Couple of obvious things ... what fuel did you put in it? And how hot was the weather?

Try it with Vpower, We did lots of logging on my old MK3 Leon Stage 2 and it was pulling loads of timing using Momentum 99, few days later with a full tank of V-Power and it wasn't pulling anywhere near as much timing.

I'll give that a try but just got a new issue the oil pressure light jus came on and went off changed the oil pump and cleaned the oil pickup pipe on my last service which was 2 months ago

My main issue now is the oil pressure light jus beeped once and went off but was fine before the remap

What did they tell you? They should have had some ideas while you were there I would have thought?

They did say that the age of the vehicle and turbo could play a part and may b a leak in the hoses

Age might knock a few horsepower off, but not a full 30. Must be a little leak somewhere. Try a smoke test.

I'd also put fresh recirc and N75 on to it, unless they were changed in the last couple of years.

That's what I'm probably going to do a smoke test see of there is any leak and before the remap I got it dynod it was pushing 216 bhp so it lost like 9 bhp

Try the oil pressure sensor switch that could cause oil light flashing just had to change mine

There’s a good checklist of things to check/replace on the r-tech website. Would be worth taking a look...

Sounds like there is an issue there.
Age of car is less important than its life.
If it’s had a hard life then it will show in the figures.
V power can definitely add horses.
I’d have thought it would have had a smoke test prior to the mapping session.
When I mapped mine the first time it was pulling 215 standard and it was a struggle to get above 245 with a custom map.
Wouldn’t hold boost at full revs.
Turned out the turbo was a Chinese rip off from a Christmas cracker.
Additionally you don’t say what supporting mods are on the car.
Oversize TIP? Results vary from product to product.
Heat shield is important too.
Old fuel pump may play a part too.
Hope that helps.

I was thinking that too why they didn't do a smoke test on my vehicle need to ring then up on monday and sort that out and mpds wise I've got a forge recirc valve, heat shield with ram air filter and milltek cat back exaust

I've actually owned the car for about 3 years now and looking at the service book and receipts I can only see stuff like cam belt and oil pump replaced water pump too and regular maintenance etc so looks like the turbo has not been changed so it is 14 year old and guessing fuel pump too my previous garage did check for any leaks which he did find one and changed the hose but the car has had a new head put on in december due to the timing belt snapping

Took it to the garage and put it on the ramp looked at the d
Flexi pipe and its leaking so looks like I'll be buying a decat 3 inch down pipe so I'm in the market for a milltek decat

Grab a Badger5 oversize turbo inlet pipe.
If you use a decent one which improves flo you can see gains of up to about 8 ponies on average. Sometimes more.
