Just had the intitail call off flea and it sounds good.
Will know more tomorrow but should be around 300.
The gizzmo I bought is shot though so he will be setting the boost at max and I will have to send the head unit back grr
Looks like the turbo is spot on BTW smile
I do worry though.

I get worried when I visit Flea (3 times to date) as I need to amuse myself in Bristol while he's mapping the car - never been one for shopping.

Seriously, there is nothing to worry about, unless you don't like better economy, fast spool up, more power, smoother drive.............so on so forth

the only things to worry about are issues that can happen on any road - ie belts go, engine explodes, that sort of thing laugh.

both have happened to me whilst at Flea's but none of it is attributable to him or what he does, just a weak engine and (possibly) slightly misaligned belt pulleys. if he puts it on the rolling road, which is your choice, it can stress the car a bit. the mapping however is no worry whatsoever

Can't wait, the car has been checked over a few weeks ago and it's all good except it's over fueling which I have been told a map will sort out.

Love it anyway, hopefully getting a new turbo as well so if he does a good job will go back ;-) went out with this guy mapped my mates scooby very clever stuff, wasn't sure on his headphones though, was impressive got it to 485bhp. Fast but very bland.
