New LEon owner considering a power boost.
OK guys, I have only just got my Leon so go easy on me.
I have been umming and ahhing over whether to get a DTUK box. And there is one thing I can't get me head round...
So almost every manufacturer of tuning boxes (or indeed remap suppliers) quote increased economy as a side effect (read added bonus) of an increase in Power. Apparently the logic being that for a given speed the engine doesn't need to work as hard and therefore uses less fuel. Okay, got that sounds like decent logic, well it makes sense, right.
So that being the case why is it that if you take the manufacturers figures, why does the 184PS not return better MPG than the 150 PS? I mean if you remapped a 150 you'd probably get around 184/190 PS anyway wouldn't you? so why then is the 184 juicier than a 150?
I really want to understand this, can anyone please
help?
Thanks
