APP engine remap results..?

[Foxy]

Just curious, those of you out there with the APP engine....

If you have had a remap what were the results? And who mapped it etc.

I ask because Im having mine mapped on friday and just want to know what to expect. Ill be chuffed with 200bhp and 210lb/ft not expecting too much am I?

Whos remapping it?

These are the non VVT ones right?

200bhp/240lbft I'd say realistically assuming some decent boost

else just drag the torque down 30lbft

I also have an APP and was thinking of getting revo but if i cant get to 200bhp i dont think i will bother? Will i make 200 or maybe not?

Ive got a app engine! (but with ko3s turbo). a remap will be worth the money as the pull will be alot stronger. You never get bored playing with it!

big lad, Did you change you turbo to a ko3s? If so where can i get one and how much will i need to pay? Buy the way i did try the revo free trial and my car felt a LOT faster but dont know if it got to 200BHP? i just dont want to spend £400 and not get much for my money.

£400 ?

Revo is £399 & VAT for your car (£469)

Why not take it to a custom tuning place such as Bell Auto's or Star ?

maybe because neither offer switching, adjustments or security features?

Not everybody is interested in that though to be fair. Personally, the only thing I'd like is the switching so I can turn it off if I need to, but even that I could live without.

snap, i'd preffer a really good map, with good power and plenty of torque rather than extra features, only me that really drives it and i have an alarm, so no need imho

Well No! The previous owner did, noticed a month later! To be honest stick with ko3 turbo instead of upgrading. you engine doesnt have the VVT so you may still no see much gain!
They cost aroun £200 -£300 depending on the condition!

Get a cc, bell, or P torque remap which may be cheaper!

Good idea! I will shop around and see what is out there? I dont really know too much about remaps? revo is just well known on here thats why i was going to go for that but im sure there are lots of others around. I will do a search to find out more. Thanks for the advice everyone!
