I would suggest getting that on a proper rolling road and get a full print out of true bhp / lb ft torque/ afr /and boost plot.

I think your graph is wrong, as it def doesn't make 350+ lb/ft

So on a Mk1 Octy vRS you reckon its giving nearly 350 lb ft torque with just a £100 remap ??????....It just cannot do this.

Again, get it on a proper RR and see the true amounts.

Where did you get the remap from????

I think he must mean NM which would put it @ 260lb/ft which is possible.

This remap was from ecuevolution, newport
it was a postal remap £107 quid including p+p

For this money i aint gunna complain!

RR would give correct values i know, but to be honnest, its very quick and thats all that matters to me! besides there isn't one for miles where i live.

Vag com reports these values.

I had mine remapped recently by a well known tuning company.
When they downloaded my current map, they found that it had already been "remapped" but badly. Injection & boost pressure had been modified, but that was it. A lot more parameters have to be modified for it to be done correctly.
The guy said it was proberly a cheap map from ebay & I would see a difference when his map is uploaded.

Needless to say, he was right & the difference between the two are worlds apart.

I'm not saying that all cheap remaps are like this, but I would be very wary of them.

Not sure what map is contained but what i can tell you is they never opend the ECU, it was done on the bench and programmed via its connection port that the wiring harness inserts into.

No fault codes and ive been driving in hard and normal conditions for 3 days!

I think they only offer a postal service, so even if you live close you would have to send your ecu away. I think its alot more expensive if you take the car to em.

Maybe so,
Facts are im producing alot more torque and hp than i was, and it cost me nawt when compared to some of the prices offered.
Boost pressure spikes at roughly 20psi and holds at 14-15psi (roughly)

don't forget we're talking a 100quid here, i wouldn't expect it to be better than something 3 times the price... but still, not bad for the dough!
