Hi, ive just had my car remapped, it was a custom remap with a rolling road before and after printout. But im left quite confused with the results. After the map was finished I took it out for a run, and found that when accelerating slowly and after a few seconds the car would start kangaroo'ing, and the turbo would keep spooling up and cutting off repeatedly. Yet under more throttle it was absolutely fine and it drove extremely well and there was a huge increase in performance. So I took it back and told them, so he took it out, identified the symptoms and tried altering the parameters, and tried it on the standard map. After taking it out again we found it was doing it as standard, just only barely noticeable, so he seemed fairly confident it was the egr valve that was clogged up. so they put the new map back on and said they'll extend the money back guarantee and refund everything if cleaning the egr valve didn't sort it which was fair enough. The results I got are 159.1bhp up from 134.8. and 227 ft lb torque up from 204 ft lb. which from seeing other results from others on here seems to be quite low, especially the torque. the standard figures sound like theyre accurate but the new ones sound too low. The bhp increase is only slightly lower than they estimated, but the torque is way out from the 277 they estimated. Could this be the clogged egr valve causing it or just the remap. as the standard results sound fine.
And just to throw another spanner in the works, I came across a Subaru impreza wrx (the one after the bugeye but before the hawkeye) and thought id see whereabouts I stand, and to my surprise he couldn't pull away at all, and he was definitely trying to as I couldn't hear my engine for the sound of his exhaust. So I really don't know whats going on with my figures. help!
Cheers.
