Back on the subject, a thread which may be of interest http://forums.m3cutters.com/showthread.php?p=187573



From the AAT site mmmmm


- Live Mapping
We really love this one, many companies are claiming to be different because they offer live mapping for their customers, making them some what special! this is where they will connect a laptop up to your car's diagnostic connector and drive the car while another person "live map's the car", or should i say pretends to map the car. LIVE MAPPING CAN NOT BE DONE THROUGH THE DIAGNOSTIC CONNECTOR OF ANY CAR! The data cannot be extracted at a fast enough rate to be able to carry out a live map. The only correct way is to open the vehicle's ecu and connect an emulator, so you can transfer the data from the ecu in REAL TIME. along side this certain diagnostic tools and analysers are needed like air fuel ratio meter and det detect equipment if need be.
Ok so lets say after all that a company is able to live map, who says they are any good at it? You have to remember that a HIGHLY DEVELOPED custon map is going to be miles better than a POOR live map. It takes years of experience to be able to live map successfully! Lastly somebody cannot live map modern cars 100% unless of course they have original manufacturer tooling to do so. These tools are specific to the manufacturer only, and is not possible to purchase. So dont fall for it!

AL tuning aka AAtecknik have different map to Evolve. The main difference is, evolve RR your car, and make sure everything is running spot on, and then fine tune the map to suit your car.

I did a before and after runs with a mates car. Before the remap, it was neck and neck, after the remap, i left him EVERY single time. It definately works.

So the consensus seems to be that Evolve and DMS maps seem to be the ones to go for?

Putting your car on a rolling road does not make sure everything is running spot on!

Also rolling road dyno figures are not accurate. If you want to see the increase in power and torque properly from engine modifications take it out and put it on an engine dyno.

By the way AL and AAT will dyno your car if you want but it is not necessary on road cars with bolt on mods as they know what they are doing, are experienced and have been doing it a lot longer IMHO.
