Thanks guys! I am in Essex so Surrey isn't too bad! I will lookup Abbey Motorsport....

 

Also, should I go about getting everything else first like Air Filter etc?

You might like to check out Abbey's advice ;) :

+1 good write up.

 

I had fitted a job lot of mods at the same time - as the remap is of course not cheap. I had Air Induction, XYZ pipe, De-cats, Plenum Spacer and the NOS all mapped at once.

 

Only issue with that is I couldn't tell you what gains I achieved individually.

Had mine mapped & plenum spacer by abbey,notice the difference & very pleased,wasting your money re induction,de-cat will give extra bhp for little money,other than that if you want to go much faster buy a different moter :yahoo:

one thing thats confusing me - and from what ive read people havent yet commented on (from what ive read)

 

I was reading abbeys website, and they say

 

the lower gears by not allowing the throttle to be opened 100% in the 3 lower gears, 1st gear 65%, 2nd gear 70%, 3rd gear 80%.

 

Does the remap remove this limitation? Because surely, would the 0-85mph sprint be much reduced and make the car have a lot more power in the lower gears?

 

Or have i read it completely wrong?

You dont get more bhp from up rev but you get all the power available in 1st,2nd&3rd &revs higher,since i had my uprev done my car feels much quicker & may be in my head but better mpg,my only bhp gains were 9bhp from the fitting of my plenum spacer,the car feels much better than the 3% gain from the plenum spacer,talk to mark\scott at abbey there the guru's.

thats the thing that made me wonder though - dyno runs are usually done in 4th gear (or closest to 1:1 ratio), where it isnt limited - but surely if the first 3 gears are limited then removing that must give more power in those gears?

 

Or am i barking up the wrong tree :lol:

The bhp is the same but you get 100% power so yes you will get to 85mph quicker,i was told 0.5 quicker to 60,dont know for a fact if thats true but the moter feels much quicker,imo the uprev is the best first mod.

:dry: I'd say you'll get a few ponnies if tuned nicely from standard ecu rom.
