Took the day off work on Friday to up to Stockport to get my car remapped by Rik at Unicorn and very happy with the result. Car just pulls much harder throughout the rev range and loves to rev to the limit. 1st and 2nd gear grip seems to be an issue with our current weather in the UK but not a lot I can do about that!
BHP/Torque figures before and after on his dyno were:
192bhp & 208ft/lbs
to
243bhp & 243ft/lbs
Engine had the ability to be mapped further but to keep the DSG within safe limits (7-speed dry-clutch), he had to cap the power and torque there. But for a car that probably weights not a lot more then 1300kg's the 50bhp and extra torque has really made a big difference.
Was hoping to get the long awaited DSG map on too but had some teething issues so will be making a return visit at some point when Rik is about to get that sorted.
Rik's knowledge on tuning and the results mean I can't recommend him enough.
The extra boost has allowed my BCS Powervalve to become considerably louder too. I guess my car never used to quite create enough boost to open the valves at certain parts of the rev range but now it just sounds epic when you're going for it.
