brake caliper and disc upgrade
its a year 2000 turbo, i already have 4 pot calipers, so the upgrade from this would be the sti brake kit, if alloys have to be 18" then this wont be a issue as far as i was aware sti 2004 or before was 17" but eather way wheels wont be a problem i just mainly need to understand the fitment for the caliper as iv seen this is the best action to take to make the breaking a better experience, rule one make more power you need to make better stopping power

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

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.- Hello Im New here
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 :)- Hello Im New here
