I had my 150 remapped by a Revo dealer on Friday

The car is completely standard and the improvement is massive! Get more torque low down, so don't have to drop gears so much on the motorway. It was quite happily pulling from 40 in 6th. I've not yet had a chance to properly test standing acceleration yet, but will this week

Cost me Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£399 + vat, think its the same everywhere you go. Took about 25 mins, then went out for a test drive. The engineer said it sounded like it was pulling a bit too much air in, but when he stuck his head under the bonnet all looked fine.
Apparently the after a remap the ECU is reset as if it hasn't been driven yet, so after about 5hrs drive time there should be a slight improvement as the ECU 'learns' your driving style.

I wanna get it on a rolling road to see how many ponies I'm actually getting, another engineer had done his standard 150 and got 192bhp.
Can anyone recommend a decent roller in the Reading area?

has your standard clutch survived?

Adaption after ECU power off or reset on flash is mainly only on the petrols, the EDC15's don't adapt so much, the Petrol ME7's adapt a lot more with timing, the newer EDC17's though are a different story!

Well, after 2 and a half years after the remap was done, I think my standard clutch is on the way out

I've noticed just recently that it's started slipping if I really put my toe down in 3rd and 4th (not tried 5th or 6th but I assume it'll be the same).

At the moment the slip isn't too bad, but I'm preparing myself for a clutch replacement in the not too distant future

Can any one recommend a replacement? I'll make sure I'm sat down with a nice cup of tea, just in case you mention a price

It's not been a good year for my 150 so far, I had to get the turbo refurb'd, replace one of the intercooler hoses and replace the glovebox after the catch broke.
