First of all i would like to thank all the guys at AmD for a fantastic job and a very professional service when i visited yesterday.
The car is so much nicer in every way since the remap.
Its definatly faster!!
Its more economical if driven with economy in mind. (i got 63.2 mpg coming back from AmD sitting on the m25 in steady moving trafic.)
But mostly it just feel smoother and stronger in all gears! Overtaking is now really really good fun!!
After arriving at AmD Shaun took my car for a short test drive to check that all was well with the car before a map was added. He also ran a diagnostic test to check for fault codes of which there were none.
My totally "standard" car was then put on the rolling road to get an idea of the current power and torque. The figure that was achieved after a couple of runs was rather higher than i was expecting!
176.5 bhp and 277.1 lb/ft.
As far as i was aware the car was totally standard and i can only assume that the car had been tweeked a little by SEAT or its just an unusually powerful standard car!

Anyway that aside, the new AmD stage 1 map was added and the car was rolling roaded again with the addition of a new pipercross panel filter as recommended by shaun because the old one was looking a little dirty. And the results i am very happy with!
192.2 bhp and 308.1 lb/ft
Bearing in mind that map should get a bit more powerful once the ecu has fully adapted and that the temperature in the room was 25'C i am very happy!
The drive home yesterday was fun, but i went out in the car early this morning and it has got even better! the car is now a rocket ship. the acceleration in 3rd and 4th is just incredible!
Lets just hope the clutch lasts, but if not then i will not be too bothered as the map is defiantly worth it and with a new clutch it will be even more fun!!Although at the moment the clutch seems fine in all gears!
