Took the Leon to a rolling Road day @ SuperChips on saturday

Shocked me & them to what she's putting out as standard..........:shiny[1]:










197bhp / 291lb torque


thats running on bog basic sainsbury derv too.




I knew they ran at more than 170, even their own car only ran at 187, but at least I'm not too fussed about a remap now.....

"£500 saved to spend on other pointless crap" according to the missus

Bog Basic standard, with only 4600 miles on the clock, so should lossen up a little more soon :go:



Remaps will only take it to 212bhp, due to the diesel particle filter installed. So, a 15bhp gain would cost me £33 per bhp :bonkers:

saying that, my remap worked out at £14 per bhp!

get a nice filter and i'd contemplate a remap ;)

Dont know if you have spoken to Richard yet but he thinks a much bigger gain is just around the corner

The only way forward to acheive "really bigger" gains is very expensive.

Dual Core intercooler
Bigger Turbo
Remove the DPF
Larger Injectors

That would see 260bhp+ & enough torque to stop the globe turning


However, as I need the car to start every time,every day, I'm happy with what its pushing out

(for now:sailor: )
