So, apart from a little black smoke remaining to be shot out, all done! I'm getting full power again! The mechanics were not impressed that the mapping had boosted the power available to 160hp...they reckoned that would shorten the life of the engine. Since I generally don't boot my car around at every opportunity, I think it will last long enough. Any 'moon' members got the 160hp mapping in their engines?

I've no issues personally with a cumulative 250000 miles in 160 form, and the highest miler I've upgraded was just shy of 600000
When the 160 was being developed, the intention was not to tune out reliability, but to increase driveability something that was achieved.
