Figures look about right to me!

It'll be like a different car with the pipes and map :)

It's the torque figures that's seem way high... Well higher than I was expecting and if mpg improves that's always a bonus... Just looking forward to giving it a blast some time

Great figures including the mpg I have never managed over 30 mpg how the hell did you get that on the North Circular usually lucky if you can hit 40 mph.

Part of the journey was on the a13 too but was light traffic constant flow but still impressed.... Mainly in stop start traffic so see if there is a difference in the daily commute

You'll normally see an improvement in mpg due to fuel injection optimisation unless you now drive it like you stole it to explore all the extra power!

Ben how did revo remap? Ecu in or out? I've already mentioned elsewhere I'd be unhappy with the apr unlock and map, as that involves removing the ecu, but as sawda's (detailed) experience is so good then I would consider it and stuff the warranty.

afraid revo take your ecu out aswell, I went for revo aswell so I can have the sps controller so I can disable the car so no one can steal my car can also change maps to eco , normal or map.

The newer Bosch ECU's are OBD-II input locked so I couldn't see how Revo had managed to develop a map that could use this method without it initially being removed., Thereafter it can be set to be OBD flashed.

 

red14, if you go to an APR franchise who can tell you how many RS3's and TT-RS's they have mapped and it is in double digits, there is a more than good chance they know what they are doing and you should have some comfort in them removing the ECU. The process isn't too complicated with the right tools, if they take a sledgehammer and chisel to the casing then worry!
