thanks

virgin

power engineering

cost around 680 to 720 ,dependent on how much u sweet talk them

Br developments , cost 750 , better mapper , but the bottom line is bloke for Br developments cracked the ecu re-map code first,in the UK but used to work for powerenginnering or something like that anyway ,but the point being there the best mappers in the UK that are nearest or even point blank

BR Developments map on the road
Power enginnering map on the ramp,

Personnelly map on the road would be better (real driving conditions)

Had mine done on the ramp, they did a great job,but i cant stop thinking they just used the settings from a scoob earlier that they had with the same mods, plus the car seemed to be left to cool down alot rather than lots of button pushing on a laptop in my drivers seat.

Go Br developments, aparently there better,there always booked up, and it looks like you get yours moneys worth.

good luck m8

i was at power engineering on tuesday asking about remaps, they said they wouldn't touch my sti 5 for fear of it being too 'fragile' an engine


might try BR developments

BR Developments have an excellent reputation, and I believe that they work out of Swindon, which is somewhat closer to you than Power Engineering.

Speak to Bob or Branko at B R Developments, getting my car done there this March. A mate and fellow scoobynetter who has the same car as you and I, has just had his done there and is still grinning.

speak to branko he`s friendly, bobs not nice but knows more than anyone

Bob mapped my STi V (so far the non fragile engine model!) last year and It recently produced 307bhp and 310 lbft on Prosports rollers. A nicer and more knowledgable bloke you couldn't hope to meet. Branko can sometimes wind people up the wrong way (doesn't suffer fools gladly) but he's a top bloke when you meet him. He drove my car while Bob carried out the re-mapping. Me and my mate sat in the back - I didn't have my eyes closed all the time. It's an interesting experience - 7000 rpm in 4th on the Swindon dual carriageways in Saturday afternoon traffic ;-)

I would also recommend BRD, not so sure on the above comments though, he doesnt bite!!, i think you will find bobs is a gentleman, Branko is, shall we say very efficient

Greeno

Would this be benificial on a 93wrx import...

I thought supply and map would be around the £1500 mark, i could be tempted for the £700 mark...

Cheers,

John.

TEK3 is only avail for MY99 onwards

Fatman

Greeno - perhaps you were thinking of the Link ECU? I believe that Bob's also got a good reputation for Link mapping. Best to ask BRD what's available for your model of car. Or, just post a thread asking that question in the General Technical forum.

Gothinducky - What Ecu did you have with those results or did you acheive those results from a Tek 3?

Bob rawle of BRD Developments gets my vote

Std ECU with TEK3 upgrade. My car also has a scoobysport downpipe and backbox, but that's it.

The Link ecu is a new Ecu in replace of the standard one and then mapped to your car, the Tek 3 is a Re-map of your existing Ecu.

salsa-king

oh.. so Tec3.. could keep your warranty?. as no one would know you'v been 'altered'?

Not too sure on that, they could proberly tell from the boost being increased.

simb

Andy McCord

AFAIK TEK3 undetectable with select, but as simb quite rightly points out boost level is a giveaway, Nick, interesting choice of usernames mate, must find out what it means

salsa-king

so are Tec 3 selectable as ON or OFF?
is it an option if you have Tec 3 fitted

No phil, its not switchable, just full on!!!

Heard a rumour that you can switch between original and new TeK maps by fully depressing throttle and toggling the rear screen heater.

Midlife....

What amazes me is that some people must think they can turn off the mega-map so the car runs as though it's never been touched and then go into a dealers with a drainpipe exhaust on you can hear for miles, a full decat and countless knows whatever other tweaks and claim it's "standard"...

milo

i suspect that in the event of a warranty claim needed, they'd also replace the exhaust (and anything else) back to standard too.

not that id condone that of course...

Apple.. you mean you can't? lol
