Didnt cost me 500. Cost me 400 all up. He spent more than 5 hours on the car to get it right. I even came back the next day.
From memory a total of 7 plus hours all up. . Didn't ask for a cent more.
Also its a lot cheaper than power fc
Who wants to spent 1.5 - 2k on a tune including powerfc to gain the same results.
The reason why i did a remap was because there was no need for me to go bigger turbo. I wasn't going to spend anymore money on the car.
Now you can always go bigger turbo, fuel pump etc and he will tune it for you... Same cost!!
Hope this helps change your view on remap.
But you are right, not for everyone. But it was for me and that's all it matters
Im very happy with my results. Even been proven on the track at Wakefield!!
Gdluck with your trail testings as well!! Hope it works out
