i have upgraded exhaust,intercooler,fuel pump and wiring upgrade

car is running superbly and its quick enough for me,but does it need a re-map for health reasons if not wanting more power?

thanks in advance

All of thse could have affected the safe running of the car Simon. Just get it ran on a rolling road and you should be able to tell if a remap is appropriate or not from that?

I did a turbo back exhaust inc high flow cats and didnt remap for 10k miles with absolutelly no issues... but the mods you have done warrent spending the relativelly minimal money on a remap IMO... I highly recomend it in fact smile

Yes the extra power is great but the difference in light throttle response was increadable smile

I have ltd experience in Nobs but after speaking with some very knowledgeable guys at roush or revolve as now called, Trevor jasper there advised me to have a re map no matter what, the reason he gave was that the standard set ecu (as im calling it) will only adjust within the parameters set after 1k miles with the mods you have, the re map will change those parameters so the ecu will adjust accordingly, which means the car will be more efficient and long term less stress and be smoother through the rev range.
