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

grumpy:
Hi mate,

Chuffed for you, looking forward to hearing results. Bet you can't sleep at night lol.

Thanks.

Andy:

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:
