first of all hi guys this is my first thread,
i have a my00 scoob with 35000 on the clock it has been fully decatted with a
s/s mongoose,a pipercross induction kit and a baily dumpvalve.
ive owned the car for 2 years now and im wanting it faster ive popped down
to graham goodes and they are saying remap the ecu and leave it at that
only i was after abit more than that or do the engines become unreliable with any more power(on the my00) any sugestions appreciated

 

Get it remapped you will be surprised at the difference it makes.

 

A remap would liberate the power lurking in the decat! The induction kit and dump valve are probably of more dubious benefit power wise. IIRC A decat MY00 with a good ECU remap should see 260-280 bhp and similar torque without compromise to reliability. Beyond that, you'll need to start thinking about upgrading the turbo etc... Speak to a mapper on here for the best advice though!

thanx guys can you recomend anyone for the remap,and yes i was thinking more along the lines of a turbo GG are asking 799+vat is this a bit steep?

 

I got mine done by Andy Forrest but he is up in scotland although he does travel.
What a difference it made to my car and i only had mods similar to what you have on yours.

 

I think going rate for a 1st Ecutek map of your existing ECU including the licence (which accounts for much of the cost) is about 650+ vat. However, are GG offering a new ECU e.g. Apexi + mapping if so that figure might be about right.

There are several mappers that post on here, all very highly regarded, some work for various companies, so you should ask whatever company you're thinking of taking the car to who they use. The one's that get the most mentions are (in no particular order):

Andy Forrest
Richard Bulmer
Bob Rawle
Pat Hereborne
Steve Simpson
Simon don't recall his surname (he maps for Zen performance)

Good luck.
