Hope you're either certain it's been properly remapped or are running it on the right petrol (Optimax + the correct amount of a good octane booster), else you could be putting yourself in line for another expensive repair job!

yeah i'm running it on optimax with octaine booster, it was mapped in febuary this year as i have the recipt to prove, but its going to b&d engineering next saturday to be rolling road tuned and remapped, you think 800 for a full decat exhaust with 5 inch tail pipe is expensive then? thats fitted by the way.
