Hi guys after reading up abit I don't fancy putting the gtec chip in my coupe as there's mixed reviews (unless someone can convince me otherwise) does anyone know where I can get a good remap that's not too far from Stafford? Thanks

That's what I thought buddy but there's nowhere local (that I know of) that will check the fuelling on a rolling road (I have an emissions tester) I appreciate everyone's comments btw guys the engine seems healthy other than it smokes on idle here and there haven't quite figured this one out yet

I have a Gtec Coupe now, I have owned a few Flea mapped ones too, Naturally a remap is the way forward as you have your car health checked, & mapped according to the setup it has,
A Gtec is bloody excellent IMO, Developed for the masses with upto 40bhp increase for £15!
Negatives, Or as some think - Positives with the Gtec are - That the boost comes on so fast, Like a switch, Mild boooooossssstttt, Then BANG!!! 1.2bar and tORque steer vs stiff forearms!
Best £15 any 20vt can get, Surfice to say - A healthy coupe is required to run any boost hike.. That can only really be tested by a quality mapper (Flea etc)

That's what I thought buddy but there's nowhere local (that I know of) that will check the fuelling on a rolling road (I have an emissions tester)
There will be plenty of rolling roads in your area and they will all check the fuelling on a run... the engine seems healthy other than it smokes on idle here and there haven't quite figured this one out yet Most likely the turbo... unless you've already ruled that out. They start smoking 'here and there' for a while... and then it will stop smoking 'here and there'... eventually you'll get sick of it or it'll pop. And then you'll need a hybrid
F****** b****** thing...

Thanks Just jump on the M5 and get it done properly at fc performance mate. Like people have said there are mixed results with the gtec.

Mikeanics in congleton have a rolling road.
I have been running a gtec2 for the last 18mnths and everything has been fine. Not sure what my bhp would be with the gtec2 and fmic etc but i'm debating wether to go and see flee for a proper remap made for my cars mods.

I have a gtec2 in mine and it is fine, but I'm going to take it to flea to get it mapped soon. However there have been no problems with the gtec. It basically depends on how much money you have really. I'm not far from you so we should both take our coupes to Bristol at the same time and get him to map both. Maybe we can have a race!

I meant has anyone asked the question yet of if he would come to Staffordshire if we could get a few people interested in having a remap done on the day.
I have no doubt whatsoever that flea is the best man for the job.
