Hi all i had my m/home remapped last sunday by Alex of Boosters, as yet i have not driven it to find out if it is any better but after reading the comments on here i am sure there will be an improvement, i will let you know after the weekend as i am going to Tenby.

Hi All

Further to my last post, took the Polo (1100kg) for a tow round Hampshire the weekend after the re-mapping by Alex and was very impressed with the increase in 'pulling power' and the overall smoothness of the engine. I hardly noticed the extra weight and on the inclines, the Hymer kept up a steady '60' easily with the Auto box only dropping down from 4th to 3rd occasionally as before the remapping, it was usually down to 2nd.

Thanks Alex, a great service which I would strongly recommend to others.

The only doubt I have re a remap is when the Fiat garage updates the ECU??????

You get your re-mapper to do it again. Some charge, some don't.

The remap is way better than the chip as Boosters say. I had mine done in Cambridge by Torquing BHP (based upon recommendations from a load of people who had their vectras done by him) and the difference was stunning. I know quite a few people who got a tuning box and replaced it with the remap - which will not cause any ECU error messages that chips might sometimes do.

A lot of remappers will do it again free of charge in the very unlikely event that the garage actually reloads the engine software.

Hi all now for my twopenuthworth, on friday before i went to Tenby i filled up to the brim then drove 175 miles to my destination, the performance was absolutely brilliant no more changing down to third to overtake lorries and it was very smooth to drive actually it was a pleasure to drive the van, now the downside it cost me £43.00 to fill up which after doing my sums was 22--23 mpg so that made my w/end a bit expensive so i have decided only short journey's in future or take the lead out of my right shoe.

Hi Dave and Roger
Glad you were pleased with the final result,suggest you drive in slippers dave rather than diving boots,ref peoples concerns if the main dealer does a software upgrade on the vehicle ecu,this happens very rarely but if this should occur i will meet up with the customer and rewrite the modification f.o.c
Regards

Hi all i have to say if i had known what the diff in performance and the MPG would be after remapping i would still have it done.
