Well....
Had the remap today. I had my previous one done at RS tuning in Leeds, quite expensive but a good reputation. So I thought hey, why not.
I felt that they did not get all they could out the car with the mods I had and the at didn't seem to drive smooth, I took it back, to see if they could solve the issue. They did improve it a bit.
Anyway recently I have added a few upgrades, k&n intake and esseesse sensors on top of what I had. So I felt it needed to be mapped again, see what the car could do.
I did some research and found Paul at limitless remaps (they are on fb) I spoke to him and he seemed to know his stuff. He was offering remaps at £150 any car any time. I was dubious, but he explains all on his fb page.
He uses just a laptop and builds the map around the mods you have, no dyno like rs tuning.
Anyway today I took at to him, he read the car and got the original map to work on, start from scratch.
An hour or so later he was ready to upload my map. So I turned the key and instantly I felt the difference, the car was so much smoother and calmer in idle.
So to the car in the road....JESUS!
It's an animal! The power delivery is so much smoother now, the power just keeps on coming all the way through the revs!
Then there's the sport mode, this is insane, today with the slippery roads, put my foot down in 5th and wheelspin, in 5th!!!! Can't wait for a dry day.
Power and torque is incredible, I have my abarth as it should be, this is the end of the power mods for me, I will start on other areas now.
I will recommend Paul at limitless remaps to anyone in the West Yorkshire area, he's based near Halifax. Great guy and great knowledge.
Just as a comparison RS tuning managed to get 182bhp out of it. It feels so much quicker and torqueier now. So I need to get it on the dyno Asap for a power run. But I think it'll be very close to that magic 200bhp mark. I will assess reliability over the long term and keep you updated.
But as far as I'm concerned you can spend hundreds on a fancy dyno remap like I did. But I advise you to do research, look at reviews and have a good chat with the remapper first, and you will get the best outcome.
Anyway, have a good weekend chaps, I know I will ??
