All I can say guys is WOW!!!

It is now smoother and picks up speed amazingly.... The acceleration in 4th from 3500 rpm to the redline is awesome... in fact it's too quick I was ending up well in excess of a ton in the blink of an eye....

Bob is also a truly nice guy - very knowledgeable and enjoys his work - good fun today holding 1 bar of boost in 4th and 5th......

Be sure your cars are ready before you go there - ie proper re-inforced turbo to intercooler hose (ie Samco - as Branko suggested to you by email) if non STI/ P1 and get a knocklink fitted if you haven't got one already. Also ensure your car's topped up with oil and generally in good order.

How did you get on today Andrew???

Mods - before the Tek 3 I had a decat exhaust, uprated fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator and a green panel filter - that's pretty much it I think.

I had a blast with what appeared to be a 996 turbo today and I was amazed that it couldn't get past me - he was really going for it aswell. It may have been a turbo lookalike (as it had the air vents behind the doors)

Smile

I second your WOW!!! mate. It`s like day one of Scooby ownership all over again. Permanent smile from ear to ear!!!

The car has a new lease of life.
I also noticed that staying under a ton on the way back was hard work.... high probability of me losing my licence is the only down side to this re-map.
(Oh and not forgetting how bloody hot it was on the day!!!)

Thankyou Terry for organising this and thankyou Bob for your excellent work.

All the best to everyone else involved in this group buy, you`ll love it.

Cheers
Andrew

Big thanks to Terry & Bob!!!

WOW - what a difference! Feels like bags more power/torque much more drivable. I fully endorse what others have said before "Get it done, you'll NOT be disapointed"

Thanks again to Bob,Branko & TerryB.

(PS - Sorry I was so pathetic at holding boost for ya Bob )

All sounds very positive. I am thinking of getting it done on mine.

Is anyone interested in starting a new group buy for that?

Had my remap done last Saturday so i must say a big thank you to Bob & Branko, only managed to give the car a good drive yesterday and i must say the car pulls like a train, driving along at 70mph in 5th and floor it and the car just takes off, the turbo comes in quicker & harder and when you floor it in any gear and it's big smile time, i also had a decat up-pipe & down-pipe done before so this properly helped aswell, so if anyone is thinking about getting this done i would just do it
