HI all,

I have had a 3 peice decat exhaust fitted to my02 wrx with K&N filter and samco hosing , and boy can i feel the difference!

since having the exhaust done ive been having boost problems when i floor it in 5th - is this telling me i need a remap ? also what do i do about the MOT end of this year ?

any help would be great.

thanks chris

I'd have thought the MOT question was an easy one to answer ...... Put a cat back on it so it passes

will it fit the new exhaust ok?

Sorry I dont know the answer to that one.

With regards to the re-map I would suggest that with an exhaust change of this kind a re-map would be required to get the best out of the car.

I would definitley get a remap.

Is that why im having boost problems? I have a friend who has recommened a guy called pat herborn?

What part of the country are you from?

Bob Rawle is well respected down south. Richard Bulmer did mine and made an excellent job of it.

I'm no technical expert but I would suggest that a re-map will solve your problem.

Bob frequents this place and will be able to help you i'm sure.

Im from Kent.. Spoke to Pat Yesterday and I think he wants me to do some work for him so it would save us both pennies ...

How much would I be looking at normally ? first remap

cdfracing

Nice one!

What bhp will I be looking at after a remap? approx?

Granby

Should be somewhere between 270-280bhp with about the same amount of torque

cdfracing

That sounds nice!

Pats a good friend of my dads mate so Im gonna give him a call next week .... i am currently restricted to about 85mph! Just been out and the boost gauge goes up so fast... do they call it too rich or something... I think a cossie wanted a race as well but i had to chicken it ...

Pat herborn is one of the best about mate you wont go wrong,

I think what you're experiencing is termed 'overboost'. Not unusually when fitting a decat downpipe to a newage without a remap. Push it any further and you may find you get a fuel cut and you head bounces off the steering wheel and the cossie ends up in your ar$e. Remap is the answer.

First Ecutek map is usually in the region of 650 as you have a fee to pay for the ecutek license. Jolly Green Monster does non-Ecutek mapping I believe so of course the license fee wouldnt apply making it around half the price I should imagine.

Cheers for the Info peeps!
