No it's free. States it in the delivery section on the listing.

To be honest I couldn't read much of the listing as it's a complete mess...... using firefox, don't know if that makes a difference!

Did you notice a decrease in mpg? I understand that it will decrease a bit but some people are saying it decreased by almost 10mpg  :stupid:

Funnily enough, yeah when I boot it it drops quite a bit on the mfd, also takes a while to get up to a decent figure say 30 mpg when driving really steady. This is only going off the mfd would need to do a brim to empty to get a proper reader, but normally the mfd is quite accurate.
I need get it on the rollers, get it tuned properly. Going book in at r-tech at some point.

I too am experiencing a drop in mpg of about 10 mpg. Currently driving like Miss Daisy to see if that helps improve things. I read somewhere that it takes a few 100 miles for the ecu to adjust to a decat, not sure if that is correct though.

Car has a stage 1 rtech map, then decat we added 18 months later. Any ideas why the mpg has deteriorated?

Thanks

MPG has gone downhill because the car thinks there is an issue with the lambda sensor. I think you may need a map tweek as its expecting the flow rate of the standard downpipe and not the increase flow of a 3inch downpipe.

Just an excuse to go stage 2 now :driver:
