Soooooooooooooooooooo, did this happen and what was the outcome ?

Yes it did go ahead but as ever my luck didnt hold out for long.   

Topher also came down to oversee the proceedings so he can probs give a better summary of what went down. 

Anyways, the actual remap went ahead but I apparently have a split pipe or summat even worse wrong wi me car.  The boost kept droppin off.  Was gettin 14psi which dropped right down to 5-7.  So I guess I have to sort out that problem before i get the full result of the ramap.  I'm gonna quote Nick from R-Tech (who was a very nice chap btw) cos im crap wi technical sh!t.  "once the R-Tech spec 1 remap was in the ecu the peak power was 169BHP at the flywheel the peak power was around 1000rpm below the 197bhp peak power.   I have looked on past dybo run from last week on AGUs and you power curve is on the correct line until the boost starts to fall off.    So in therory you should be good for 195+bhp when the leak is fixed."

Anyways i will keep yas updated. 

On top of this frustration at my car I am now single.  They say bad luck comes in threes so my laptop will probably blow up as im typi

Yep all was looking good on the map until the car started losing boost under certain load conditions. The splitter valve was cranked right back to full re-circ mode (still don't trust those valves) but made no difference. There was nothing in the logs to suggest that the ECU was pulling the boost, so chances are there's a split hose somewhere or a loose end fitting that is letting boosted air out under high pressure.

Ben it might be helpful to find out exactly what it was your mate did to the car when it was 'fixed', as it seems they just camouflaged the initial problem by chucking more boost through.

Hi!
 
The best results of the day was from my transit van which we played around with in the afternoon. Standard fly wheel power was 85bhp, after the remap in made 97bhp at the wheel which works out around 130bhp engine power. 

We also had James mk4 Gti Na 2.0 16v on the rolling road, which kicked out the extra 10bhp as predicted.

Marcos 1.8t had already been remapped in the past to sort out some running issues. before we worked on the car we did a power run which made 165bhp at the wheels,  we remapped the car expecting closer to 200bhp, but the next run with our remap only turned out  169bhp .  We thought the was an issue with our lazer rpm pick up which connects to the cars crank but this was fine??  we carried out another run and noticed the boost only peak to 12psi and then dropped to around 5psi.  I am 100% sure once this boost bleed has been sorted the engine will make 195bhp+. 

I will try and get some pictures and videos posted up of the day.
Nick

So do you need another car to try again for the results?
