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 someone can tell me how to convert a PDF file to a Jpeg, or Upload a a PDF to tinypic.com then I will post up the Dyno run report.

Report to follow.

I can help on this - you need to have access to a PC laugh

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

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?
