REMAPPING OF THE ECU.
I took the advice of Yorkshire1 and got Simon from "CC Chipping" to fit my chips to the ECU fully soldered in, great guy with fantastic know how, he used to work on software for missiles etc.
The car is just as i wanted it, more torque at the bottom end, so take off from stop is much better and i have yet to see what the m/way performance is like, all be it that was ok previously.
It is nice to know i have 30 more BHP and i could have better MPG.
Finally i was amused when Simon was removing my ECU that he asked me what the wiring alterations were, i explained i had electronically stopped "limp mode" as i had blanked of the EGR valve, (exh.gas.recirc) valve, he said how did you know how to do it, i replied that i was involved in PCB, (printed circuit boards), when i was working.
This a great club site and it put me onto a very good guy, Simon. Herbie.
