Andy. Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 Hi Beags Currently so far I have done the following Full Engine Rebuild uprated intercooler uprated turbo 20g uprated fuel pump and regulator coil overs all round with pillow ball top mounts Strut Braces (under body) + engine turbo back exhaust Bov Boost Controller there is so many photos and more that I have done in the 6 month period This is ready for its remap at surrey rolling road in the next month Really excited to see what figure she will push, I'm not that fused about power compare to reliability so as long as I hit the 300 figure I will be happy :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Don't bother with the boost controller, just control it with the ecu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy. Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 I was Wondering about the boost but due to the turbo upgrade I had no choice to take off the boost solenoid because it could not control the pressure no more so when I spoke to Surrey rolling road they advised to scrap the genuine one keep it harnessed in until I arrive at the shop as that will keep all lights off dash which has worked great I have not stuck it in boost properly until the remap is done, but was told to get a manual one and set to standard pressure until he configures the car, The car is garaged and is not my day to day.

Tidgy Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Don't boost it till its remapped, you wont know what the AFR's are doing and could melt the engine before you know it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy. Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 Nah that's good to hear - iv spoken to another company Scooby clinic I think it was and had a chat with those guys and they explained to me there is a chance that when you remap the ecu the mappers can frag it by accident in other terms messed up your ecu and then your screwed and have to pay for a replacement or a piggyback ecu apparently this happens often so that's why he gave me a heads up, me not so confident now With that info I related it to andy forrest and he explained this is not a common issue at there branch and I should not have any issues but please bear in mind there is a chance this may happen still Any One on here had any issues with there ecu from having it professional mapped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieSPECb Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Hi Andy.. Like yourself, am new here.. Cant comment on other remappers, but I used Bob Rawle in Swindon.. Awesome bloke, very professional and have yet to meet anyone more knowledgable about scoobies than him.. Believe he was the first in the world to remap an impreza over 300bhp, even though Subaru themselves believed it could not be done.. He went on to develop their ecu sofware.. No rolling road with Bob.. As he said to me "how often do you drive on a rolling road then?".. Had some interesting runs up a nice road near Swindon with loads of stuff hooked up to the car while he remapped it.. End result was 323bhp (from 280bhp stock) but it is the way the power is delivered that is so impressive.. Silky smooth.. Brmm brmm..
