Not bad! - only joking. It goes very well and was well worth the cost.
My drive to Performance Torque on Saturday morning was just over 100 miles of dual-carriageway (A14) and motorway (M6) and some normal rather congested roads around Wolverhampton so I had a good chance to take note of how the car was behaving.
After the remap I went out through some country type roads with Will Spooner to see how the car had changed. It felt very much smoother, still just as quiet and with more torque in the mid-range.
On the way home I used much the same route as going and found myself doing nearly 100mph on the M6 before I realised. The car seemed to rev much more easily in 6th that it did on the way there. Again at a couple of roundabouts the mid-range torque was evident again.
On the way there I checked the DIS for the overall mpg for the 8000 miles from new and it was around 44mpg. I also checked the mpg for the particular journey to Performance Torque and it showed around 43mpg. The same check when I got home showed 46mpg so a small improvement in mpg as well.
Will Spooner is a great chap and I would have no hesitation in recommending him and Performance Torque to anyone wanting a remap.
I think it was money well spend and much cheaper than buying a 170 in the first place. The difference between the 140 and 170 is £930 where as I paid £295 for similar performance to a 170 and probably much smoother through the mid-range if my previous 170 is anything to go by.
The normal price is £345 but I was given a £50 discount as an ASN member. The price does include the lovely bacon sandwich and mug of tea I had in the small café a few yards away from PT premises!!.
All in all a very worthwhile exercise. It will be interesting to see what difference it makes to the top end of the speed range when I visit Germany again next Easter.
No dyno check was done on the car as PT only have a two wheel dyno and the ECU in the A3 will cut the power if the rear wheels are not turning at a similar speed to the front wheels.
