Running P-Torque ... had it a few weeks now and well impressed with it ... very smooth power delivery and up from 177bhp and 180lb/ft to 215bhp and 250lb/ft ... very noticeable when you drive it and guaranteed to put a smile on the face :cartman:

My write-up on the map here

ive had 2 remaps from jabbasport. stage 2 and BT.

stage 2 242bhp and 237lbs/ft.(including dp and sports cat) no problems. car felt very quick

BT remap 320bhp and 320lbs/ft. excellent map! has a manually operated controller which reduces mainly torque for poor conditions or handy for the first 2 gears when after quick starts. very quick and drivable custom map[B)]

sorry james never had stage one. did the exhaust and remap at the same time.

your set up should be ok, its the wider dp/cat that makes the difference afaik:)

I went for Custom Code based on the reviews about the power curve.

The map has a smooth delivery of power / torque across the rev range.

I didn't want the power spike that other offer!
 
I went for the p-torque map based on great reviews from others and was more impressed than I expected to be.

Great linear smooth map with no flat spots....feels like a standard OEM map but with more go...feels like you're in a gear lower than you actually are.....

(oh and for 200 and something quid in a group buy GREAT value for money)

Can't fault it!

You didn't say whether you were interested in all maps or those specifically for petrol models.

So, I had a P-Torque map for my 1.9 TDI and was mightily impressed with the change. As Andy3004 says, for 250 squid I can't think of a better way to get more fun per pound into your car.

Owen Developments rolling road has it at 220 bhp and 304 lbft, the VAG_COM logging puts it at 214bhp and 301lbft. I've upped the clutch to a Sachs organic one and now it just the tyres that give way first.

It's so much more enjoyable now - seeing REALLY expensive cars being left far, far, behind (albeit in a thin cloud of diesel smoke).

BSR in Sweden FTW. Will put it on a kinda dyno soon: They take the wheels off and bolt some device onto the axle housing, or whatever its called.

P-Torque

Had two P-Torque maps, the generic one which i picked for the Price and smoothness of the map. When i had the Piper system fitted, i had a custom map suited to me - i had some of the aggressiveness of first and second taken away as it had developed a liking for dragster style tyre warming burnout's at junctions. Custom map is soooooo smooth.
