:thinking:
Has anyone had any experience of these 'Mobile Re-mapping' companies who come too your house and do 'Re-Maps' ?
seems to be loads popping up.... offering tuning options
thanks in advance

Why chance it when the likes of R-tech are only a little more? Even APR has got a sale on this mont, @£350 iirc.

I had a mobile remap put on my edition 30 when I got it. Seemed to run well enough. I’ve just went APR 2+ and the guy at APR said the cheap map was running very lean low down so it was wasting a lot of fuel. Think they do that as a safety thing.

They are awful, wouldn't have one of it was free. Get something that has been developed properly, not simply thrown an extra 40% on the load maps

I wouldnt use them to remap a matchbox toy.

I think you meant running too rich low down. A lot of cheapo maps are a too rich/too lean/too advanced disasters waiting to happen. They either melt turbine blades from insufficient advance, or blow pistons up from too much. It's just a matter of time.
