Ahhh those pre-R-Tech nerves  :grin:

If you've checked all the usual stuff, it should run just fine.

Check oil & tyre pressures and make sure there's plenty of V-Power in the tank  :happy2:

Ask for Linear throttle map too, it's epic

Have you had much chance to speak to Niki before going?

Am I missing why I should be nervous about getting it mapped here?  :ashamed: :confused:

Me, and my mate (and probably the OP) got nervous in case there is an underlying fault which means Niki can't map it. As yours has been tuned before you know it works fine with extra boooooost  :evilgrin:

As long as you replaced PCV, DV and cam follower, running on 99 (2 tanks at least) and no boost leaks you'll be fine..

New DV for prior to mapping?, having a spare new one in the glove box suffice?  So not just replacing it for the sake of it (like my usual manner lol). 

Niki is quite active on Facebook but telephone wise it seems hard to get the time to discuss mapping options and prerequisites.

when i booked in (and subsequently was late) he said i need to make sure it was running right with pcv, dv etc. already had been done in my case though.
