tried to post last night but it didnt post (good job really had a bit of a go so here goes)
decatting will not kill your scoob , but to get the best from this mod a remap is the way to go imho BUT i also think if your gona spend money mapping a decat needs other surportting mods fuel pump, knock link etc, because every time you add another mod there is a map to go with it ,
mapping a decat out to silly psi's etc without other mods will push other componates past there working toloranace and cause problems
i had a 97my which ecu could not be mapped (only the 97/98my couldnt be, pre that could be ref: wimpys post)
and had a tsl system on mine with no problems at all did over 35000 mls with this system on and the scoob lasted over 170 000mls
might be different for newage so wont coment lol
cheers james
