75 1.8t engine remapping, mod chips
 
engine remapping or mod chips for a 1.8t, im guessing remapping is better? thoughts please, is there any recommend companies is Suffolk/top essex area for remapping? I would possibly like to do it myself if possible so I can revert back to original mapping if I feel the need or want to keep the car standard, Can the remapping be done by myself if I get the new files and the correct cables? Where can I get the files and cable?

I understand the possible damage but I like the idea some of the remappers claims of a smooth, more power, slightly more mpg and faster throttle responce, I know they are only claims hence this thread. That's is if they are noticeable? - if you've had it done can you comment on it worth?

Thank all

sorry if this is a duplicating another thread.

I had my TF done by . . .

Yes, more power (approx 8 bhp) but the noticeable difference was smother rev range, throttle response etc. Overtaking is a breeze :D Best £200 I ever spent on a car.

ok thanks, i have seen them on the web, would you mind elaberating and let me know what you think of their work, did you get much from it, is it a noticable improvement?

I have found east coast tuning, but can not find east coast racing on the web yet.

Or you could see myself or marinabrian who will be able to do that for you, will cost you a lot less than £200 too ;)

The upgrade from the Rover 18T tune to the MGZT 18T tune will give you 10PS (approx 8 BHP);)

Russ added ECU Tune to my previous car,the extra power and torque were very noticeable..Well worth it in my opinion.

Biggee63 24th July 2012 13:41

Will at p-torque has done excellent work for me in the past.

His 1.8T remap should add about 30bhp and 45lbs/ft torque, but what you notice more is the smooth power delivery.

Just make sure your engine is in good fettle first, there is no point remapping if something 'aint quite right.

Final adjustments too on the rollers.

You will get a rolling road power run before and after all for less than £300.

Just a satisfied customer before you ask.

Isn't tuning a 1.8 a bit like pulling the pin on a granade with an uncertain fuse length????? :o:o:o
