Saw on another thread that it was mapped for 95RON has this been redone since it left me.

I mapped it myself to 335BHP (recorded on Surrey Rolling Road) and ran the Apexi for about 5 years, gradually pushing it upto 335BHP over the years (i removed the wideband lambda from where the autometer is now, so I can openSource map the Hawk STi I replaced it with).

I always mapped on Esso SUL as garage was just up the road and it seemed consistent. It then allowed me to use 97RON but tried to use V-power or Tesco 99 for that extra safety margin.

Mark said after the rebuild it was mapped for 95 ron incase he ever got caught out, they mapped it fuel wise slightly rich at the top end for safety hense it only reached 330bhp, i have run it so far on Shell V power as there is a station just down the road from me. Is it worth getting it remapped now its on 97 RON not after big horsepower figures just want the motor to run safe. Its still running the apex controller but im a bit green to it all and im not sure how it all works so have left it alone at the mo, untill i do some research into it, maybe u could assist?

Any help you need on the Apexi, give us a shout.
I had it running approx 11.2AFR on the wideband out on the road, but this always read a touch richer on the rollers.
Is the FPR still running 3.2bar ??
