Is it possible to decat then remap in stages?

[Bigjimknickers]

Just wondered if I could bang on a decat DP, rather than a pre de cat delete, then do the cold air intake, then the cat back before finally re mapping to suit all mods?
Or will it just make it run like a bag of spanners an chuck up EmL?

Search button broke?

Depends what tuner you plan to visit.... APR and REVO maps offer stages than can be upgraded for a small fee.... If you get a proper custom tune from the likes of R-Tech, then do the mods first....

Decat will cause the EML to come on with a cat efficiency code, but will not affect the running of the car. The intake will be fine, add other hardware too such as a HPFP upgrade, intercooler etc. then take it to Niki to work his magic

Exactly this. Currently I have precat delete and CAI done. I don't intend any more hardware in the near future, but am off to R-TECH in 10 days time for Stg1 remap. Niki will work with whatever hardware you have/havent got at the time.

Thanks for the replies, so far I'm thinking:
Pipewerks de cat down pipe
Ram air cai
Bcs cat back
Then re map to suit. Possibly Revo or Celtic tuning, stage 2?
All this will be done in stages as I'll need to budget for it,
So I think the cai is probably the first mod to go for?

Worth considering a intercooler too....

Would it not be better to get all the bolt ons fitted first then get the remap done last so it brings it all together?

[Bigjimknickers]

Defiantly, just questioning weather it's ok to do last as I didn't want it running like crap on a stock map.

If you're considering the BCS Cat back then speak to me first about the cat delete option

Will do Nige, I'll be sure to call before I buy the pipewerx DP.
Will a bcs sports DP match an OE cat back system then, til I replace the rest?
