Hi,

Anyone ever regret remapping (or any other improvements) their Scooby?

There are so many people doing this kind of stuff nowadays, it would interesting to hear some stories, if there are any!

 

I doubt there is anyone out who has regretted remapping the car. A remap will provide a bespoke map for your car, allowing it to run as best as possible.

 

More power n torque, better acceleration, driveability improved, better mpg

I think not

 

i bet some people have regretted their choice of mappers

 

I did. It made me realise what I had been missing for ages

 

I agree totally, but there has to be someone who did not like it, or just had a bad time...........

 

Indeed!

 

More than likely mate. You'll always find someone who can never be totally satisfied! I know the only people who will regret a remap are the ones who have had the engine go boom soon afterwards or during the RR session.

 

Ummm.....lol

 

Please name mate, and explain

 

Come again?

 

Naaagh, definatly never had any regrets as out of the 3 times that I've had a remap, even though a bit costly, I have more power. And hopefully more to come.

 

No regrets, in fact going to Powrstation again tomorrow, in spite of the Floods!!

By ferry?

 

I'd be one of those..........
Got it sorted in the end but had both inconvenience and unnecessary costs that I did not need to go through. No engine blow up or anything as serious as that but certainly p@ssed me off at the time. Mapper accepted the mistake which was a good thing I suppose but took it elsewhere to get "fixed"

 

Was it that bad?

 

Your reply to pippyrips post suggested to me that you had regretted your choice of mapper, I then asked if you would name the mapper who you were unhappy with and explain what happened

......maybe I read your post wrong and you have not regretted your choice of mapper? if thats the case then sorry!

Understand?

 

I have not remapped mine (yet) sorry for the mix-up!

 

My fault bro.....just this second relised you started the post in the first place my mistake!

 

LOL No probs!

 

Janspeed,
If you are anywhere in the Midlands/Worcs/Glos/Bristol.

Powerstation are the "Canines Gentilia"

Good Luck.

I won't bore you with the details but in short car was mapped; had poor boost in 5th and 6th gears resulting in CEL. Drove it several hundred miles back to mapper to get sorted. Problem identified and resolved (or so I thought)

Back home boost dipping again and was making poor power on the rollers so graphs forwarded to said mapper who realised he had not flashed the updated map to my ecu so in essence I was driving around with a base map. Far from ideal. Not prepared to take anymore time off or do a further round trip in the car so went elsewhere.

Had I have used the car on a daily basis and driven it hard the consequences could have been quite bad. Fortunately I do neither so no harm done. Mapper apologised and accepted he had made the error so I left it at that. Would have been a nice gesture for some compensation of sorts (petrol money at least) but I'm not bitter or one to let things get out of hand.

CAr was remapped by A N Other and results were perfect so in a strange way "every cloud" and all that!!

 

Two remaps and much improved each time. Why would anyone want a boring standard car when the impreza is safely capable of so much more with just a few tweeks?

 

Good point...........

 

Nope !

 

So it has been plain sailing for (mostly) everyone?

 

I'll tell ya in a couple of years.

 

Have heard good things about them, and the prices seem quite good.

 

Only regret I have was not getting it done sooner.

 

Had mine done several times by different mappers over the years and yes regretted one of them. Went there due to time restraints. And it was awful. The car drove like a pig. Had it re-done by Another and its spot on. Found to be one vital error which meant it was never going to run properly. Infact over some years and different cars,Circumstances have led me to use 6 different mappers. And i can honestly say theres only two I'd use again. Either i wasnt happy with the results of the others or i wasnt happy with the way the mapping was carried out. But then i am really fussy.
