cat is not a legal requirement on a diesel (assuming its a diesel and not a gutsey 20v turbo?)

Is it a petrol or diesel?

If it's a petrol, you may need to code out the rear 02 sensor if it hasn't already been done. I can custom remap it if it's a petrol, and code out the sensors. The decat does give gains, but these are strangled by the very small turbo, 210-220 is all you can really expect.

Well, that depends on how you define full remap. You won't be changing as many parameters in the ECU, but the process is similar. Who's remap is on it?

Unless you're going to the bother and fairly steep cost of changing the turbo and all the bits that needs... I'd just be happy with a generic remap of an otherwise standard car to be honest.


Cheers,
