Bristol.

My car was left at Flea's this morning thumb

This is the first time that someone who knows their stuff has had their hands on the car in my ownership.

I am hoping for a clean bill of health from the Dr. along with some modest gains and a smoothness tune up.

A RR is also on the agenda.

Lol at mr Happy clip - actually I was wearing my blue hoodie this morning and looked like the chav on the left laugh

PS don't tell Leighton (Bristol is a very nice place)

Car is standard with only the following tweaks:

K&N panel filter
Decat
Standard T28 with Seal & bearing upgrade.

Hoping for 502 BHP (in my dreams!)

Decat - 10-15 bhp, panel filter - probably nothing - but with the improved turbo seals i'm going allow an extra 20bhp - so i guess about 255 bhp. smile

If You're using Adobe Reader, use Tools > Select&Zoom > Snapshot tool, select the part of the page and paste it into some image viewing program...

If You're using some image editing program (Photoshop, Gimp), You can open a PDF file directly, the program will probably ask You a resolution (300dpi will be fine) and rasterize it. Then You can crop and resize, and save as JPEG.

Karl was the closest.

I picked the car up yesterday after Leighton had worked his magic.

The car has a very noticable increase in power and torque and is much smoother off boost. In fact the lumpiness experienced off boost was irritating and has now gone smile

I will post up the Dyno run tonight as I cant upload a PDF at work.

Headline Figs:
Run 1 - as it arrived :

BHP - 247
Torque - 224

Run 2 - After being Flead:

BHP - 271
Torque - 252

I am very pleased with the result. I was not just interested in a power increase but an overall package that would smooth the total driving experience, provide safety and check my fuelling was not going to kill the engine.

Result - Success.

There is a down side though, I am now saving for a new clutch laugh

Many Thanks to Leighton for fitting me in before his trip to Spa. Live mapping is highly recommended by me. cool

Leighton is travelling to Spa today, so HERE is a link to his prices.

You'll be glad you did.

Good result. I still don't quite understand how you get so much more power. According To my owner's handbook standard peak boost is 1.2bar. I guess it isn't in reality? How different does the power delivery feel with the remap?
