I am contemplating having mine mapped at some point in the near future and not having much knowledge of the bugeye's, would ask for your kind assistance in advising what are the most obvious mods etc to use... I.e. what turbo they currently run, what to change to etc.. so a shopping list really... lol
I suppose a healthy 330 would be nice (350 would be superb), but I don't intend on pushing it too far as I use the car as a daily driver and intend on keeping reliability top priority.
Also, does fitting anything such as top mounts etc require remaps or would they run safely (just with no additional benefits without a map?) I know turbos, injectors etc would be a different ball game...
Many thanks in advance.

If it's a 2001/2002 model then it was not remapped but fitted with a boost clamp/GEMS daughterboard.
simple removal of this and rejoining of the MAP sensor wire in the ECU and it can be remapped.
If it is later then it will use ECUTEK, but depending on year, depends whether it will be locked to ECUTEK.
I think the locking only came into effect in 2005> as I have just remapped a 2002 STi car that had a TSL 333 remap. Not sure when the TSL 333 was applied to this car but it would of used ECUTEK, it didn't stop me getting in there and remapping (license free).
