No I was thinking of standard cars making below 200bhp!
And getting an extra 1 bhp on superunleaded! :grin:

But yes I agree with the Revo thing and not forgetting bluefin either! :laugh:

That's because their official power output is 197BHP.  Their German power output is 200PS  :nerd: :grin: :grin:

Most MK5's I've seen make near as damnit their factory numbers in stock form  :smiley:

ok so for a newbie can someone explain how this remapping thing actually works ?  Specifically :
  • what (mechanically or otherwise) gets done to my car ?
  • what results can i expect
  • how long does it take
  • what is a ballpark figure of what its gonna cost
  • will it affect my insurance
