The car just feels more alive now, like it should have done from the factory. It pulls far harder in the gears but doesn't feel like it wants to pounce all the time when driving normally.
My mpg has improved too. On a long run the other day (with a bit of fun involved too) on some good roads up north I got an extra 10 mpg and I'm getting an extra 5 - 7 mpg through the town. Obviously if you are nailing it everywhere you are down on mpg a fair bit, but thats understandable. Although the remap wasn't cheap, £500 + vat, it will eventually pay itself off. But who cares if it doesn't! I was going to go for the SPS at an additional £150 + vat but the guy at the garage was out of stock. To be honest, you don't really need one of these because the car only behaves like its mapped when you want it to. It would be handy though for putting the car back to standard if going into the dealer etc.
I asked about the 5 hour trial and was told it was no longer available. I don't know if the garage didn't want to give me it or if this is true. He did mention that it wasn't very good for the car's ecu. It also doesn't give you the full remap feeling, only a percentage of it.
Its been a week now and apparently the ecu can take 2 weeks to re-learn your driving style. I wonder if it gets better??
