No cam will give the power they state without a remap... And youll prob find in the small print with breathing mods as well...

Ph3 seems the more popular. You'd need a good remap after.

Am I right in thinking that the OEM ECU can't be re-mapped? You need a piggy back ECU? (Dastek Unichip?) instead and this can be mapped and work in conjunction with the standalone ECU?

Nope, you can map the standard ecu.

depends on what cam , not all cams need a MAP to set the fueling

To get the best out of them it's advisable.

Let's be honest most people are not going to fit a very mild cam profile for a small gain. Not when you factor in the cost of fitting (inc new Cam belt etc).

you might as well piss into the wind.
