yes, but 50 quid for a 2nd hand units or a couple of hundred for a remap. If its just to improve the pulling away then the 50 quid is well spent. If you want to get more performance then the 160 is better.

Has the price gone up since I had mine 6 years ago?

I think not, if you understand that amplifying a signal which is already higher than the one that is being input to the ECM, then the result is not more power, but more smoke, the MAFAM section of the synergy unit has one purpose, and that is to allow the use of cheaper MAF sensors designed for use in a Mercedes 308d van, a MAF sensor which does not have an inclusive IAT sensor, hence the cheap K type thermocouple on a flying lead fitted to Synergy units.

Many of the "performance enhancing" modifications championed by the vendor of the synergy unit actually damage the MAF sensor.......chopping off the concertina from the air intake, bypassing the water shedder fitted to the slam panel for instance

From a point of view of someone who has diagnosed a fair few cars with "faulty" MAF symptoms, many of these are attributable to EGR defects instead

Certainly not, the price has been the same since 2013, and it's certainly nowhere near £200

Did you ever find out why my re-map wouldn't show up on the T4 until the disk for mapping it was tried and blocked by the system?

It was showing as it had already been remapped previously.

I learn something new everyday. I thought that BHP was only in the CDT which I do agree, is a dog.

Yes but if you remember it showed it as a 115 when plugged in and adding extra onto it like lazy windows ect but when you went to Map it it though up at it had been mapped so you were going to look into why it didn't show up as a 160 map to start with
