Overall i was very pleased with them. However last weekend i went with my mate to his megane meet and put mine on at the end of the day and here were the results:

Normally i would say it is probably just different rollers, but the dude who did it pulled a very strange face at my graph and said its not running right and stuff but i cant really see a massive difference in the graphs apart from a power drop, Also they were the same make Rollers in both places but i suppose they cud calibrate them differently

At halifax your boost is spiking just under 1.2 and leveling off at 0.95 bar. If it was set to 1.2 then it would spike at about 1.4 bar. On that graph it is running no more than standard boost...

Didnt someone decide that at halifax the rr was under-reading the boost though?

It was under-reading my boost lol, but who knows what my car is doing \:\?

If what youre seeing on the boost gauge on the road is different to what the graph says then believe the boost gauge.

dyno dynamics rollers each time, air temps could play a large part, also engine temp on the runs will factor some varience too.
wonder if the 2nd tuning company re-calibrated the rollers, holding back some power to make you want a remap.......hmmmmmm
