ThermalP4 1 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Yours will be OBD2 if its a 1997 mate. Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 your best pm is to pm Jim directly mate, the maps he does are United Motorsports ones which are very good as for chasing numbers well 200bhp is acheivable with exhaust 6 branch cams filter map etc but the main benefit of a map is the driveability and power delivery is much better but yeah he is a good bloke Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 I dont think you will get 200 from a back box filter and remap.....if only it was that easy.Most of us know Jim personally so can vouch for him quite easily Link to post Share on other sites
jims13 6 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Yeh your car is obd2 , the map will be future proof , so u can add stuff and it will adapt to a point . All of the obd2 cars map.well , not a massive gain in bhp, but trq and driveability are massively improved , we also managed 42 mpg on a recent trip.to.Stafford.and.back . If u give is a ring ee can talk through options , number is in my Sig . Link to post Share on other sites
