I had mine mapped in August last year and i can honestly say its the best £250 i ever ever spent. I went from just over 200bhp with similar torque to 272bhp with 314ft lb torque. So yes in my eyes very much worth the money.

im not a fan of the plug in boxes, yes they do work but i just think a remap done to the ecu is better.
nice to know the car is doing what it thinks its doing rather than being fooled into something else

Yep thats the very motor I fancy next, how are they on insurance ?? what colour do you have ?? 210bhp sounds good !! suppose they will always be worse on mpg as the extra performance gained will cancel out any improvments on mpg ie. faster the car / quicker you may travel !!!!

And would you personally say you noticed a true increase off 75bhp ?? not being funny mate but it just seems a masive increase in power for little relativly little money, no amount off bolt on goodies would achieve this sort off increase off power on your particular motor for thsi sort off money.
truthfully did you notice a true 75bhp off performance in the real world or was this what could be gained ??!!

Insurance isn't too bad, 22 3yrs no claims - 870. Its black, but the paintwork isn't too hot and its done 110k now but still going well. Yes, I guess knowing that you have the extra poke means that you'll exploit it! I have tried driving like a Granny though and it still manages to get about 34mpg

yes the difference is night and day, best money ive ever spent on a car. even if you dont get the same gains the driving style of the car changes for the better also

it was a mk4 1.8t.... turbo back exhaust with de-cat, CAI and a 007p
was a 150 standard - rr at 155 before mapping, was like 228 after.
stage 2 map from r-tech, they are very good, ooh should mention mine had a k03s from the factory being a AUM
