Turbo 2000 remap.. worth it?
hi
Im thinking about a remap. Currently, I have a turbo 2000 with PPP. Its last dyno showed around 245-250bhp. Not bad.
I do not plan to mod the car really, add a panel filter maybe a better fuel pump and that's about it. I'm more about handling/chassis mods.
So is it worth looking at a remap? Will I see much improvement over the PPP?

A good mapper should be able to increase that to 260-280bhp.
My car had the following mods when I was going to get it mapped:
2 1/2" Hayward + Scott turbo back exhaust, straight through with just the back box.
K+N panel filter.
Did a wee bit of digging about on here for some advice and a few other suggested picking up a different used turbo.
Ended up paying roughly £100 for a converted front entry TD05, had that fitted along with a new fuel pump then had it mapped.
Car is now 335bhp and 320lb/ft torque.
Def worth it esp for the little extra outlay of the TD05 and fitting.

Depends what your plans are. If you want to track the car and on a budget then money would be better spent on decent tyres, suspension and brakes first as they'll show the most improvement to your lap times. Then do the engine mods later.

I tend to agree, will be faster doing this rather than power

X reg so my00?
I'm unsure on a remap, purely because its a fair few hundred quid for what seems to be a 10-30bhp increase and better driveability... which I guess just means better power delivery ? I guess I mean to say it doesn't seem like good "value."

Thats all being done as we speak. Had to do clutch/flywheel first. Brakes being sorted. Got tyres. Suspension i like as it is.. maybe lowering springs. Definitely poly bushing the lot.

It may seem like alot of money for a few minor changes so to speak, but the difference that few bhp makes from a map will totally transform the car, comin on to boost stronger, holding the boost longer, all them little things add up to a big difference, I can remember the first time i went to have a car mapped, what a difference it made, put a massive smile on my face
