They are only a small unit, so with one being off it causes havoc.

Years ago, they couldn't answer the phone when the Dyno was running (80% of the time). Be patient and try again tomorrow. That little guy will likely be back  :signLOL:

To answer your other question - I'm having a 7R  :jumpmove:

well I don't suppose he will be able to fit me in for tomorrow. Would of liked it to be done before Friday cause that's when I will be travelling to Amsterdam  :laugh: called Shark and Revo both said I can take it in tomorrow. But if R-tech asks me to bring it in tomorrow will go for that otherwise just get it done at Revo.

Slim to no chance at this time of year with R-Tech. They were saying they are full for the next few weeks.

Your best bet is to email them, as it's takes a minute to email back when they have a free second. They might even have a cancelled slot they can squeeze you into.

Personally i waited till they could fit me in, rather than getting another map on it.
There is no replacement for displacement....
But a turbo does help....

OK I have just sent them a email. How long did you have to wait few weeks sounds like a lot.

I sent the email on the 17th March, and they managed to fit me in (i think from a cancel) 26th, but it was a rebook, as i had booked before Christmas but had a coolant leak a few days before and couldn't get it fixed till after my remap date.

So just spoke to Ben and he booked me in for 16th April didn't want to wait too long but after the reviews I think it's going to be worth the wait. Thanks guys!

More than worth the wait.

If my car hadn't already had Revo software on it when i bought it, it would have been mapped by Niki long ago. It probably will be at some point within the next 12 months when i have the spare cash/time to sack the Revo off and get the car up to them

So guys it's now been 5 days since I got the remap at R Tech and I've covered 500 miles in the 5 days cant get enough  :laugh: first day when I got it remapped I could tell a huge difference so much quicker more power quicker response, However yesterday something very weird happened and it just got a whole lot more aggressive it just feels like someone took it to stage 2 while I was in bed and it's just gone crazy  :scared: but love it even more now.

On the day of stage 1 my readouts were:
stock bhp: 206.8bhp @ 5519rpm
stage1 bhp: 244.6bhp @ 5833rpm
stock torque: 224.23 @ 2848rpm
stage1 torque: 326.52 @ 3113rpm

Next step for me is a pre cat delete anyone know a garage in London that can do this for me?

Any garage that has a understanding of cars could do it. Tho that said u might want to show them what needs to be smashed out...
Mine fell out when they were changing a violent pipe to the turbo, so it was off already for clearance.

I've called a few places that are local in London and they all say we wont remove it. What do I do?

Hmmm.
My place did hesitate a bit to do it. When i turned up i spoke to the guy working on my car, showed him the pre cat and told him that it's not required for UK MOT tests. I even said to him give me the pipe once it is off and i'll do it! at that point he agreed to do it.

I'm afraid i don't have to tools to do this, thankfully i worked in a garage for 10 years so i can drop a few names and they tend to bend... LOL

It's quite easy to do get the car in the air via ramp or jacks then undo the 4 turbo bolts I found the top one to be done best from top and the rest underneath then undo both lambda sensors precat and normal cat then undo the bracket stopping the exhaust from coming down then gently manoeuvre it out place it on the floor then let the smashing begin then reverse all previous steps  :happy2:
