Who has had a remap!

**shimmy** · 05-02-2010, 11:51 PM

Not a poll this time but interested to know who has had a remap and who has genuinely felt a difference or improvement

I have had two on my CSL. First was with Simtis and te car definitely felt better at mid range power, mpg improved and there was a more even throtle response. Interestingly it was put on at lunch time at a track day at Donny and i could easily feel the slight improvement by the end of the day. Even more noticable on the drvie home BUT no big difference just minor changes you could pick up.

second oen was a Simpsons/ESS map which removed the limiter and gave memory to the sport button but otherwise felt no difference. On checking it seems as if the only other change to the map we could find was a slghtly increased rev limit by 150revs.

With my plans this year and the exhaust and header mods as well as weight loss i am planning a visit to get a custom map for my car just to trial. Plan would be to give it a go on my car as it is then remove it again.

Then later to put it back on with modifications for the headers, cat and back box to see if we can get some real gains (although i understand they will not be large). My hopes are that we can get say 20-25 bhp. I would be happy with that but i know looking at history of maps on M3 and CSL it is unlikely.

I was planning to get some high lift cams but until i can fidn soemone confident with remapping for these i am a bit hesitent

What are your experiences?????????
