Does this consist of a proper remap or is it still just a bleed valve & a Fancy Fuel Cut defender, Than Thankyou very much have £500 of my hard earned !!!!

Personally, I would be tempted to go for an Ecutek remap with Bob rawle, AndyF Etc.
Maybe worth checking out cost comparisons Etc.

Avoid both the Superchip and Well lane! The Superchip is a crude bleed valve and fuel cut defencer as Dean says. It makes no concession for ignition and air to fuel ratio. It is marketed as a mapped chip but is nothing of the sort. As for Well Lane the less said the better!

Scoobyclinic have done good for me in the remaping department. Have also used Bob Rawle
Often a group buy for remaps on the go, so have a look in the groupbuy section

Mapping what though? Unless this geezer does Tek or Apexi, the thread starter probably won't have much use for him. As it appears he is unknown around SN, i suspect he won't get much business over Pat, Andy or Bob. This isn't a reflection of his ability - it's just life

I ain't getting you wrong - Pat is not a Scoobyclinic employee. Scoobyclinic is just one of the the places he maps. This thread is still about mapping, and i still don't know your mapper??????
