If you dont, then it kind of hasnt really worked mate!

If it makes no difference, why bother fitting it?

but saying that, if your map is fairly safe anyway you will "get away with it" it just wont be optimum.

.....if your on an off the shelf chip then tbh they have enuff safety in them.

Good idea to increase the plenum size along with the throttle body and cooler ends to RS500 spec....the drivability improvement is well worth it.

...so yes without a remap you may notice a slight drivability improvement.

Ask THEM, only they know how it was mapped, anyone else is just guessing

Gareth...how many people switch from a 2wd to a 4x4 plenum?...Its gonna be about the same difference.....and only the absolute hardcore like yourself Gareth would actually bother fiddling with the map!

IMO of course!!!

spoke to karl about this for myself and the top end fueling could lean off so it would need to be checked at the least
