They were 2 different places. the first figures was when it was running really crap. It then went to Alan Jeffery in Plymouth www.enginetuner.co.uk/. and came back with a print out with those figures on. The dealer I got it from sorted it and took it, so I don't know what was done.

So infact it might not be mapped at all, they might just of asked him to look over it and then he RR'd it and his RR might be VERY generous?

something had been done, coz the power delivery is a real kick now and it gets to 140 pretty quick. the car just felt so much quicker when I got it back. He said there was evidence that someone had been inside the ecu before. I don't know anything about these cars, I have never had a turbo before. Mainly tdci's. That's why I was on here after advice, I just don't have the money to get it mapped to big bhp's. It has warrenty til end of April, so if it does go tits up, the dealer has to sort it. I just don't like how it's quite lumpy, holds back sometimes and that b*****d popping from the exhaust does my head in.

Just a quick question about the fuel pump....what about one off a RS4....I'm sure I've read somewhere that this is an option instead of the APR one? (Unless I was dreaming at the time!)

Unless you need it, I wouldn't bother just yet. It depends what stage tune you are at... If your on Stage2+ (with HPFP) and experiencing issues with flat spots then it's worth the purchase

Benefits - More fuel is provided and helps with flat-spots (hit or miss with flat-spots, it didn't fix mine but it did fix others...)

Another note, some garages may charge you couple of hours to install this valve by taking the intake manifold off (this is required!) the job can be done within 1-2hours max with the correct tool or modded tool even!

Hope this helps ;)

Ps. About my flat-spots, I changed alotta bits & pieces, so not quite sure how mine was solved after...:whistle:
