IDGM Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 ok, picked it up today and got it remapped already too damn i can't help myself! I know the maps on diesels can have a benefit to MPG, is the same true on turbo petrols (to a point)? Maybe a daft question, but I've never really looked into it before.

Maybe a daft question, but I've never really looked into it before.yes it's the same on turbo'd petrol cars. it has made a massive massive difference and it's like a totally different car. allegedly gained 40-50bhp so around 260-270bhp and should be around 300-330ft/lb of torque. it feels like it, but really i wouldn't like to make any claims of power till it's been on a dyno, but the amount of torque it now has is silly.i have the dreamscience stratagem handset which basically has 5 different maps on it....Performance (A marked improvement on std keeping its character)Performance+ (A surprisingly rewarding map, like Performance, but a bit more oomph)Race (More boost than perf+ and less impact than Race+ suitable for full mods)Race+ (amazing response and instant kick)DSCI (More boost and torque for more of the revs a much more of a drivers map very progressive great for modified and part modified alike, a great basis for things to come)each map has different characteristics and you can revert to stock at any time, and upload each map to your car as many times as you want. i am running the DSCI map at the moment which is the most agressive as boost kicks in higher up the range and harder and gives you that classic turbo'd car feel. the other maps are more progressive.very very pleased with the performance so far, going fast is effortless.

matt~black Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 wow 24mpg isn't bad my gti averages not much more than that with far less power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDGM Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 It all sounds peachy.I think I'm going to have a proper think about the Fiesta in the new year. The practicality and durability (trim) of the 5-door ST would probably swing it over a Leon Cupra as a family hauler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
