Hi there, I've put a 3" turbo back exhaust with decat on my stock 97 STI type R.
I'm aware of the potential issues with boost creep now there no cat, i also dont think the car was ever mapped for irish fuel even tho has ran grand on it.

So can the ECU be remapped or is a piggy back unit needed? Whos best to do it?
Anyone ever use Kamil Kubica Mapping?

Thanks..
 
AP Performance best message him trough Instagram does an excellent job

Link ecu best way to go 97 standard ecu can't be mapped unless piggy back but that's older tech these days
 
As above, Aonghus is the only man for the job.
Pity, there was a discount for Link ECU back on black Friday. Would make a difference, would transform the car though
 
Not cheap but if Youre keeping the car its the way to go especially if youre adding more bits down the line they are a great system
 
Thanks lads i messaged AP performance on Instagram waiting on his reply...

I'm not too well up on this but if over boost is a risk now then is a stupid question to use a boost controller as an easy fix instead of going down the route of ECU changes etc?

Boost controller is a band aid tbh.
If the ECU ever picked up something,
Detonation etc where it would have to pull boost to Actuator pressure to protect the engine, your manual boost controller will over ride that and you'll keep hitting full boost.. Causing unknown damage.
Temp fix... I dono.. Maybe.. Someone else along here will say a good educated answer... But I wouldn't be a fan tbh.
Might do until you get mapped really
