I am looking to re-map my just wondering whats the best on offer? Ive read about bluefin etc but i am concerned that an engine re-map will cause alot of problems in the future.

Anyone on here had it done?

i wouldnt bother getting a remap with just a cat back exhaust, i would wait till you get more mods as it wont do a lot.

i do have the k&n 57i fitted aswell. Im sure with these mods id get an extra 10bhp and 10lb/ft torque? Im not looking 2 get up 2 200bhp, just a bit better performance than standard car. 250quid ive been quoted 4 generic remap....thoughts?

10bhp from just a K&N and a re map??

Don't think so buddy, leave the re map until there is the need for it

if your wanting to get up to 200bhp, get the full exhaust system with 4-1 manifold, cosworth inlet manifold, 60mm throttle body then get the re-map. if im correct i think this will get you 200+. im sure someone else will advise you tho.

Bluefin quoted me 10bhp, 10lbs of torque extra, aswell as my local performance tuning garage, i personally dnt knw if this is BS, thats why im asking if anyone has had this done and what gains they got?

i had mine rr the other day and i came out with 163bhp at the flywheel thats with a K&N and miltek flexi pipe so 15bhp more than standard, but i wont get a remap yet as i don't see the point maybe when i get cams etc it will be worth the £300 odd.

Im not after huge performance, just a better/smoother driving car. Id be happy enough with a 10 bhp and 10 lb/ft torque increase. im just asking how reliable the re-maps are on the

I haven't heard of any problems due to remaps.

Dreamscience seems to be favoured over bluefin, not entirely sure why...


As others have said, wouldn't see much point in a remap as your car stands.
I had a K&N and full exhaust system with de-cat, that made a good difference to the car, never felt like it needed a remap either.... remaps much better for turbo cars and useful on NA when you have significantly affected the cars standard behaviour

i got a 22bhp gain with just k&n

but i am a rare case

170 bhp and 151 lbft with just a K&N

im going to get my car on the rolling road next week to see what my performance is sitting at just now, i will then think about my options.

My 3 options are to remap and lower my car on eibachs, or buy the milltek 4-1 manifold, or save up another month and get the mountune 165 kit.....

problem is you already have two of the required MT parts, K&N and MT Cat Back so shame to loose money on those, can't see MT selling you a kit and knocking off those parts and if you buy the MT parts seperately you won't get the MT Remap. So maybe just complete all the bolt-on parts as you go along including a 60mm then go for a custom map, maybe add cams too and then get the mapping done, you will be looking at 170-200bhp with those options.
