Is it standard, if so just wait until you get a Stage 1 or more, it really wakes it up and gives you the biggest grin............... :lol:

yea its standard and it kicks in just as it should. However its off to MRC on friday am for a health check...which has now turned into a custom remap :? much to the displeasure of the other half. Not sure i need the map but its £50 for the health check and £400 for the map inc the check so seems to make sence to do it at the same time (makes sence in my head) Not sure what to expect except even more power and less mpg! But what the hell only live once may as well live fast. Gona have to leave all cards at home can see me getting talked into full stage 3 :shock: ho hm :wink:

Assume you mean more fuel consumption due to planting the right foot more as I think you will be pleasantly surprised otherwise - a good remap may find you with better fuel consumption if you can resist the need - the need for speed. Not tempted for the custom remap then - to the even greater dismay of the other half :roll:

I assume you mean Gloucestershire? If so, there is a meet on the 11th April - take a look in the meets forum for more info.
