Perhaps you're thinking of these people: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Remap-MG-...-/132862812881 they were on here a good while back but haven't seen them recently.

Big Russ in Liversedge, or myself in Newcastle can sort you out with a 177 upgrade

I’m intrigued. I was aware of the Kmaps 200 upgrade and the questionable Force Tuning upgrade. Who developed the 177 upgrade?

Also what kind of a difference to the car does it make in terms of feel/response?

Sorry Brian, didn’t intentionally discount either you or Big Russ but all we ever hear about are the diesel remaps.
I’d also like to hear more about the opportunities for the V6s - is there anything available for the Rover 2.5 without changing cams etc?

Regards

Ah! Are we talking about the V6 not the 1.8T?

If yours is a v6 why not approach one of the reidy remap agents, they will change the file from a 160 base file to a modified 177 file, so you will essentially be remapping a 177 then. Few examples done locally this way. Won't make it a 190 but will give it a good kick up the rear, especially if you have any other exhaust or upgrades.

That’s another thing I wanna do is upgrade exhaust to something louder, put the fake boy racers to shame with there fake loud popping exhausts, always makes me chuckle when one passes by
