Well I'd be putting 30k+ per year on this and hope to have it for 3-4 years so I don't want to do anything that will lead to problems down the road for myself.

Well I just sold my Golf TDi with 137k on it and it was driving as good as the day I got it 4 years ago. My intention is that the current car will be in similar condition when the time comes to change.

Ok i have just heard back from Martin In AutoRemap and the same 2 day thing will apply and his price will be between 250 and 300euro. Albeit with no rolling road and they will be generic maps. Ill put up a poll and those who want to attend please vote between autoremap at say 275 per car and tdp at 350 but including before and after rolling road sessions.

I think the issue with "chipping" modern turboed cars is compounded by the daft service intervals. I really can't imagine running higher than stock boost in a car that only has the oil changed every 10k miles. If you know the difference between a good and a bad service and it gets serviced regularly at sensible intervals than its probably gonna be fine... but if you want to run your 320D at 250bhp and you dont even know how to check the oil level, then you are asking for trouble
I agree that there probably is a happy medium for most cars where you are running just enough boost to feel the difference and not so much as you are running out of spec enough to cause damage or premature wear. You need to decide if you trust your tuner to get this balance. |

Agreed, i used to do the oil in the 5 every 3k and filter at every second service.

It is kinda like saying I can map your car and at most I can give you 100bhp more. So if you get 1bhp more it is still below the 100bph max. I don't want to know max results I want to know minimum results. Also anyone with a E46/E39 M cars with no mods need not apply, it is well documented that there is nearly no HP gain from remapping a stock car unless you want to ruin drivablity and realiablity. BMW M division really are quit good at what they do.  Actually... I think most cars E46/E39 and post apply to this theory. Edited by Kin Mak |

[/QUOTE] Ok Point taken. But Robbie has offered a map that is arguably better than a generic one, Naturally Aspirated Cars arent the biggest contendors for mapping anyway but it can make a difference and IMO if any tuner is going to have good results with an e39/46 it is more likely to be this one than some lad with a laptop full of generic maps. Im not forcing anyone to do this, i am merely making an effort for those who do actually want their cars mapped to make it cheaper and have a fun day or two out of it. Its yer money that will be spent so do your research and see if ye will be happy with it im only relaying the facts as they were told to me. Edited by Ben O Brien |

Chipping is a good idea, but just don't go into it blind and just believeing claims. Do your research and you will be fine.
Good job on the group buy as well, we know by now what a PITA it can be to organise one.  |

I understand completely, I dont exactly want someone shelling out cash for a map that doesnt work, again. |

I wouldn't be looking to max out the power at all. If the remap could sort out the lag and provide a smoother more responsive drive even without boosting the power I reckon I'd be happy enough.

Hi Ben are there still open places for the remapping thingy? Might get my e34 540i manual done. I understand the price to be around 350 and that it includes a rolling road before and after? Had a look at there page but couldn't find any figures (which is probably a good thing). |

Yeah there is still places, im not going to turn anyone away as we can take 12-13 ish but naturally with all events some people cant make it for variuos reasons closer to the event, So ill pencil you in for this, Ill give Robbie a call re your car, id be interested myself too to see what they can do! Cant wait to hear the roar off it on the dyno! Yeah the price will be a firm 350 regardless of the car including both dyno sessions, its not just a quick one before and after he will do 5 or 6 runs or however many necessary to get an average figure at optimum running temperature, Talk to you more about this on sunday, Cheers Ben

Personally ive never been at a rolling road, seen plenty on videos but never actually been to one so it should be interesting! I hope i can bring my V70 to it, Just collected it from volvo yesterday as it needed anti roll bar links and a ball joint, now im told it needs an electronic throttle body (they are known for eating them) and an intercooler piping kit so a further 1500euro to the 900 yesterday Talk soon Ben |

While you're on about Volvos, Digweed and myself encountered the proud owner of a T5 last week, who's hoping to have it back on the road soon. Bought it off some young lad in Limerick..... Edited by Fey! |
