500 1.3 Diesel engine re-mapped today

well 1.3 diesel as been done and what can i say but

there is a big differance in power and torque the little engine now revs more quickly and gets up to speed in no time

done some live mapping on the road and differance as follows

1 mile road up hill 30mph rolling start to top of hill in 4th gear hold it flat to top got to marker 65mph stock setup

1.5hrs later after 3 mapping mods results 4th gear big pull on engine
got to top of hill now doing 85mph and a lot quicker

turbo now whistling lovely and boost at 1.3 bar

the road was no traffic so all runs where the same

so after spending £250 for map well worth it
