Due to have a fair bit fo work done soon on the car..
FMIC, bigger Turbo, Uprated fuel pump and reg', Massive induction kit(LP)
The work is being done approx 100 miles from home (York area) via some extremely nice chaps to whom I will be very grateful and repay in beer and curry, I then have to drive back home, (notts) and then drive down southend area to get the mapping done.

Any thoughts on driving the car in that transit time? -York>home>southend .
Bearing in mind there will be a sh1tload more airflow etc without a remap until I get to southend..

I thought about blagging the AA to relay me down to the home/mapper so to avoid risking any problems with the car...

any thoughts?

drive off boost, light throttle and keep an eye on the knock link.

Also raise the fuel pressure perhaps??

Apparently you can effectively disable the turbo by disconnecting the actuator. Might be worth considering if you're going to drive the car. However if the cost isn't prohibitive, I'd rather have the car relayed, if I was in your situation.

chrome

thanks chaps.

fatman- might look into that.. depends on if I can blag the AA

any other easy alternatives that I can bodge to get the relay?- the more I think about it the less I want to drive it unmapped..

*then fix when I am at home easily and quickly* ?

Just mention the word "Brakes" and they won't even look at it just stick it straight on the back of a truck.

Fatman

What would it cost to have them move the car, if not done under some 'relay' pretext? Is it actually too dear?

chrome

tbh fatman I darent ask..

might be a bit too convenient if I phone up a month before asking about it..

I know for a private recovery firm (when my cambelt jumped some teeth )it's somewhere around 150 and that was for only for 70 miles..

maybe I should get in touch?

Fatman

Might it be cheaper to pay the mapper to come to you?

I use beamish transport and they should move it for £120.00 inc VAT. As long as the delivery day is flexible as they will have to plan it onto a full load.
