Cheers pal!

Panel filter will help, removing the pre-cat will ensure you hit the magic 300bhp figure

Will do fella. I'm sure the 260 mile round trip will be worth it. Looking forward to the drive back! #massivegrin

Sooooo didn't sleep much last night  :signLOL:

Woke up at 5.00 thinking it was Christmas Day  :jumping:

Got over to R-Tech 30 mins early to miss any chance of traffic. Niki arrived around 9.30 although we spent about an hour chatting   :signLOL:

Onto the numbers:

Stock: 249bhp 263lb/ft

After uploading the base map: 307.3bhp 314lb/ft

Niki played around with it and did another couple of tweaks before we settled with:

314bhp 321lb/ft :jumpmove:

Niki uploaded a linear throttle map and his ASR mapping (traction control map).

On the road it's just fantastic, as I've retained the standard airbox & cat back its barely noiser than stock - but a whole load faster   :laugh:

I wanted smooth, linear power which was usable in a FWD setup, and that is exactly what I've got. Niki said the airbox and the fuel pump are the next restriction if I'm after more power in future.

I can deploy full throttle on a slightly damp road easily in 3rd, and with a bit of spin in second. The traction control mapping is just epic, it just kinda pulses the power in & out rather than cutting it off as stock TC does, meaning there is no need to let off the throttle you can just keep your foot in it :smiley:

I'll post the graph and some pictures up later  :happy2:

Great Stuff, the standard motor wasn't too shabby on the BHP front either.

Amazing you can unload it, in 3rd in the wet :surprised: :happy2:

No it was totally stock map

Yeah standard with Downpipe & Sports cat with Panel filter brought the stock figures up nicely.

It's bang on what I thought it would be  :jumpmove:

I'd like more torque (especially after getting a helix clutch). HPFP needed now.

Niki recommending that everyone fits HPFP now (even stage 1) as you get so so much more mid range.

My turbo is only working at 55%.duty in the mid range as the stock HPFP can't fuel any more power

Michelin Pilot SS's, traction control mapping and 1:1 linear throttle mapping & delivery make it usable even in damp weather.
