Remapping Day Group Buy- Interest

Does anyone know the cost from TTM in Galway?  Do they do remap or just piggyback systems?

If it's a west thing, I can try and sort the ssame accomadation as before for people if they want, but that'd mean an overnight in Galway!!!

I understand if you prefer to do it in Limerick, Ben - it's your shout.

At the moment this is the list of cars i have down to do it, this ok with everyone??

91 525i 24 valve - Me
00 Volvo V70 2.0T Classic 163 - Me
98 e39 525 TDS - Denis
04 E46 320d - Gonzo
01 e39 525i 24v twin vanos - dermot
02 e39 525i 24v twin vanos - Mick
98 e39 520i 24v - david
?? e36 318i Convertable - Paddy
?? E36 318is Coupe - Paddys mate
93 e36 316i - Eric
92 520i 24v - Ivan
?? e36 323i Coupe - Colin

And possibly a 3.0TD Landcruiser passenger jeep, 2000 if the gains are respectable.

Just got off the phone to TTM and he said that all of their maps are live and not generic and hence it takes them a full day pretty much to do a map so he had no interest in doing the mapping side of things, he did however mention he would do a dyno day for us if we were interested for 60euro per car,

Ok i will see what Robbie at TDP has to say, if he can do it it would be a result as he will also do the Rolling Roading for us..

Hi all,

Just got off the phone to robbie at TDP and he really knows his stuff, tol me it would be limited to 10-12/13 cars split over a saturday and sunday, He is based in wicklow and can probably help sort accomodation for those needing it,

The time frame would be the end of february, we talked about the 25/26,

More importantly he spoke honestly of the cars mentioned, said for most of the e46/e39s he would even out the torque and provide about 8-10bhp at most, but it would be noticeable.

He mentioned that post 99 cars could be flashed through the OBD port and would take around an hour to do, however most others would be in or around 3 hours so we would have to have a mix of pre and post 99 cars on the one day to make up time so to speak. He had heard of the last mapping day and understood fully the goings on surrounding the e46/e39 fiasco.

He will also put the car on a dyno before and after to show the results.

I for one am most impressed with them out of all i have looked at, he didnt seem to have any interest in ripping us off either which is very important! Cost is 350 euro per car which in my mind isnt bad considering the expertise and the fact a dynopack will be used quite a lot on each car. He said there will be a very detailed print out not just a dyno graph.

The results for some of the diesels are astounding, proven 240-250 bhp from 530d's..

@ Denis and Gonzo. be prepared to be peeling yourselves from the back seat afterwards!

How do we all feel about this??

Ben...I'm still intersested, either of the dates mentioned suit me. Better for getting it dyno'd too!! Is there a location?

Cheers

@ Brendan, Yeah the price is firm, your car would respond very well indeed, VAG group tdi's are one of the most popular cars to be remapped,

@ Denis, try 185 bhp!! Though you can tell him what you want be it economy or power or whatever as these are live maps.

@ llatsni, Yes i agree totally, hence going to TDP, he gave off the impression of honesty and integrity. Which cant be said of a lot, Martin at westward i found very difficult to get hold of and TTM have no interest, I feel TDP fit the bill quite well. Everyone ive spoken to today that have dealt with Robbie before have only positive things to say and he is well respected in the motorsport industry.

The fact that his dyno tests are so thorough before and after and hence showing any gains IMO shows his service to be decent and honest??

Sounds good.  Nice work, Ben.

I'm up for the Sunday - will be working the Saturday and Monday, and no chance of time off for me in February.

Can he give you coordinates for GPS systems - might be easier for people to find.

Yes your right Gonzo,

I would imagine any negatives would be slightly more wear on Turbo etc due to higher boosting but i did about 20k on my chipped TDs and it had absolutely no trouble once serviced regulary, There is a happy medium with all mapping you can get 1000 bhp with a turbo car but dont expect it to drive any further than out of the garage!!!
