Default Scoobyclinic Thanks

Big thank you to Scooby Clinic had the following done over the last week

1) AP Racing 6 Pot Upgrade to front brakes, 354 discs, and fer 2500 pads
2) rear discs and pad upgrade
3) Full decat system
4) Remap
5) Rear bumper repair
6) Front air duct to help better feed cold air intake
7) Plumb back 'quiet' BOV

result 341+ bhp and 310+ torque. Stops brilliantly, goes very fast.

Previously had the powerstation handling kit so handles like a dream, Also previously had the WRC tech cold air feed and bigger intercooler and mapping. With that mapping the torque in the lower gears was a little more responsive 1 - 3 but the Scoobyclinic map is better in the higher gears 3.5 - 6 and more driveable.

I must say I am very impressed with Scoobyclinic, they really do go out there way to help you and everyone is friendly (even the dog most of the time). I would recommend them to everyone.

Any downsides not really unless being too good is one e.g. loads of people always there so you have limited time to express what you want doing to your car. Another customer service person required 'methinks' as I really don't want you guys to become too busy to talk to people about there babies. Adam was great and the owner guy (woops sorry forgot your name) in fact everyone was.

One question the exhaust can be loud (nice sound) but not one for the neighbours. With the bung in it sounds fine. Does anyone know what the loss in power is with the bung in.

Lets put it this way I got the Front AP Calipers/Disc/Pads from eBay and had the kit made up by BDG Developments so Scooby fitted it. Less than you think.

1) Exhaust is £495 fully fitted
2) Full remap and rolling rolled few hundred (guess the figures) hehe no license involved as already done
3) Rear discs and brakes c£400 (fitted)
4) Bumper repair few hundred and duct (under £100)
5) Some hours for rolling road and fitting brakes, etc

and you get the picture.

Adam took me to the goodie shop but I closed my eyes and walked out!!!! Plus I can sell my Brembo front calipers now and full exhaust with prodrive available for when/if I sell the car/MOT.

Presume this is a new age STi.

Just for info mine did 328/300 on SC dyno with SC middle and rear exhaust but retaining PPP sport cat in downpipe and no bung - shows the difference a decat can make. BTW I don't find this too noisy.

Aren't you supposed to keep it off-boost with a bung in, or has the map been done to account for it?

you don't need to keep the car of boost with the bung in it's not a king edward simply an extra silencer.


Yes the car was mapped with the bung in and out so no worries there, it was a good experiment as you will see by the results.

Nope the bung is for if Im driving on the motorway or just want to be quiet(er) but if I'm at another work site and want to go down the a/b roads the bung comes out takes 2 mins to do.

Yep Newage my53.

Also just for reference (to the guy who did the brakes) he said there may be some squeaking or rattle (before heat sometimes expands). Let him know there is none at all for 6-Pots (well not that I can hear anyway)

Yep went for the SC exhaust. The backbox looks pretty big my concern was possible clearance for some dodgy manholes, etc but so far ok.

Is there a way of silencing the noise (or making it more quiet) without losing any real power e.g. less than 5bhp --> question for SC?

sports cats will but not sure how much difference they make.

only way would be to hike power up using a bugger turbo in order to compensate i'd have though.

problem is what ever you do you restrict the airflow, which there in lies the problem

True hmm the sound is awesome when Im not in my neighbourhood . It's just I end up cruising back so I dont upset people. I already have the Prodrive sports cat back hmm but that has a 2.5 backpipe. Don't fancy going to a bigger turbo due to lag and cost. At this level of build it handles right, stops right and the speed is right (especially as it's an everyday vehicle) it's just the noise factor when in full decat/debunged mode.
