Stage 1 booked for next week!

I've got my edition 30 booked in for Stage 1 at R-Tech next Tuesday. The car is completely stock at the moment, I can't afford any hardware at this time of year but thought the car deserves a bit of Merry Christmas too.

I was considering Revo but it's cheaper to do the 300-mile round trip to R-Tech. Will post some feedback once I've driven home!

On a stock car you should expect around 270bhp with an R-Tech remap on your Edition 30. Realistically you don't need to change any hardware with the stage 1 map. You will defo enjoy it and have lots of fun on your return journey home.

Just remember to top it up with a full tank of Shell V-Power before going to R-Tech. You'll notice the difference - plus Niki won't remap if it's got regular fuel in it.

Just out of curiosity, have you updated the PCV and DV to the latest versions - I had problems with both these post-map. I'd advise to get them done pre-map if you can. Although Niki will check these prior to the map anyway and can get these replaced for you there and then if need be. You just need to factor the cost of these in case they are needed though. Around £80 should do both. Plus R-Tech won't charge you any labour to check/replace these items.

Either way good luck and let us know how you get on.

Get that cat gutted!

my cusons ed30 made 300 bhp and that was totally stock with both cats

but agreed get both cats cut out before you go would defo help with the flow  :happy2:

I don't think I've got the time or money to get the cats out before next week! I'll look into a new exhaust system middle of next year and do it then, plus it means more performance to look forward to in the near future  :smiley:

I've been running it on V-Power for a bit already but I've not updated the PCV and DV myself and I doubt the previous owner did. Cheers for the advice, I'll see if I can sort it before going up.
