Hi
Just booked my Tuscan 2 Convertible 4ltr in for a service and a remap etc.
Wondered what sort of power gains I should expect?
Not having the cats done just the map.

Cheers

I'm going to have bespoke ECU mapping by Power soon... I'm not expecting much more than 5-10 bhp, but I under the engine runs considerably smoother with the fueling adjusted to your specific engine. I'll also get the cooling fans operation adjusted with the bespoke ECU... Fans to cut in earlier and stay on longer.

Hi there
With the rolling road booked and the remap it is around the 450-500 quid mark by the time everything is complete - thats what I have been quoted

Glow worm - Keep us posted, I'll do likewise, although mine isn't going in until March.

That's reasonable, I got quoted almost twice that somewhere else and was saving my pennies up scratchchin Also no significant power gains, just smoother running.

On a side note, I pressume this is done post service?

Hi Andie Pandie!

Yes mate, post 6000 mile service + valves clearance checks etc.

Put it this way I won't see much change for a pint out of a grand!

Would also guess that a bespoke remap will deal with the flat spots caused by inadequate fueling on the standard map?
That would mean smoother more consistent power thru the rev range and a flatter torque curve?

To me, that would be of more benefit than more power, after a trip out yesterday and some tail happy moments I find there is generally enough power to keep me humble wink
