Does it affect the engine mapping (1.7 Puma) when fitting a K&N air filter and a Hoffman straight 'race' pipe ?




Thanks for any responses.

Original poster again: I've been told that these changes don't affect the mapping. However, that's not to say that re-mapping wouldn't be beneficial.

The Puma ecu is fixed (very few internal options to tweak) any changes you make to engine without fitting a custom chip invariably go wasted but may sound nice :-) but any changes could affect insurance.
searching is fruitful | I'm a sponge not a mechanic | please do try that if stuck with a Puma problem whilst waiting for a reply | For the Puma fan this read 'The Inside Story Book' is very nice to own sometimes still seen for sale
