My mate actually booked a remap of his VX220 turbo (at his home address) in bournemouth and I just jumped on the band wagon and met them there. SO I suppose you could say I met him halfway! RE: my proximity to you, OOPS I've just realised I've neglected to change it, I'm now in Ash, some 20 miles away. Still work in Dorking though if you wanna meet up and see the results of the tuning.!

Its NOT ALDERSHOT OK!!!! ;) ;)

Well, anytime you wanna try a remapped mofo, let me know! The car is stuttering a bit on part throttle at the mo as it needs some dealer attention, but it still pulls like a ******* to about 4,800 rpm flat out.

DO it mate, but ask for a map with your torque capped at something sensible like 280lb ft if you plan on keeping the original clutch!

My car put down 302 lb ft on the dyno at Powerstation, but the operator said there was a fair bit more, it just never hit the rollers as the clutch was slipping in 5th gear :( . Graham (celtic) reckons its more like 320-330 lb ft in a big spike. he can have it capped at whatever you like to preserve your drivetrain.

In 2nd gear the car is silly rapid, in 3rd the steering still fights you with the torque steer :D

Yes, look at my signature again!

I made 200 bhp and 302 lb ft torque at powerstation in tewkesbury, reknowned tuners. The car actually made 208 bhp on the day, but they corrected it to 200 as it was so cold. grrr (or should I say brrrrr)
