iv had the APR softwear put on my car and i was wondering about changing the cams in my car or having them re-profiled, i will need a remap after this but is this possible with the APR softwear on my ecu???

I'd say to get the best out of it, you'd need to get it remapped again.

I aint sure, whether or not you could remap it again, but i dont see a reason why not.

i have mine remmaped by apr, they do stage 2 for 49.99 but that requires a front mounted intercooler and a race cat and exhaust system etcetc, cams wont make all that much difference mate, spend your money on a ko3s turbo

iirc reading recently, there were some cams and a vernier pulley for, in the region of £650, plus there's then the stting up, and i think it said 15bhp increase!

For example, if it cost you 800 in total, thats £53 quid per bhp increase.

All the, abit pointless posts aside... If you do the cam work the map you have may be fine, it just depends how much re-profiling you do. If you have an overlap in the cam you will need to get the map altered to suit. No point in having longer valve openings if no fuel is getting in, etc.

Cool, should be nice and fast then :p If you phone apr then they will tell you whats what with applying stage 2 software, you will need the intercooler in order to get stage 2, and they told me I would benefit even more with a ko3s turbo, they told me with all of the mods i said and a ko3s i would be looking at 240 bhp+, so i would be interested to see what yours is running at with stage 2 software on it. Makes a change someone going for APR rather than revo ;)

Rogers - can i ask how you have found the APR remap??? I am hoping to have a trial uploaded tomorrow for 6hrs to see how it runs on my car which is standard bar Milltek exhaust.

Would be interested to hear how you have found it.

Cheers

Ralph
