Take it easy before the remap?
Lucastheone92:
Im getting my BCS Powervalve TBE fitted next week but not getting stage 2 remap from r-tech until around 6 weeks after that.
Will I have to take it easy for the whole 6 weeks or can I drive as normal? BOOOOST.
AJP:
Drive it how you normally would. You won't break anything, don't worry!
Are you going for a decat or sport cat?
Best mod I've done. Love mine.

Ok only because some people have said just don't go over 2000rpm and etc and to take it easy or it may go into limp mode!
I went for sports cat what about you? I'm pretty excited!

No, it won't go into limp mode. Worst thing that can happen is the EML coming on because of the increased flow - this will be mapped out when you go to R-Tech. And that's nothing to worry about in itself, just the ECU expecting values within a certain range. The extra flow exceeds those values, the lambda sensor tells the ECU, and the ECU thinks there's something wrong... but the ECU doesn't know about the 3" downpipe and big cat allowing the extra flow. Performance is unaffected.
I went for the sport cat too. R32 style with 35 degree tips. Sounds incredible, and gives a considerable bump in torque and power. It actually made my clutch slip, so I had to hold off on the Stage 2 R-Tech map while I sorted that - I was driving around on R-Tech Stage 1 for a while and it took ages for the EML to come on. A good few months. Then got the Stage 2, and released even more power! It's a great mod.

Ok awesome I'm not sure why people seem to think it will cause me problems.
That's cool I also went for the 35 degree tips too they look real good!
Was it pretty noticeable then even before the map? Thought the power and torque gains from a turbo back alone were minimal so that's good to hear!
