Great figures mate!! How long did the remap take all-in-all? Is it still a standard engine/turbo/exhaust etc?

[chip-it]

Took about hour out on road he sure knows his stuff got aps top mount intercooler, wrx cold air induction, avc-r boost controller ,sport cat exhaust downpipe. rest of exhaust standard andy said if i changed rest
would only get extra 5hp .

[John Mc]

What advantage does a boost controller have on a 'standard' engine? I would have thought that you wouldn't be at risk of getting more than the standard 1.4bar? Apologies for my lack of knowledge

Like you not realy understand every thin but used with remap gives higer boost and brings it in quicker also takes air temp and can adapt to it and gear changes not explained very well

Why didnt i think of that

I like the way you can switch the map via the heated screen switch. I was taking my car out to be stored for the winter a few weeks ago and it felt slow as hell on the way out. The battery had went flat the day before so obviously re-set the car back to the low boost map Andy installed, wasnt till i remembered half way through 4th gear when I double clicked the button that I got a shit load more boost and a massive smile on my face again!

What is more of a worry is that it took till 4th gear to realise. Your brain must be full of suds and tripping on tar remover fumes.

must of realised there was still a full tank left and wondered what was wrong, by the time you hit 4th its almost empty usually!

lol, I wasnt accelerating at all on my way up to 4th - wasnt untill I went to overtake I noticed it!

ROFL - can imagine the wifes face when she sticks this on out of habbit and the car starts pulling like a train lol

[Clark]

Ah but AndyF's obviously thought of that, you have to double click it

We had a good laugh in my mates STi going down to TOTB a few years back, his was re-mapped the same and we kept hitting the button while he was overtaking - imature but really funny when he wasnt watching

[Dipsy]

I don't have the high and low boost map on mine.Andy F asked when he was remaping mine i said no thanks .

[CAVEMAN]

I have to depress the throttle peddle for 5 secs before starting the car...then the rev counter needle indicates which map it is on. 1 or 2.

I have only ever used map 2 once, just to see what it was like....never again!!
