bonnet up on the dyno, o dear :( go elsewhere

there only about £80 new arnt they?

Bad reviews of teins tend to be about them being too hard from what i saw, need to make sure you buy for the right application. Lower you go the more back breaking hard they will be

hahaha, would be better than some mappers out there lol

Issues will pop up, how they act to sort it out or fob you off is the important bit for that, there is also how often? once in 50 maps, or every other map? Time is what it is, however when there are thousands of settings, it's not a 5 minute job to go in a change them hence why 20 mins isn't enough to map a car. Given that in this context we are talking about road cars then getting every single BHP out of it can push it beyond the level of safety aka reliability. This is what is important in my eyes, when you see mappers consistently getting higher figures than other then ask yourself why? There is also working practice, a car mapped on a dyno can sometimes have det on the road. If a mapper isn't road testing after a map that is pure bad practice, none of the well regarded mappers would dare not do this part. Fault finding, if a car isn't taking timing, or more boost, or is detting, or missing why is that? can the mapper figure out the issue to allow it to be put right, or will they just bodge round it? Tech support, what backup does a mapper have? Sensors are known to be pretty limited in their reliability, so does the mapper have spares available or are you left paying a bill and not getting what you pay for because of a fault? Final one is blatant dodgy results. Dyno outputs are very easy to manipulate, i've seen a 1.6 none turbo make 350 bhp (was done as a joke at a RR day), they are also fairly easy to pick up, when you see a mapper constantly having questionable graphs its another concern as to what he/she is trying to hide. Or do they simply not have the knowledge to understand the problem, which is a major concern as well.

Depends if you wanna loose your sump or not ;) Tein are good, just make sure you get the right spring rates etc dont want them too hard?

importcarparts do them?

KYB AGX and eibach lowering springs are a good combo. To answer an earlier question pedders don't do a kit for wagons yet.

Only seem to mention diesels on there website, nothing comes up on SN on them either. They doing full custom maps or just flash maps?

I did, lasted 9 months then had to be replaced. For the price of them just buy new.

£250 map? good luck with that lol

Biggest issue is people claim a mapper is good despite them having poor practices, let alone lacking in tech knowledge or any morals to put things right when they go wrong, which every mapper/tuner/garage have from time to time no mater who they are.

define the best? lol

aye, never look a gift horse in the mouth.

After going through the pile of receipts that came with the car it turns out it has a PPP fitted. Explains why it felt like it had a bit more grunt than the other one we road tested.

See i knew so much i bought 3 of them, well 2 and the mrs bought 1 hahaha

Cheers chaps

So it's arrived, and then there were 3 hahaha

Syvecs ecu, not the cheapest but by far the best. Haha I tried getting rid and got an m3 instead. Nice car seriously dull by comparison

Track use is a very different animal to road use, but if only occasional track then I'd go 2.5 myself. Standard block is find up to about 450and with the right supporting mods will be fine for odd tracks days. R3ason for the2.5 is it makes a great road engine, loads of low down grunt. I have acl race bearings, make piston, Manley rods. Superteck valve kit in version 5 heads and a gt2871r billet turbo. Plus whole heap supporting mods like front mount and 6 speed box. Currently run ing 398bhp and 465ftlb bit eventual target is 500bhp +
