Is it worth me remapping this at linden cars or zen dont matter they think they should get 280-290 bhp is it worth the £500 for it or does it make a big differance can anybody let me know how much quicker it will be it has a full decat system at the mo a green panel filter 18 psi and blitz dump valve so all i need is this expensive ecotek chip.lot of money for 40-50 bhp or not.Cheers all

It will run quicker and more efficiently with a remap. Should of had it done after the previous mods tbh.
£100 for every 10bhp sounds good value to me

It's not just 50 bhp it will make your car run loads better up the torque better fuel economy smoother power delivery and so on. I have similar mods but will def have mine mapped regardless of cost. Chuck a fuel pump on too.

Get the brakes done first, some nice stoppers make a whole lot of difference

Well as long as your reg doesnt start W829 you can get it remapped, ecutek, but your looking at about 270bhp top end and you will need the brakes upgrading if you actually want to stop

Mine was dyno'd at 250bhp without having been mapped with just an exhuast and uprated induction etc. Mine was a 98 UK Turbo so couldn't be mapped. The only solution was to have another ECU fitted and mapped.

I paid £930 to have it fitted and mapped, and in my opinion it was worth every penny.I still had the standard TD04 turbo so I'd reckon it would be running around 270bhp after mapping. That is only 20bhp difference of a peak, but it's not all about peak figures...the difference was day and night. It was a much quicker road car afterwards.

hes good you could look into getting apexi or something but all comes at a price just drop he a email and ask what he thinks your car is capable of.
