Whiny 77 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 I have an Arosa sport that's ready to go for it's MOT after been off the road for quite a while, I've done a fair bit of work on the engine. It's got schrick cams, Ashley manifold & exhaust system, lightened flywheel, gas flowed head, BMC, new leads & plugs ect!! Now I'm looking to get a full remap but I have a few questions as to what to look for in a mapping service. I popped over to Stealth Racing in Coventry today just to have a quick chat about a map & costing, now they quoted me about £500 for a full rolling road. They also said it depends on which type of ECU I have in the car. One make he said is Bosch & the other is (I can't remember the name, but it started with a 'M'). Now he said the Bosch are easier to work on & the other one is a right pain. I'm after anyones help & advice on what's right as far as pricing plus who's the best to go to.

CasperGTI Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Motronic?£500 is quite steep, i wouldn't even pay that for a full remap session at emerald for my standalone ecu.Awesome gti in Manchester will do it for a fair bit less, and it will be exactly the same thing. Send awesomeal a PM about it.Plus awesome's rolling road is much more accurate than stealth "over read" racings.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiny 77 Posted August 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Yeah I thought £500 was a bit pricey, it's hard to find places that know what their talking about let alone with a reasonable distance, the only reason I looked at stealth racing is because I'm in Birmingham & Coventry isn't too far really but for £500!! You can do one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiny 77 Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 No I haven't had rolling roaded yet, I got the cams off eBay a while ago. I just so happened to see them for sale & just thought I'll grab them. I'm hoping for a noticeable different to the standard sport engine.

Whiny 77 Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 I'm pretty sure one of my old mini coopers was done over that way years ago. I'll also give that place a call to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiny 77 Posted August 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Car passed MOT fine, already put the de-cat back on but I got to say the car doesn't feel that quick. Waiting to finish off my cold air feed system then just got to wait for Awesome to start doing there remaps again. I don't know if it's been such a long time since I've drove the car, but also I haven't been pushing it but I got to say I'm pretty disappointed at this stage. I don't think it helps that I also have a Ibiza cupra TDi which is a monster with all that torque. Hopefully once it's been remapped it'll all tie in with the rest of the modds & tuning, otherwise I think I'll be selling her & just stick to my cupra.

Whiny 77 Posted September 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 No, it's completely standard at the moment. The car is quick enough at the moment plus tuning diesel's always put's the clutch under heavy strain.As for the comment about your old man running Stealth is about as useful as a glass hammer. So as to compete with that comment I work at Cadburys and can get £100 worth of chocolate from anywhere between £1.50-£10.00, "So There" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leweylupo Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 My dad runs stealth racing, my full custom remap is free!Why not ask your dad for a special club price for us all then ??I need mine doing as well & am also waiting for awesome clearly there is a market but price needs to be competitive as 500.00 is a rip off AMD charge £300-£350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiny 77 Posted September 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I'm still looking for somewhere to do a remap on my car, I've phoned Awesome Gti and the earliest they might be doing them again is proberly about the new year time they said. Stealth Racing are having a laugh wanting £500 for one, so l'm back to square-one in looking for a place to do a custom rolling road remap. Does anyone know of anywhere descent plus they have to know what there doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbo Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 If your willing to travel, try RS Tuning in Leeds. I've never used them myself but heard plenty of local people raving about them. http://www.rstuning.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
