Remap Time Has Arrived

[mctwistuk]

I thought it would be next year before i got my remap but i have managed to save the pennies and am looking at August time hopefully,

My list of mods so far are:

aps CAI

walboro fuel pump

meercat sportcat downpipe exhaust system which has been heat wrapped

sfs afta maf hose

performance friction front pads

recirculating oil catch tank

The car has had it's 30k service so spark plugs have been renewed.

I seem to have covered off all of the mods on Andy's mod list and went a wee bit further with the CAI but just wondered if it was worth porting the standard headers and heat wrapping them, just heat wrapping them or leaving them alone?

Am welcome to any comments/suggestions.

cheers

get your self on the remap group buy thats running just now with andy forrest.

has anyone ported standard headers on a hawkeye sti and had it mapped? If so what were the results? Should i get the pops and bangs turned on or are they annoying? Can Andy vary the amount as i would only want it to be subtle lol.

The pops and bangs are a great laugh, and it is controllable (just like a dump valve). You don't need to be popping and banging everywhere if you drive normal. Its a great laugh and I do miss my pops and bangs....it also becomes a talking point at meets etc

Its all up to yourself, you may however get bored with it. Mine did it when I decellerated from 4000 to 2500 revs. I don't think you can have different levels, its either on or off to my understanding.

ask Andy but for my 05 sti he didnt reckon the headers would make much difference on the standard turbo. he recomends uprated sparkplugs tho,pfr7b's a colder plug. otherwise i just changed to silicon boost hoses all round for piece of mind
