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. Last edited by fizzgig656; 24th July 2012 at 07:26.. |

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

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

Can I ask where you and marinabrian are located? Do you use files from standard mgzt's? Can I ask what software/cables you use? Could it be something i can do. I've read the cides etc before when I had misfire faults, i realise ill need a new cable!

I had my TF done by . . . http://www.zandf-tuning.co.uk/ Yes, more power (approx 8 bhp) but the noticeable difference was smother rev range, throttle response etc. Overtaking is a breeze Best £200 I ever spent on a car.

Im no expert but that, from what i've read about remapping, seems a pretty poor return for a remap on a turbocharged engine, would have expected at least a 10-15% increse in power, or about 16-25 bhp.
