As I posted on .... another forum .... I best do it here too!
I have had the ECU remapped by Daron at TMC a few months ago so here is a report after a few months actual use.
The process is simple - unbolt - post - wait, drink coffee, stare at immobile car for a few days, clean it several times - postman - fit. Simple.
I was running a Bluespark box but this just exacerbated the Euro 6 map which I didn't like, although the power increase was nice. The remap is superb, a huge smooth linear delivery of torque right where you need it and the fuelling is better too. Not only is it far more powerful but more economical too.
There can be a lot of willy waving on bhp figures but in the real world torque is where it's at. After install I ran it on the local rolling road of an independent tuning company, in their words their kit does not over inflate owners egos! The operator said "If I had written that map I would be proud of that."
Standard car (tested) 160 bhp, 230 Nm of torque (170 ft/lbs)
TMC remap (tested) 170 bhp, 296 Nm of torque (217 ft/lbs)
Graph attached. We also tested it with the sport button 'off' and it just flattens the torque curve a bit but the bhp is the same.
The IHI turbo IMO will not give 180 bhp without further modifications. Am i disappointed it only gave 170 bhp? Not in the least as my insurance company bases its increase in premium on bhp figures....thankfully not the torque figure!
Thanks Daron.....I'm still happy and you said I would be!
