My cars fault code is a running lean one so its overfuelling like a doodah.. it was 10.5 in places! Been told that if I get a custom map it'll sort all that out.

wow 10.5 is proper rich, i run map turbo cars at 12.0 on boost. You must get some massive flame's... lol..

Not one! What a bummer! Damn my sports cat! lol

Hey all Ive been away for a while and havent seen the site for about a month I hope I havent missed much anyway Ive had the 182 kit on my car for about 3 months now you cant actually tell the difference when you test drive it after it gets fitted you need to get it run in. Mine took about 150 miles before it felt loose and free and the revs settled down but as soon as you feel that happen and your car gets to optimal running temperature it is lovely it just makes you chuckle to yourself. It is a very good kit for the price and the performance is much better but fuel consumption goes down simply because your foot seems to be a lot heavier . I already had the k&n so had money knocked off for that and I went for the optional sport cat. You do get to keep the ds unit if you go for that over the in house map. All in all the whole cost for me was £1300 as I am very tight and just kept haggling. I hope your all doing well I have missed the crack

Well where do i start?

Arrived at PUMASPEED at 10:30am nervous and excited. I spoke to Tony about what was going to be done and what not and we both decided on the in-house map. He set straight to work making me feel very welcome and comfortable ( tea, coffee, big leather sofa, PS2) but i just chilled out as i had come straight from a night shift so wasn't really up to much. Straight away he got the car in and the bonnet was up, neumatic tools at the ready. Trying not to look at my watch too often as i knew I'd be there for a while I read some mags and relaxed. The exhaust was off in no time and the new item put on, which by the way looks stunning . A couple hours passed and i was getting restless as i was so keen to drive it! but just as we got to the three hour mark i was trying for some shut eye when i heard the fire up. A smile grew from ear to ear and we eventually took it for a test run with the new map on. The sound is SOOO nice, really subtle and a little bit raspy. It really is perfect!! ( i had the 171 kit ((decat)) with in-house remap, as apposed to the 182 where you pay more to have the DS unit, its just the same but without adjustable maps and in my opinion more reliable). Once i drove the 60 something miles home i was smiling like a little boy at christmas, once the exhaust has "baked" been driven in bassicaly the power is much more apparent!! Coming out of the twistys the power delivery is really impressive, that combined with the sound makes for a very long and very enthusiastic evening

It seats really well in the back bumper, its perfectly central and not sticking out like a halfrauds item

Properly chuffed with it and the team at PUMASPEED are clear professionals!
Worth every single cent! (£1214 to be exact )

pics to follow, camera died as i was taking them last night lol typical!

Nice one

This one then? http://www.pumaspeed.co.uk/showdetails.php?id=222 without the cat, so come MOT time you have to change the exhaust over I imagine?

well i kept my standard cat so im gonna have it cut to size and improvise at mot time, which isnt for 18 months yet so im not too concerned.

that link isn't what i'v had, this is (hope link work) http://www.pumaspeed.co.uk/showdetails.php?id=552
read the sentence just above the video at the bottom, thats what i'v done
give or take a couple of quid.

good news, when you have driven it more tell us where the difference is compared to standard, wheres your power/torque feeling to be now, that bit extra makes such a difference.
Glad your happy with the kit.

Congratulations

That's over a 100 hp more than I've got to play with

well I'v done some towny driving and theres much more low down torque, and when your really giving it pain, the high end power is much more responsive and really noticeable, oh and shhhh but there seems to be a conciderable amount more in the top end!

heavy torque delivery in the bottom end seems to me, to be around 1500- 1750rpm'ish, and in the top, well.. I'd say roughly, the real noticeable power comes in at sort of 4000rpm and doesn't stop until 7000+rpm

If anybody else has this kit I'd like to know your views too

phil

superduper

i had the 182 kit mate with the sports cat and i love it. the noise makes me smile everytime. i love switching the radio of and putting the foot down and i am getting my cossie cams put on a week this sat so even more top end power cant wait they have been sitting in my flat for about a month

omg im only alot jelous!!!! lol handling and brakes for me next.. then cams
