Though some of you might find this interesting.
I recently had the 'beast' remapped.
I initially had WOW power have a go, but with lousy fuel economy and loads of black smoke I quickly had this removed.
With some trepidation I decided to have another go, as I intend to lug around a 160Kg scooter, so will need all the help I can get!
The Renault master really was a 'gutless wonder' very poor power delivery and frequent gear changes.
It's a 2.5 120dci with quickshift6 auto/manual gearbox.
I choose to have the bespoke boosters remap. They seem to have a good reputation and offer a 30 day money back.
Anyway after a weekend away, I can say it's not only a lot more torque-y, but a lot more smooth. It's also very sprite-ly now. Still can't manage some hills in 6th, but not going up in 4th now either.
Jury is out on fuel economy, my hunch is it's the same... too early to tell if it's any better.
I've attached the power curve graph, blue is standard form, red is the boosters remap. The figures along the bottom are RPM, good power range from 1500-3500.
Nice to hear you are happy with the modification,as you say you can see the difference between a proper bespoke mod designed for motorhomes rather than a generic mod for panel vans etc.

So how much did it cost and is it classed as a modification for insurance purposes? What exactly is it? we have same beasty found its ok but do find lots of gear changes compared to FiART we had last time. We get around 29mpg.
Findings are around 27/29 mpg.
Torque is much more improved, it really wants to pull now.
As for gear changes, yes it still changes more than our Mk 7 Ford Transit [5 speed] but we've now 6 gears. Before the remap I was finding many gear changes down to 4th... even 3rd! Now most are 5th.
If you stick it in manual then you can make some up at 6th.
I would say the ride is a lot smoother and less noisy than pre remap.
Just to present another side - I see the WOW remap didnt work for you. I looked long and hard at remaps (Fiat 2.8JTD) decided I couldnt justfy the price of Boosters and went with WOW with some trepidation.
I have been delighted with it, it has transformed the experience, particularly those long motorway inclines, the whole thing is just more sprightly. Fuel consumption yes maybe a litlle but very hard to quantify but who cares.
I cant say whether a 'boosters' remap would be better but I cant imagine it.
Hi Wilse
Glad you can see the difference between a bespoke modification and generic modification.We now do offer a generic modification at trade shows to compete on price with other companies but as i explain to customers there is no comparison between a proper bespoke modification and a cheap generic mod,However it has to be said that if you cannot afford the cost of our bespoke service the generic mod is still better than plug in boxes that just work on overfueling the engine.
