Anyone remapped their PD100?
Anyone remapped their PD100?
As title says, anyone done this?
What sort of gains did you get? How much quicker did it make the car after it was done?
Cheers

I had mine Custom Coded by JBS last week and it's ace (my car's standard apart from a PD160 intake and a Green filter). Yes, it's out and out faster, but it's so much more usable - the car now pulls hard from about 1500 pretty much all the way to 4500. All of which means that the power is there when you need it and you're not trying to hit a tiny powerband in order to drive quickly.
In short: big hike in power, massively more driveable and really smooth. I can't recommend Custom Code highly enough. It's one of those things you get done and you never know how you ever did without it...

Yes Richard, that was my car at JBS on Thursday. Unfortunately, I wasn't with it at the time (a small operation in hospital kept me away). Luckily my dad is on holiday at the minute, so he took it down, God bless him.
Went to pick up my wheel centres from the powder coaters yesterday - they are an interesting colour, not what I was expecting, but it's going to be different and I think it will work - just waiting for my torque wrench to arrive now...
Picking up some Pagid pads this afternoon and some new discs are in the post as well - it's all starting to come together nicely!
You were at JBS on Thursday then?

I've not really seen any difference. I averaged just over 50mpg before and after the map. Most of my driving is to and from work (70 miles a day on single carriageway A-roads) so there's not much at a constant speed. That said, I tend not to hang about. When I've been on longer runs (motorways, at 80ish) I've managed about 52-55mpg after the map.
Even if you're getting more than the above at the minute, I still think the economy's pretty good. I feel fairly sure in saying that once you've had it mapped, you won't understand how you ever managed without it.
