--- Quote from: PDT on June 01, 2012, 06:47:48 pm ---But on a serious note, make a shortlist of tuners, visit their premises and speak to them. You will quickly work out based on 1st impressions who is really clued up and who is just a reseller of files (i.e can read and write software from/to your ecu and emails it off to *insert random file supplier here* )

Your remap should ideally include:

Discussion regarding fuel type used etc...
Dyno testing and/or live datalogging at the very least
Visual and OBD diagnostic inspection

The sad and worrying fact is that we are seeing more and more cars arrive at our premises with problems caused by cheap software, lack of attention and interest by the tuner, poor aftersales service from the tuner as they can only remap a car by flashing files to it and not actually understand the inner workings and science behind what they are doing.

There are plenty of clued up tuners out there with the correct tools and equipment to do a good job, you just have to fight your way through the sea of bulls**t to find them.

Another vote for PDT from me, my car goes there as it's only 15 miles away.

There is however one issue I have found since getting remapped is how much money I have subsequently spent on further mods.

To paraphrase the old Hot Chocolate song.."It Started with a Map", so beware of PDT...that's what i say.



By way of a further endorsement by 62 year old Father in law had his 'Pensioner Beige' Honda Civic Turbo Diesel mapped by Dave, it's now got 180 brake and chunky torque and still looks boggo standard/boring. It's quite stealthy actually, and he loves surprising Type R's with it..
