Car booked into Jabbasport
« on: 26 July 2005, 21:10 »
I've finally gotten around to booking my baby into Jabba on Monday..... Cannot wait!!!  :grin:

My car's totally standard, atm. What do you lot think my chances are of getting over 200 bhp? (It's a V 2000 AGU, btw.

My mates' old T 99 AGU made 211 bhp there a couple of years back with a Milltek (sp.?) exhaust & an uprated turbo pipe.  :cool:

What do you reckon?

should see at least 200bhp from it, if not closer to the 210 mark.

I'm taking my mk2 there once I've sorted a few more things for it's proper remap. After I've got all the little bits on there I've been told I should be seeing 230/240bhp with all the mods. :D

On a completely stock AGU realistically you'd be lucky to get 195bhp ... but then again jabba's dyno is notoriously "optimistic" :wink: so you never know. Its not about the numbers anyway its about the drive !

Good luck ! Mine was with them 2 days and they couldn't remap it, overrated IMO :laugh:

When i got my agu remapped at jabba it was 155hp as standard and came out as 215hp, So thats a 60hp gain which is pretty impressive in my book. :smiley:

Jabbasport have been excellent with the service they have given me,did you talk to mike about why they couldn't remap your car tophuh?
They have a new and improved dyno but they may use the old one for your remap.

Just read that it because you previously had revo,which does tend to cock things up.

Yeah the revo didnt make things easy, thats why i had to go back to jabba a second time after going back to revo to have my ecu flashed back to stock.

This was back at their old premises, mike couldn't offer any explanation as to why it wasn't working... just kept overboosting and blowing fuses (the turbo was only a week old so it wasnt that). To be honest they all seemed more interested in where the lifting ramps were going in the new unit than in my car, mike actually went out there twice while in the middle of mapping, leaving me sat in the waiting room like a puddin' .. only to be told after 6 hours of waiting that he couldn't do it. (i was there for 5 hours the first time, after being assured on the phone that revo wasnt a problem, but obviously it was !)

I don't go around telling people not to go there because I know of a lot of people who are happy with their work (you included !) .. but you'll never see me back there, or hear me recommend them.. just from my personal experience :cool:
