Default visiting andy forrest tomorrow

A month after getting my sti 5 wagon from SVA and driving on v power plus octane booster, not going over 3000 revs or 70 mph im headed for AFP for a cheeky wee remap on my sti5 wagon.

Will I sleep tonight? probably not

andy mapped my last uk turbo, made a huge difference, saving to get my new uk turbo mapped as well after just having a full decat fitted. was going to see about setting up a group buy for andy. i see bob rawle is running one just now down south shame he is too far away. last time my ecutek by andy was part of a sidc group buy and was £450 so good saving.

I'll tell you something else, he's a real down to earth guy.
Easy to talk to, happy to tell you (as best he can!) whats happening/what he's doing.

He remapped my old MY05 STI PPP a couple of years ago.

just back!

What a difference. Put a new MAF sensor on and the idle was pretty rough as the ECU learned the new one. Then out for the mapping.

Car just got smoother an faster!

After several runs up an down gears an different throttle positions etc Ive ended up with 334bhp an 312lbs of torque.

Top job cheers andy
