hello

[nick_young]

Hello all! just joined up to sidc so wanted to say hi! bought a my00 turbo 2000 last july and absolutely love it. just a quick question, was wondering if anyone knew of somewhere in or around edinburgh who fitted boost gauges and also when is it necessary to get a remap? (bit new to this) ive got a ninja back box and green filter, and hoping to get the rest of the exhaust system in the near future when i save up some money. any help would be appreciated. thanks

I would  say Hypertech would be your best choice to get your Gauges fitted but cant remember where they are,im sure someone wil soon come along with the answer there.

As regards to remap, I would say if you changed your downpipe (along with getting rid of all the cats) you would need a remap. but you would get away with changing the rest of the exhaust sections one at a time and letting the ecu get used to the changes by driving the car off boost for a while before gradualy bringing in the boost. In my opinion changing the downpipe to an open mouthed one changs the exhaust flow so much it would be better having it remaped then to avoid overboosting and other assosiated engine check lights (o2 sensor etc)

With you having a Classic, if you were to fit any sort of induction kit (apart from a better pannel filter) you MUST have the car mapped and not drive on boost before the map due to the fact of changing the airflow (if I remember correctly) up to 40% of the airflow getting into your engine can be unmetered by your MAF sensor, leaving you running the risk of melting a piston etc as the car starts to run lean.

My recomendation would be to save up your mods (except back box etc) and have them fitted just before your mapping session. I changed my exhaust and fitted an inner wing induction kit to the car along with a couple of other bits, got it mapped and had approx 80 bhp over standard (newage sti) and better fuel economy too!!!!!

 

As regards to mapping as you have a MY00 car you are able to get your ecu remaped with the Ecutec software, the best place in the word to get this done is on your doorstep, by none other than Andy Forrest down at Port Seaton  www.andyforrestperformance.co.uk for more info.

 

Hope this helps

thanks guys. was thinking about going to andy forrest cause i have heard he is really good, how much do they generally cost for a remap?

[st3ph3n]

First map is £500+VAT including the software licence. Subsequent maps are £200. There's a group buy on just now which would get you and 8% reduction if arranged for something before the first couple of weeks in April.
