In all fairness, mine was probably as low as they get, it wasnt running right. Great improvement though :)

From 323bhp, it is now 436bhp and 472nm. The car feels a great deal better. It never used to do 70mph in second gear either. :beerchug:
So why was it only 323bhp? Carbon and a vacuum leak I presume?
And what mods did you have in the end? Remap?

At first, doug said a flap was sticking and likely because of carbon and/or vacuume issues. The car was in limp mode. I put a k&n panel filter in just 2 days before and caf but didnt agree with the car so he changed it for one of their own filters.

The car was carbon cleaned, de flapped, pre cats are gone and stage 2 map. It has a standard exhaust system but for what it is, won't make any real difference.

I meant I would take it a day through the week, leave at 5am like we did, stay till it was done and bring it back to you same day. Id leave mine with you in the mean time. Just an option mate as they are probably best for the job really. Anyway, I wouldnt mind so the offer is there. Just give me a bit notice :bigblink:

Or hotel overnight with the Mrs. Or drive down, train back, train down, drive back. I left my car at Unit 20 sooo many times. Would not like leaving it anywhere that wasn't reputable though so those three would be fine. Imagine what a giddy kid you'd be whilst you waited.

When I had my suspension done at Unit20 I had the car delivered on the back of a flatbed then got a train up there to pick it up when ready. When you take into account how much tank of fuel costs to drive there and a hotel for the night then the cost of the flat bed is not so bad.
