TEK3 me up
I can't keep how pleased I am to myself, so apologies for wey-heying on this BBS. Saw Pat today, arranged via xtreme scoobies group buy for a TEK3 map. I have to say I wasn't sure what to expect, as all I really knew about the mapping was that Pat was supposed to be v good.
And he was. Very knowledgeable on a wide range of technical goodies, including, obviously, scooby ECUs. After razzing up and down the A130 a few times, and keeping to the speed limit, obviously
, Pat uploaded a new map, and off we went again. Couple more stops for a few more tweaks, a bit more caning it (although WOT in 4th from 3000-6500 rpm was not that straightforward ), and we're done.
And what a difference. Much, much better pickup, smoother through the 3-4K rev range which was always a bit lumpy, and a really obvious increase in umph all the way to the redline. And I now have safe 1.25 bar boost.
So, thanks Knowlsey, thanks Pat, and to the rest of you that are umming and aaring about whether to have a remap, go for it!
Right, rant over!

Hmmm,reminds me of the time I had my car remapped by the above top people
.
Yes, going for a top speed run in 4th gear took a few times up and down the road,Pat must be insured to the hilt,as he seems to have a habit of saying"keep it there for a second",Oh the difference of looking at a laptop,instead of looking at the rear of a car rapidly approaching at "fill your pant's" speed,and then thinking "Is the dreaded Subaru brake fade really that bad?".
I'm still enjoying the buzz from the remap and exhaust change a year after!
