On Boost
As you can see the Std car's are making well above " book " figures.
I'll leave you lot to chew on it for a bit , i'm going to bed!
Thanks lads , it was a great day , and a bit thanks to Prosport too!

That's really interesting!
Did we find out who was using what fuel????
A fascinating day - and great to put faces to some names (Kontraband doesn't even look like a drugsmuggler !). Cheers Leon.
My thoughts coming away were these: £450 gets you Bluefin - which offers ZERO gain over a standard S3. £600 gets you GIAC which offers around 11bhp over standard (compare Kontraband's and QuickNick's results). These figures suggest that remaps just aren't worth it unless you "do a jonny" and go the whole hog with different intakes and exhausts. Jonny your car was phenomenal - over 40bhp above Standard and WHAT A SOUND !
I came away thinking 2 things:
1. Remaps on their own aren't worth the small gains on show - you HAVE to mod further.
2. I wish I'd ordered white !! It is THE best colour.
Cheers for a truly fascinating day !
All the GIAC cars, mine, Chris's and JonnyC's have the hammer map, all 3 done by Statller in Sheffield I thinkwhich cars had the GIAC hammer map do you know?

The S3 running REVO...is he running software only? If so, those figures are awesome!
My Plot...
Great pics Leon white still looks best !
Let me put my point another way I think anyone contemplating a remap needs to be aware that the gains you will make (whether its bhp or lb/ft) are not the gains the companies selling you the map will claim.
Take Phantoms standard car and compare it with a GIAC remapped car. The facts are these:
Power (bhp) gain: 4% (294 up to 305)
Torque (lb/ft) gain: 8% (306 to 332)
GIAC themselves quote:
Power (bhp) gain: 17% (261 up to 306)
Torque (lb/ft) gain: 25% (258 to 323)
What any prospective re-mapper needs to decide is whether the ACTUAL gains of 4% and 8% are worth the investment.
