Title: FINALLY GOT A REMAP!
Post by: jonesltd on 31 October 2009, 18:21

OMG!!!! I finally put my hands in my pocket and dug real deep and got a remap! Wicked! But I went for a more torque and fuel save as well do 75% of a stage 1 but it pulls through ALL the gears! What a HUGE improvement! Pulls in 3rd and any gear keeps pulling at 3000, 4000 and now red line 5000 and keeps going rather than getting to 3000-4000 and dying!

WICKED!!!! Best money spent in a long while!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If they're offering franchises i guess they dish out base maps. Nothing scary about that, a lot of tuners do it.

It might not be an r-tech map but you're welcome to come and put it on the rollers to see how close to the quoted 160 you are :wink:

good work on getting yours mapped  :cool: but 160 bhp? each to their own but maybe your not fussed about the figures so much?
i take it yours is a pd 130 well just compare the r-tech figure http://www.bigbhp.co.uk/id88.html (http://www.bigbhp.co.uk/id88.html) pd130 = 180 bhp/300 lb/ft torque  :wink:

Thanks but I aint too fussed about figures....the guy said if I wanted to go to 180 then by all means come back as he is only up the road and will do it but for what i want that is enough and also dont want to worry about hoses etc or whatever else could go wrong....
