Default Took my car in for a remap today!

To say it didn't go according to plan is an understatement.

Turns out my 163bhp A4 diesel was actually pushing out 110bhp

Quick repair to a leaky boost pipe and I got an extra 50 horses and 100 ft/lb of torque for £97!

Still considering the remap now though

Well at least you got it back to normal power !
Hoe come they could not do the remap after you had got it repaired - no time ?
What remap are you going for Revo ?
