Nope, should bolt right up to a '96, flange and all. You won't need to remap unless you want to run more boost out of the 16, but the car itself won't notice.

Welcome to the site!

Hay thanks for that, i no it will bolt up just thought it might run lean because of the more cfm,s thanks neil

The ECU and sensors will correct for that to a degree. Once you start running 12+ PSI, it will freak out and cut fuel, but you'll be fine on stock wastegate settings.

Once you get everything done to it, you should go for an ECU tune. RICA, IPD, and I'm sure there are more - all offer good tunes for your car to get more power out of that setup.

yes your rite,i tride a flee bay chip worked well for about 4 mounths and the ecu chip lost its memory and the chip couldnt remember boost control and over boosted inevery gear etc,only prob is the cost of a real tuner chip is the bloody freighting.would love 2 have a ipd tune....
