On almost every car I have owned,turbo Ive had mail ecu re map.
Mappers will have a safe stage 1-2-3-4 and work off that should the buyer require any thing different,to tell me every ecu map is different is bollox,if you have the same car as me completely stanard but your ecu is 250bhp and mine is 200bhp,why is it,with no engine mods,your ecu wont work in mine??

Obviously OP will nee a map on a dyno to get max performance but im pretty sure theres a standard stage 3 at 320 bhp that he could use as his replaced the major parts..

You know what I honestly think? alot of traders/mappers are taking the mick,never in my life have I payed over £100 for a map an thats been on cars completely standard an fully tune..

You can run live if you have the laptop recorfing and sen your logs to mapper,he can tweek,email file to you and you re flash your ecu with the new file..

It really is cake,If I were you I really start stuying ecu,Id say that for any one who has to spen more then £200 on any map on any car as you could buy a old laptop,canbus or what not and make your own software..

I just cant believe scoobys are still getting milked,even the ol ones like mine were talking 500 for ecu an 250 every map change,seriously las were getting mugged off,here go on volvo,saab,skyline,vauxhall forums an ask how much you can get a re map for threw post..

Heres a example, I run also a saab 9-3t lpt se 170 ish bhp,I can have that put on any stage 1-2-3-4? ecu sent and mapped up to 700bhp for £50 which includes the boost control solenoid,obviously I nee bigger turbo and clutch with injectors,I think if I spent 800 on my saab I coul havee 450 bhp no probs,but to get that out my scooby I have to spen tripple what the cars even worth,what 2-3k?? for 350 bhp?

Good luck what ever you lot do but I tell you this,mappers have a standard map they will tweek to your wants and they do have a standard stage what ever for you,but they want serious money,yea Id travel to for a grand a day driving some one else is car..

Been really stressed on this forum on how much of a big deal people think re mapping is and its very easy to do,if you can power the ecu out of the car,get can bus or some thing wire to copy the ecu,then you mess with the right power sections and change the right ones a bit at a time..

I know there may be some thing on the scooby that may not let it be this easy but I dont care,500 ecutek the 250 for every map??

I think if you have ecutek,you can map it your self,,Il get a few of my oler mappers to take a look as they map to stop dealers/manufacturers andd laws controlling what we can and cant do with our cars an not for our MONEY
