   Right i no there is tons of threads on this and iv already searched to get an answer but cant seem to get one, Atm i have a vts with a 4,2,1 and straight through exhaust and a bmc air filter. I love the sound of throttle bodies and have been given a set of gxr 750 bodies and my mate said he will help me build a manifold but what i want to no is if the car would run okay without a remap, im not after big gains atm just want the noise. Any help would be great.
   Thanks

   ..oh im not 100% sure but i think you will need full standalone management too, the standard ecu wont understand ITB's.
   
   Do it though, its worth it.
   
   Budget around £600 for standalone magement, the set up costs on the rollers

   you wont have it running with the stock ecu and not touching it.
   
   Well not if you want to use the car.
   
   You can map a stock ecu, personally I wouldnt be doing so but thats just my opinion.

   Can be done but the money spent on flashing the ECU it would be better/worthwhile getting an aftermarket ecu with added features and would be easier to map for future mods.
