Title: R-tech stage 1 map 244bhp 325lbs/ft
Post by: Jeffchiz on January 29, 2015, 06:18:29 pm
I got my car mapped today at r-tech, very pleased! By far the cheapest place at £290 and that is with the car mapped on a rolling road (not just road tested after the map is loaded like most places), so they also include before and after figures with a graph (again some places charge extra for this, even if they have a dyno) and lastly which I really wasn't expecting was that I had 5 maps loaded on to the car which i can change by using the pedals and the ignition, very cool and geeky! Which is ideal if the clutch starts to slip I can knock it down in power and torque.

She made 196bhp and 220ft/lbs standard and then 244bhp and 325ft/lbs after, so almost 50bhp more (25% more power).

^^^Did you change or replace anything prior to the remap ie Diverter Valve?

Fantastic curves  :drool:

£290 is a bargain for 5 maps, with each one being unique to your car  :happy2:

Must have a strong mid-range?

Do you think it is worth having the 5 maps installed? I don't know about anybody else but I just control how much power I use with my right foot?

It's great for people who worry about clutch slip with OEM clutches, or want a 95RON map, or don't trust the Mrs with Powerrrer  :signLOL:
