Cool New member, some minor issues help

Hello guys,

I'm very happy to be a part of this community. And I'm even more happy with the car I newly bought. I have 3 issues to ask you about.

1) The ABC Drive carefully message goes on only when I'm at a speed above 100 km/hr, and the road isn't in a very good condition. I checked the hydraulic level its a bit below than where it should be. Scanned it using the "STAR" scan system, the fault was low pump pressure. May adding some Hydraulic Fluid help?

2) When I accelerate, and then put the car on "N" the needle isn't stable though it moves between 650 and 700 rpm. Is this normal? when put at "P", the needle is stable

3)I'm thinking of removing the Catalytic converter, and resonators, however do you think the car would need an ECU remap? As I have ready that some cars lose their pressure when the exhaust is straight piped

Thank you a lot in advance

where did you do the ECU remap? and do you recommend doing so? does the supercharge remain reliable?

I'm in Lebanon, I guess I can order the chip so I export my stock ECU, send it to the tuning firm, and they send me back the modified ECU code
