hi mate ..

if you dont mind me asking what sort of price was it ..
you can pm me if you like

cheers phil

gallois

don't mind posting at all, £550 plus vat for the map, but that includes the initial licence, so any future maps will be a couple of hundred cheaper, also had a 10k service done at the same time so came to about 860ish all together.

JimmyBFC

so whats it running now? 285?

Im struggling to see...lol...fukin eyes need testing again

Im thinking of the same, full exhaust systema nd re-map, would hope for something similar tbh.

gallois

yeh sorry the pic aint too clever... 285.7bhp at 5140rpm and 436.1nm (322ft-lbs) at 3895rpm....

JimmyBFC

massive difference in power then I take it mate?

gallois

yes a BIG difference, i think i'm addicted now, already thinking about a turbo swap to widen the torque toward the redline.

That seems quite pricey to me. I've had a couple of (quite extensive) remaps by Paul (Zen Performance), one of which was £150 and one at £125.

With respect LunarT

Sounds like your Ecutek license was paid up front, or you are into custom ecu's which aint fair.... as "we" can't afford them..... yet !

Yes, that sounds like map tweak fees if it is Ecutek. The initial map is usually around £550 plus due to the high license fee.

Powerstation did mine. They are very good at what they do.

No, I refer only to Ecutek - first full mapping session plus Ecutek licence fee was indeed around £550 (with AndyF). However, I was actually querying the cost of subesquent remaps. My last remap from Paul at Zen involved 3 hours of work and it cost me the princely sum of £125

Bob_r how many miles have you done since the remap? Is the car reliable?
I am thinking about it but will the dealer be able to tell it's had a remap if they plug in the diagnostic tool? Don't want to void the warranty...

mgcvk

The remap won't show up on a diagnostic.

fpan

iTrader: (11)

Doesn't the software/firmware version show up when plugging in the diagnostic though? I would be surprised if it didn't!
Is that the case with PPP as well?

mgcvk

I don't believe it does. I had a couple of diagnostics post remap at dealers for a couple of fault codes and it doesn't affect things at all. I'm sure a mapper would put your mind at rest, but I don't believe it is detectable. I have declared the mapping with other mods to my insurer though.

AFAIK, although it doesn't affect faults codes etc.. and the dealer probably won't notice unless they're looking for it, it is detectable to anyone with ECUTEK facilities, it has to be so that a ECUTEK dealer can tell whether the car has a license!

Also a dealer might not mention it, until you want to make a warranty claim!

ricky28

Hey mscvk did declaring the mods to your insurer make much difference to your policy, money wise?

nooobyscoooby

The mechanic who drives your car will spot it just by the way it goes!

mgcvk

Top insurers for mods seem to be Keith Michaels, A-Plan and Greenlight and declaring mods with any of the above shouldn't have much affect on your premium depending on your age I suppose.
