nice result telboy , thanks for sharing
Good on superchips too for sorting out.

now bear with me, this is directed at all maps not just superchips , but in this case it is SC
Im not being negative but im not sure I believe the whole 'low power map' idea.
Is that the DSG version? Why would they even have a LP map? And how did it make it onto your car?
With stringent R&D and versioning this kinda thing doesnt just happen.
The whole thing 'bothers' me. Maybe they give out the LP may as a rule (most people will prob be happy and never question it), and only upgrade you to higher power map if you complain. Is this because the higher power map isnt good for the car?

Im sure there are more than a few SC owners out there running the LP map and dont even know it!

just my rantings , Im glad that for you this issue is sorted.


iirc they had one for the ST, some people dont want to go mad with the power believe it or not  :huh: :huh: lol

I believe tuners offer an LP map, as some insurance companies will only allow an 'X'% increase in power, otherwise they'll cancel the policy/refuse cover... not good if you're say 9 months in and building no claims discount. Then as soon as you've jumped ship to a specialist, you get your tuner to upload a 'full' map to your car.

Mistakes happen, how they are judged though should be on the service you receive in rectifying them.

maybe SC supplies certain dealers with a LP remap as a warranted optional extra for customers who want a little bit more but don't want to void the warranty, like stevep's richter map thru his dealer?

but glad you got it all sorted out telboy. 

however, that is some weird graph though even if its a "low power" version. If its a legitimate "map" then no way should it have had a "hole" in the plot like it did. It should still be smooth to a certain extent.
