I have searched through about remaps and see a lot of options but I would like some opinions please...
Firstly I am of the opinion that an ECU is a small computer that has algorithms based on logic programmed in to optimise the cars performance - mph, mpg, driveability, emissions etc
These algorithms are based on air and fuel for performance, driveability etc and can be 'mapped' to give faster response to certain things in the logic. Now I know this is a very simplistic approach and the logic in an ECU is a bit more complicated/exact than what I have written. But basically a programmer can twiddle with these algorithms and optimise the output of certain logic.
So, I have been in touch with 3 remapping companies and the prices vary tremendously.
1 @ £245
1 @ £350
1 @ £650
I wont mention any names at this stage but each of them give similar output figures once remapped - apart from the one at £650 who's figures are about 5% more than the other two.
So, do I really get what I pay for seeing that this day and age most IT guys are switched on to algorithms and logic etc?
