Where's everyone getting thier cars mapped these days?

[Mickym123]

I've never had a car mapped before so I don't know where to start. Seen some places charging £300+. Is that about right?

For a basic derv remap ? The usual debate involves a million pages haggling between Autotune or torque-tronix

For a fancy petrol ? Depends on the car.

Either way there is no straight answer

You're forgetting the old popcorn limiter question as well.

Yeah as @Eager says it can really depend on the car.

Some are happy with derv tunes from lots of places, some will also get performance stuff mapped. Groups / forums might pay to bring a specific tuner from the mainland and others opt to travel to England to get the job done (myself included).

Also there's a fair range of plug and play devices for some cars too so you can load a 'safe' map from a reputable company yourself.

If you give some details of which car (and any modifications) you're looking mapped then people can give better suggestions.

I'd love to get mine mapped, i just cannot afford REVO even under one of their offers.

My old fabia was mapped by TT and It never had a single issue!

I prefer the extra reek map myself.

 

[Philljdm]

In the same situation between revo/ obd /tt
Would like a rtech remap but would have to go to england .have a mk6 golf gti

Joe Bloggs, meet him in the local car park.
Guarantees at least a 45% increase.

 

[scubbay]

Murray Motorsport in Hilltown are getting good results. Before and after RR free induction smoke test etc before mapping

The car in question is just a 2010 merc c200.

I know I'm not going to get serious gains out of it as it's only a 2.1 single turbo diesel. I'm just looking something to give an extra bit of a push for overtaking etc.

Every little helps and turbo diesels seem to be the flavour amongst most people over here wanting a remap.

The two main ones that come up on this forum when asked for suggestions are;

Auto Tune Home

and

Contact Us

Maybe some other folk will be able to offer more suggestions but you probably won't go far wrong with either of the above!

Thanks. Left TT an enquiry.

Auto Tune are traders on here, I've been up there with a couple of my cars and would recommend them.

What sort of prices have you been paying mate?

 

[Lyons]

Was a few years ago, £200 odd I think.

I know there's good and bad reviews of everywhere, but there is 1 members experience in particular always puts me off TT.

 

[colin84]

Used TT once and had no complaints, but Autotune are great lads and will help out in anyway possible. They have saved my Aunt a fortune on 2 occasions using there contacts, and went out of there way to help me a few times now.

 

[surprising_skoda]

Heard enough stories about pretty much every company, some more than others. But for diesel remaps, safe ones, one of the guys that works for me does them after work and everyone seems to be happy enough. Got him working on doing some petrol ones for me at the minute which I'll trial afters.

Autotune done mine and with a few other things it went extremely well.They have mapped all my cars and had no bother at all.The focus torque figures were well up .

 

[Eager]

I found Wishart at Tosser tbh. Bit of a weirdo.

Your completely mad trusting someone in a carpark. I wouldn go anywhere else but Facebook myself to find a tuner.

 

[Broomy]

Used a Bluefin for mapping the Golf almost 3 years ago now & can't fault it at all.

 

[bludgod]

if im thinking of the right car/model then you have a delphi ecu - best to go to a proper shop that has legit kit as a lot of the clone tools dont fare too well on them. Gains will be worth it though!

 

[thomas_lad]

i had mine done by Autotune 2 years ago and think it was £200 as there is an RMS discount i think

 

[Mickym123]

That sounds alright.

TT got back to me this morning. 240 inc vat. Said they can take it from 134 to 210 bhp as the c200 is just a restricted c220. Sounds like a good gain to me.

Because VAG in their wisdom lock some of their ECUs (eg 1.6 Leon) it costs more to get them mapped.
I got mine unlocked, EGR mapped out and a few modest gains.
Probably the best thing I've ever done to any car.
Not sure on price as I paid through my Auto Spark mate and he had a few other things to do as well.
Think it was around £250 - I know it was £50 more to add the BHP after the EGR had been removed.

Is the egr removal not an mot fail? I'd like to get it done myself.
