Re-mapping a AGN??
« on: 28 September 2009, 20:05 »
I have a 1999 AGN and want it to be a little more spicy - can this be done? and if so what sort of performance am i looking at?
i know R-Tech have a reputation and I wouldn't look anywhere else! -

+8-10 bhp with a bit more mid-range punch & sharper response.

Gave that up years ago!!
The car has lost some power since new - it had 125 BHP but probably has only 100 left - will the remap add 10 bhp to the 100 or will it be 135bhp?
I think i need Nick here for clarification -

pretty much - no turbo = very little gains

you'll get sharper throttle and perhaps a better torque band but thats about it
