remaps

[Anger]

If i take the manual boost controller of my car will it upset the map it has on it.

Thanks
James :)

Has the car been remapped with the boost controller fitted?
What boost is the controller set to?

[Anger]

Yeah it was and its mapped at 1 bar

Dave at Gatwick was telling me to get it taken off and its booked in for a service next week so was gonna get then to do it if its not gonna cause any probs

[Dyney]

If it's been mapped for it then leave it on.
Dave probably thinks it's not been remapped for it.

Hardly going to be a warrenty issue ;)
Well not with Subaru :D

If you really want it off then it should be fine to reconnect the std boost solenoid, but obviously the boost and therefore power will be reduced :(

Wouldn't your STi V be running 1 bar (or more) anyway.
A standard UK is just under 1 bar on the standard map / boost controller

If you let me know your ECU code I may be able to tell you what the standard map is doing.

[Anger]

Ive been told they run 1.2 bar but im not sure, when i get a min i'll see if i can find the ECU code thanks Scott

Its been EcuTec'd but im not sure of the mapper :2ponder:

Thanks

why do you need if off ? what are Dave's reasons ?

should be running ~1.1 bar if still on stnd VF28

i dont see any reason to take it off, unless its got a new engine from them and is warenteed for X miles and so should be 100% standard.

if its been mapped with the controller there, then i would have hoped the mapper would have put 1.0bar and a totally flat duty cycle in the ecu - so it would work but probably be crap at controlling it and not wonderful spool etc.

Its got a VF29 on it :)

I just hate having it under the bonnet in full view and just worry that at shows this year anyone could just twist the valve on it if i leave the bonnet open :susp:

If it will need a remap again i'll wait til i get one later next month :thumb:

Im not sure why Dave thought it was better to have it off, he just said he would take it off

[Scott.T]

can't see why it would have one if it's been ecutek'd
boost control in a ecutek ecu is spot on and has alot more control/options then most aftermarket dedicated electronic boost controllers, even better with a 3-port solenoid

[ScoobyDuck]

now makes sense... its a manual boost controller. Does help if you read the post properly !

thats why he's saying take it off :p

[Dyney]

BTW It's not an STI Scott
It's a Ver5 WRX RA :)

Yes Steve, I don't think Dave approves of them ;)
