Thank you,

Could I be doing damage to the engine by running a decat without a remap?

The car seems to be fine, pulls lovely with no flat spots.

I would like to re-map soon but can't afford £500+ at the moment.

You won't be doing any real damage as long as you aren't caning it. It will be doing one of 2 things I believe (someone please correct me if / when I'm wrong) It will either be running slightly rich or lean.

What map have you got in there at the moment?

I've PM'ed him.

Can't afford it but I think i'll get it done anyway

Cheaper than a new engine....

What panel filter should I get? I'm looking at the Green one at the moment.

It just so happens I have a green filter going spare. As I fitted an induction kit.

It's only done about 1000 miles too.

£20.00 and it's yours.
