Well all i can say is WOW!

I had never been bothered about remapping, but Fook me i'm getting it done!
It is far quicker than standard, knocked me back in the seat and was boosting to 14psi instantly

Tried to talk to Dave afterwards but i couldn't stop grinning, the lads in their must have though i was a right kid!

It felt like when i went from my 1.8 zafira to the 225!

Also the exhaust they have fitted is the 3" stainless one, sounds awsome aswell!

In all the excitement forgot to add i bought these babies!

 

[Guest]

nice one .it it realy that quick?

 

[phil]

Too right mate, i felt like i could take on a ferrari!
with the standard car it seems to come on boost and accelerate at a steady pace
this beast just pulled and pulled like a train!
It was like the acceleration you get at 5Krpm+ o standard but from 2500rpm
Very impressed! still smiling

 

[Guest]

what bhp does it give you ?

[phil]

Not sure around 270 as standard i think, they are going on the rollers soon
but they have the SS exhaust and intercooler so must be knocking on 280 at least!

It certainly felt like a lot more power and torque than standard!

 

[andy bassett]

stop stop stop i cant take it any more

 

[phil]

No mate it was a Remap, they have a boost gauge fitted so i could see it boosting to 14psi approx, but too scared to take my eyes off the road for too long!

no its still f :shock: ked , its that slow it dont move any more :x :x :x

What they playing at? cant they just chuck a new ecu on it?
or are they just crap at fault finding?

 

[andy bassett]

they have fitted £1800 worth of new parts , they are waiting for a new ecu you turn up, 10-14 days they said, that was on monday

 

[phil]

What they fitted?
sounds like they have been swopping bits at random in hope of fixing it!

 

[andy bassett]

you could not be more true

 

[phil]

Hopefully you'll be back on the road soon then mate!
tell them to order the old ECU in the pre euroIV engine so you can remap it! :lol:

It costs around £400 i think, but i'm sure Dave posted a while back saying £300 + VAT as an introductory offer.
I havent fitted the exhaust it was all on K-tecs car, I'm sure the larger diameter does allow it to breath easier but no figures yet.

Andy,

Found out today that the ECU comes directly from the factory in Dieppe. That would explain the delay
