Urm hard to tell really.  Originally I did have 159bhp with a Custom Code map, then I added the SFS Performance Pipe and then had it remapped by R-Tech which then made 176bhp

Then I added a Forge pancake pipe and it made 190bhp but that was on the old rolling road software at R-Tech

With a full TBE it is producing the figures on that graph which is about right although that is with a dodgy actuator so its producing the boost quite in the way it should

New one of those is being fitted on Friday along with some more map tweaking

Best bet is the 50mpg + you still get with the performance  :cool:
