The chap claims stage two is 180bhp to 195bhp depending on boost etc I am tempted in all fairness but I don’t want to fiddle with the turbo at all really
All you need to do is adjust it like he will tell you to up the boostThe chap claims stage two is 180bhp to 195bhp depending on boost etc I am tempted in all fairness but I don’t want to fiddle with the turbo at all really

I took mine down to Daniel and he done it all for me, didn't have a Nanocom back then and I hadn't done that much engine work so didn't want to mess anything up.Did you up the boost on yours?
Yeah that's fair enough, I've not seen a dump but it certainly looks faster than my stage 2!Its fine to up the boost to 18psi without any issues at all. Its worth doing. Any higher and you need the boost limit raised + uprated MAP or a boost box (not a fan imo)
Im not saying 240bhp isnt possible but its pointless, past around ~200bhp the cost vs bhp gain becomes too great and becomes cheaper and more reliable to fit a V8
Banks are you saying it wouldn’t hurt my engine too much to up the boost if I go for the remap?Its fine to up the boost to 18psi without any issues at all. Its worth doing. Any higher and you need the boost limit raised + uprated MAP or a boost box (not a fan imo)

I've never had to do it on mine but you need an SD card, 2gb-4gb. Then I think it's something to do with the blue SD card button on screen but don't quote me on that. Daniel will explain it better!I think I may take the plunge and get a remap... quite happy with how she is running at the moment but she is 13 years old now so not new by all means... does anyone know if it’s hard to record live data so I can send it off to storm tuning?
All the best
Can’t see why you’d prefer to send the ecu off when Mike at Dynachip comes to you and all at a very reasonable cost.
A plug in "power box" is tricking the ECU with false inputs which will make it to deliver more power and in all the cases i've seen the EGT was increased, it has nothing to do with the fuel map so a name like "chip tuning" for a device like that is a lie, it's not remapping any chip nor contains any fuel map it just mixes up the inputs which the ECU uses for fuelling while the ECU works with the same fuelling data saved in it's EEPROM but will manage the engine based on some altered inputs...Everyone always sounds off about not getting a 'plug-in and play' chip, or a standard chip because they are just a generic map/maps that you can choose between, and they don't take into account engine discrepancies etc,
I’ve had a few maps off Mike at Dynachip including a 200 bhp one and in all cases he showed the fuel parameters and other settings on his laptop then adjusted the fuel graph, we took it for a thrash and altered settings as we deemed necessary until we were happy with the outcome, then had another run, checked for faults and job done. I’d say that’s a bespoke map, which is more than can be done with plug and play or generic maps, all inclusive of his travelling to you £225,Everyone always sounds off about not getting a 'plug-in and play' chip, or a standard chip because they are just a generic map/maps that you can choose between, and they don't take into account engine discrepancies etc, but neither does a dynachip re-map.
I have a dynachip remap that has transformed the vehicle, but all mike did in regards to 'checking' the engine was plug his fault code reader and clear the faults. We didn't even run it to see if any faults came back before he did the remap. The remap was just a generic map, that had a better torque curve to it, bit it was still a generic map.
All a remap is doing is changing the ignition timing and therefore fueling...so surely this is what a plug in and play chip is doing?
Im genuinely interested to know what the difference is?
I wanted an IRB developments remap as they seem a cut above and are highly recommended, however getting hold of them is nigh on impossible!

if you mean ''plug and play" remapped chip to swap the chip in the ECU it's a different story even though it's not simply plug and play at first cos you have to unsolder the original chip and fit in a socket for the new chip
a profesional remap will work in the EEPROM and modify values within the fuel map as to optimise the engine's performance using real inputs from the sensors and injectors, a "new generation" remap(which is lately used by most serious providers) will modify the AFR, smoke limiters, torque limiters, IQ, etc., all in conjunction to get the best performance ... IMO it's a huge difference between a ''plug and play" external device and a well made remap
