price for new cat? (3rd gen)

[<Daneh>]

anyone know?,

Also is there a way i can find out if my current one is knackered after the car only put out 185bhp at the fly on rollers other week. :confused:

Just decat it - you know it makes sense

[davehg]

could you decat it if you run a standard ecu hks induction and rear box without re-mapping it or do you need to do anything at the same time as the de-cat?

[Mark C]

I would like to know the answer to this too, as a power fc (or similar) seems a little ott just for fitting an induction kit and decatted exhaust to me, but then i never had a turbo\'d car before :confused: .

Not usually advised as any risk of running lean, which decat inevitably may assist, will lead to far more expense c/o rebuild than wots generally seen as a cunning & useful plan c/o ECU upgrade.....http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008\' target=\'_blank\'>http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/im/imvho.gif\' border=0>

thats why id rather replace than put it a decat, i got an induction kit and i know my ECU is a knightsports one but afaik nothings been xhanged mixture wise.

£275 + VAT from WGT in May this year

I also needed an air pipe (£30 ish + VAT) but I\'m not sure if this is always the case?

im runnig a standard ECU but have HKS induction and backbox, all soul be ok dont you think? can you remapp/ tune with  standard ecu?

[Andyp]

i\'m running stock ecu with hks induction and kakimoto n decat.. though I don\'t feel safe, i\'m always worrying something may go wrong, but as im only at 0.5 bar it shouldn\'t be doing TOO much damage *touch wood*

I\'d get yaself an apexi you can pick them up cheap as chips now

Where from mate??Most places looking for around £600 for an Apex\'i ECU....i seem to miss the \'special offers\'....

well 600 is still cheap, were 1200 at one point...

Umm theres a few places.. you can get used one from Dragon , there\'s this place  selling pfc & commander for $850.. which is chuff.. have a peak about

I got mine from reworx but still havn\'t fit the dam thing hehe

[scooby_si]

& Dave standard ECU aint tunable although you should just about get away with a back box & induction any more thou & i wouldn\'t wana risk it personally but maybe i\'m just risk adverse http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008\' target=\'_blank\'>http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/7/7_2_112.gif\' border=0> lol

..so they are cheaper...not cheap though :-))

...the second link to used PFC and commander is interesting, i\'ve sent an email off and all being well I\'ll order one over the next couple of weeks.....doubt I\'ll beat $850 for both...just waiting for info on P&P......

..unless someone can tell me locally ie UK where i might get it for that price??

Cheers Andy for the advice.
