Performance chips?

[devonmikeyboy]

I take my car to Interpro who have always treated me very well. Nothing against the new TSR Performance but it is ment to be a whole new company as the old set up got a very bad reputation then went bust over night costing a lot of people money. TSR have just had a new dyno fitted but how well they are trained on it and weather they are having teething problems a don`t know. Interpro have been going for years and know their dyno`s 2WD and 4WD inside out.

Got number for interpro and trying to contact them to get it in this weekend! Just rang interpro and they are booked for three weeks solid! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHh

Told you they are good, everyone wants weekends so those dates always get booked quickly. Have you tried TSR ? A new company trying to start up using an old compies name that had a bad reputation would probably welcome all the work they can get.

 

[mattcogg1981]

Tried them but they are closed this weekend as TSR are at the GTI Festival this weekend! Obvioulsy not got enough staff to do both lol!

Remap booked - went on rolling road today!

Hi all,

As suggested in previous posts I took my car on the RR at TSR Performance in Bridgwater today so I would have something to compare my re-map to which is booked in on Saturday. The service was excellent and they were helpful!

Here is the graph:

Top line is torque
2nd line is normal engine output which came up at 112.5 BHP
3rd line is Wheel output at 80bhp

Engine output came out at 113 bhp so only lost two from standard so I was pleased!

Car booked in for next Thursday to see the difference!

Hopefully the air pressure/temperature will be about the same so you can get a good comparison.

You'll be able to compare the two graphs for power/torque and see the general shape as well as where the maximums occur.

Any idea what you improvements you hope to see?

 

[rashcupra]

its good for them to show you the diffrence so many places wouldnt do that!

I got a quote off a company called Celtic Tuning, £300 for an increase of 50bhp (100bhp TDi increases to 150bhp), which I think is good value for money. They are a totally mobile service and come to you to carry out the work.

It's not the mapper who's providing the graphs - Matt's done it himself

 

[tdi_chris]

quote of just over £200 from p-torque in wolverhampton, can take my 1.4TDI from 75BHP to 100BHP and increase the torgue to 250NM seems good to me

 

[mattcogg1981]

I got the graph from the RR company called TSR - I am going out of my own way to do this as I hoping to prove you don't need to spend 400-500 quid to get a re-map done that does the same as £200-250 one. Try the company "Map my ride" they start of at prices of £199 inc vat and are totally mobile! Re-map is tomorrow and I have no idea about what gain I will get - they state "10% bhp increase and 10% torque increase" I think I will be lucky to get 5bhp!

Yes, I know Superchips had the majority of the market for while so they could charge inflated prices.

Bit like K&N performance filters and Mobil 1. You pay for the name. Green filter and Millers oil are just as good. Good to have some competition. Should help keep the prices down.

Still think £400-500 is too much for a remap, esp when some cheaper ones will be just as good, and these companies will be built up on reputation.

100 to 150?? a bit steep isent it? then u gotta put 50% extra power on your insurance premium to... not like 10% i got on mine for havin a strut brace lmao!

I just got a quote from p-torque in wolverhampton regarding my 2.0 sport ibiza and its £275 in all, it includes a full diagnostics. The results i'd get were - 11bhp increase and 19nm torque - don't know where it's worth it! any suggestions?

[rashcupra]

not just power increase is gained from a remap its also for drivability and mpg too

 

[evoy2k2]

do you reckon its worth it? my mpg now averages around 30 - 35. will it be better for me rash?

 

[rashcupra]

it will be when your driving normally it will be much better but if you put your foot down it will be worse i think its worth it yes maybe i would of put theseon first to get more power increase

1.exhaust
2.intake and induction

you would see more increase with these on as less limitations!

 

[evoy2k2]

cheers rash... well im still waiting for my K&N filter to come through, once thats sorted i'll go and get it re-mapped with p-torque i think.

Thanks for your comments, helped me out rash

 

[rashcupra]

thats what scn is for

 

[evoy2k2]

yeh and im happy to have found it

Like the look or your car rash - sweet
