Remap cost with new VAT?
 
Am I right in saying that a remap will now cost £500+15% VAT=£575?

Also, does it cost extra to have the 'fake' anti lag mapped in?

Mrchips 14 January 2009 08:55 PM

I dont think they charge for the fake anti lag as its just over fun, ha

Ianm1983 14 January 2009 10:04 PM

Correct! I'm not bothered if I get it or not. Its more of a "if its going for nothing, then I'll take it" thing.

Also, are the remaps now £575 all in?

escott 14 January 2009 10:41 PM

JGM charged me the correct VAT (15%) when I had mine done.

wiley 14 January 2009 11:30 PM

Jolly Green Monster 15 January 2009 02:57 AM

anything you buy now you should only be charged 15% vat.. as from 1st december..

coopyrob 15 January 2009 08:37 AM

Iv heard you get more mpg when driven slowly is this correct,what will a repap give me extra bhp,iv got an STI prodrive with approx 305 hp doing around 21 mpg,i like the sound of the fake anti lag,how does it work? cheers!

wolfie28 15 January 2009 11:22 AM

Should be charged at 15% VAT but it seems that alot for companies recently have put their prices up so the drop in VAT has been totally wiped out :(. In fact I've been looking for some parts for my Scooby and the prices are more expensive now than they were before the VAT reduction :mad: :razz:

Mrchips 15 January 2009 11:27 AM

Fake anti lag is the pops and bangs. Its just for show, not for blow. if you know what i mean

yes you should get more mpg, more throttle response, usually 330 to 340bhp and similar torque depeding on if vf35 or vf34 car and exhaust mods fitted if any.

pops and bangs on overrun.. sounds nice but nothing else.

Simon do the pops and bangs have any negative side? More fuel, less power, not good for the engine etc.

McWRX 15 January 2009 12:06 PM

Mine used a lot more fuel but miss the sound :( Approx 40 miles less on a tank.

Jolly Green Monster 15 January 2009 02:25 PM

I think it just needed re-visiting with your laptop again as it was holding the revs too :)

Hopefully when your passing again on the M1 up to scoobyworld I can grab your expertise :thumb: :)

By god was it good fun having the odd flame out the back :norty:

Ianm1983 15 January 2009 03:26 PM

I thought the ecutek remaps were 550 anyway not 500?

bout 630 quidish or as near as makes no difference

Im wating one as soon as my bank gets over all the fuel im buying now lol, fake anti lag will defos be on the menu.

weeebell 15 January 2009 05:08 PM

I'm positive AndF quoted me £500+VAT in his email?:wonder:

wiley 15 January 2009 05:35 PM

should be around £600 -650 for your first ecutek remap

scoobeenut 15 January 2009 07:56 PM

Am I right in thinking that you need a decat to achieve the pops and bangs on overun? or could this be mapped in on a car with a sports cat fitted?

Thanks, been trying to decide where to start tuning wise and it seems that for really decent power gains decat is the way forward.
