Rather than start a new thread I haz a question:

Would a chip/remap on my vr tone down all the pops in the exhaust? Ie' stop dumping too much fuel through and use what is needed.

It's like I've got a Pringles exhaust  :grin: coz once it pops it just don't feckin stop!...

A good exhaust will stop that. A vr should have a cat and 3 silencers. What's yours got?
A remap good lean it out a bit to give more power and less fuel but will get hot and less reliable

miltek decat > custom midbox delete > scorpion backbox... yeah its straight through to the backbox haha :grin:

It sounds the nuts but i dont want the popping... on the overrun it can pop for 20-30 seconds, longer if need be

That's the problem then. A remap can't sort that out lol

Why aren't you concerned that your already juicy engine is wasting it as well, I know I would be as petrol is friggin expensive. Surely without a cat and the fact its overfuelling its never going to pass MOT emissions tests?
