Engine Mapping Forums

Today I had Alec from BOOSTERS remap my engine. I have been toying with the idea of having this work carried out for some time so I took the plunge today. All I can say is,why oh why did I not have this done some time ago the difference is amazing.
When the remapping was completed he showed me the before and after graph. The original was full of flat spots up down and round the houses the new one was a nice steady curve, there was a staggering 35% increase in both power and torque.

On the road test I found it to have more power from the off and the gear change a lot smoother. But where it really came into its own was on a nearby hill which has always been a problem to me. The cruise control would drop out and I would have to change down a gear with my foot flat to the board and reset the cruise. However this time I set the cruise to sixty and fairly flew up the hill, watching the speedo as I progressed it only dropped by 2 mph at it's steepest part then quickly reverted back to 60 without any strain on the engine. That is unbelievable as the hill is around half a mile long and gets progressively steeper towards the top.

Anyone who is thinking of re mapping I would suggest that you contact Alec at BOOSTERS I know that he will be at the Newark show in the main building on stand 7 next weekend. Before anyone suggests that I am advertising on his behalf forget it I only met the man today. Just wanted to give my opinion on a job very well done and if you are reading this Alec I only wish I had had it done some time ago as it is now a real pleasure to drive as I am not having to continually change gear.

curious to know your MPG's once you had time to drive it around.

Had a look at their site earlier what on average do they charge.

I had my van Boosterised a year ago+ very pleased with the performance.
On a recent run to Germany I got caught up with 7.5 miles of single line trucks on the twin carriage way going from Liege to Koln and had to clog it at 80 to get past the beasts. My mpg went down to 16mpg. On the Sunday run home we had no trucks set the cruise to 62mph and did 29.7mph big difference. No problems on the German hills around Frankfurt to Koblenz.
We have a far better performance than with with a box on the injectors.

I agree there are a lot of companies re mapping that is why i spent such a long time researching, Boosters are mentioned along with TB turbos in most of the forums regarding mapping on the web plus this specific italian software was developed for motorhomes Boosters where nearer to me, references where second to none and with a life time guarantee.
At the end off the day the last thing you want is a Micky Mouse company messing about with your engine you pay your money and take your chance.
The ebay provider works on an entily different software it is tuv from Germany i did research them and found them to be a lot cheaper but i can not comment on there service as i did not have the work carried out by them, i chose Boosters after a very long and technical phone call and was happy for them to carry out the works based on his very wide knowledge of this industry.
As for MPG as you said time will tell i will keep a record of that, at present i am trying to control my left hand from changing down as per i would have normally have done prior to the re mapping.
