Which intake are you running??
Rhys:
Cool cheers! nice to see it is possible.
Dont wish to hijack thread, but going to ask 1 question whats best first air filter or Exhaust system? As i got money for remap, just dont know wether to spend £350 on filter or wait and find nice second had miltek for a couple 100 more? just cant afford to do both.

....I think I'd be inclined to do the exhaust first, then remap, and air intake later - That's what I did. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but I think a high-flow exhaust will probably indirectly help any intake's breathing rather than vica versa, but I might be talking rubbish.

im with robin on this one. however if your after gains it needs to be the downpipe+sports cat and not the cat back exhaust section. the only thing with the exhaust is you will need an extra £50 to go straight onto the stage 2 map.
i really wouldnt bother with the cat back at all until you have finished everything else on the car. its more of a garnishing modification.
As above, the exhaust requires a different map ideally, whereas the intake can be added at any time with no map tweaking required as the ECU can adjust enough to compensate for it

....Agreed but I would add that if an aftermarket intake is adding significant power and you are running a stock fuel pump and don't want to spend on replacing it, you may want to consider a map such as Revo which allows you to turn down a B/T/F setting to compensate.
Janner_Sy:
not really. none of the maps seem to suffer with fuel cut any more, with the exception of revo when the settings are yanked up. I never had any isue on shark stage 2 or bluefin stage 2 with an ITG added after
