Yeah looking at those figures on the graph and scale it certainly looks good.I'm a manual G/box at the moment its a totally standard gt 170 with 50k on the clock, i have had it for about a yr and its a nice clean car.

I think 200bhp will be plenty for me as i'm not a thrasher lol but like the idea of a little bit more torque and better fuel eco.
So a remap and miltek exhaust should do the trick.
Its the remap that's the question Revo? or do i get a custom map ?

I'd suggest trying out one if you can; think REVO offer you a trial version so you can have a play with it to see if you like it.  Obviously if you were closer I'd recommend what I've got  :grin: :grin:

I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

They are much more complex to remap thanks in large to the Siemens ECU and the DPF pipe  :sad:

170 is still my weapon of choice though  :evil: :cool:
