so u get more mpg before the remap, every tuner i speak to says ex[ect 10% increase after map and de dpf.




We have remapped literally hundreds of both the 140 and 170 engine, never ever had a customer report a reduction in MPG! Typically an increase of 10-12% is achieved, even higher 15-20% with DPF removal.

I had a 170 gt sport last year, remapped to 198bhp(no dpf removal),get around 45mpg or 450ish miles to a tank
Before the remap I can get around 50ish mpg & 480-490 miles a tank
Hope this helps mate

hi,
was this 'city'/local driving or motorway?...

with my 1.9PD i'm getting ~40mpg local driving and ~55ish if im lucky on the motorway  :confused:

either somethings wrong or the 1.9 just isnt as economical as the 2.0's...

Mine smokes a fair bit but was told before hand to expect it with the map I have. It differs depending on who tunes it.

Smoke isn't that bad, nothing to worry about, again depends who does it
