REMAP Stage 1
Hi all
Next saturday 3rd February I decided to get my machine remapped. One of the guys from car group going to be In Coventry so I am heading there. He is charging £145 so is much cheaper than other rip-off garages. The remap include scan and backup of the current ECU settings(in case something goes wrong) take around 2h he said so if anybody is interested you free to join me.

N/A tuning is notoriously hard, especially without other supporting mods, so I would be sceptical about a 28bhp increase in power on that alone with no decat, flowing of heads, camshaft, etc...
I'm sure it'll optimised some parameters, and I don't mean to sound negative, but just bracing you to not be crestfallen expecting such a big jump. Is he denoting before and after? |

Stage 2 requires decat, filters, exhaust and all other sort of parts to be replaced what I am not bothered to go for. I prefer to keep everything OEM and stock on my car. £145 is not killer to give a go. Cars performance going to be scanned before and after to see the changes tool to be used is Alientech Kess v2.

No worries, for the price you may experience some remapping of the fuel flow parameters to make it more responsive, but power gains will be minimal.
I used to have a B6 4.2 V8 S4 and with a Milltek non res, racing downpipes (track only, ahem, no cats), removed inlet flaps, Cold Air Induction kit, and Mihea from MRC fiddling with the ecu, the car went from 344 to 372... Didn’t really feel any different, however, my god it sounded amazing though, like an Aussie V8 touring car, it screamed!!! Last edited by 1781cc; 28th January 2018 at 01:22 PM.

Sometimes you get what you pay for.
I have a stage 2 map on my 06 4.2tdi and it goes very well. Economy power and torque are better, gear change is smoother. My mapper who is very well known and experienced, told me the car was already mapped, but a complete mess of a job. Likely didn’t know what they were doing. So worth baring in mind sometimes your better sticking with factory unless you know the quality of the map going on.

The difference being that on the TDI, you turbo power... Turbo mapping is easy power

I did indeed ! Still not on the car, waiting for spacers for the rear, as they marginally touch the calipers ;(
