ReDBull:
So yesterday didn't quite go to plan! It looks like in the past my car has had some form of APR/REVO map on it. Niki fought it was likely a demo map. Unfortunately that meant that Niki was locked out of the ECU and unable to upload his map. He's worked out how to get around the issue but it meant that I had to leave my car with him and go home in a loaner.
So hopefully I should have it back and fully mapped today. I also had a chat about K04's and K04 hybrids......
Brain surgery in progress!!!

These things happen someitmes. Im 70% sure my car has a map on it so was thinking of getting dynoed to find out.
Im going k04 at the moment. what did niki say about mapping them as I have the same engine as you.
I bet you cant wait for that phone call to pick her up

The age our cars are at most will have some sort of history. So much for the one lady owner history!!!!
He said he's done a couple and they respond well. He's got 3 more booked in including a hybrid. Apparently the injectors are the limiting factor as they max out around 380bhp. Also that with his linear maps wheel spin isn't as big an issue as you'd think.
He's managed to recover the ECU and put a standard a standard map back on. This morning Niki's looking into some issues I've had with the DSG. Then hopefully he'll have time to look into the engine map. I don't need the my car back until mid next week and I've told Niki no rush.

Here's the graph
I'm over the moon with how it drives. Niki has sorted out the issues I've had with the DSG. He also spent time intergrateing the DSG with the throttle. The throttle response is nice and linear and given the hike in power and torque. Traction is much the same as with the standard map. For tiny little turbo it certainly shifts now!!!
The service I have experience from the R Tech team is spot on. I couldn't or wouldn't expect any more from them. And I'm a bloody fussy bugger with who works on my car. That also goes for Alex at AKS as well

The kids had a great time as well!!!
