Kevin Bacon 5 Posted May 16, 2006 Once it's in and running OK, you can then take it down to Stealth for one of their excellent remaps! is that a pricey affair kev ? £350. Worth it though as the GIAC software is a bit too peaky for our climate. Vince smooth's the delivery right off. The best bet is a standalone ECU. Loads more power and constant tweakability. As and when you add more boost, intercooling etc, you can map it yourself rather than forking out £350 each time! But anyway, lets get your snail up and running before entering into those exotic realms :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
