Title: advice on returning to oem
Post by: mr lobitos on April 02, 2017, 10:28:23 am

just a few questions, finding it hard to sell my ed30 so am going to take peoples advice and return the modded parts to standard

as the car is remapped would changing the exhaust back to standard effect the running of the car or is it a big job to get a standard map re installed

thanks for help

I personally don't think the standard exhaust would make much difference, was it a generic map or something tailored to the car on the rollers?
I know the majority of maps are reversible.

I think yours is stage 1 isn't it?  In which case refitting the factory downpipe and cat back won't make a huge difference.

I would also get it flashed back to standard.  If it's Revoed, you can just pull the battery and it'll be in 'standard equivalent' slow mode when reconnected!
