carson_sri is it worth paying the money to remap an astra 2.2. does anyone know how how much extra horse power it gives you.
evocarlos without mods hardly worth it i never had mine done in the 8 years of ownership had read upto 5% gain
evocarlos carson_sri said: its not worth the cash then for 5%. how the super charging coming along i dont think so only worth it with supporting mods 🙂 £30 of fuel 130 miles so far 29.9mpg and just can't stop making it whine 🙂
Sjdickso Waste of time and money, I learnt the hard way, paid ££ and didn't get any increase lol, If you have a few mods let the ecu learn only when going to the magic 200bhp with serious mods I would consider a map and then talk to Courtney Sport.

evocarlos instant sucks ass i only use the constant 🙂 i play the lets get highs mpg game when im not booting it
evocarlos i've kept my z22se ecu for the charger mod and will just pay someone with a rolling road to tune it right eventually 🙂 looked at megasquirt but theres no point if your ecu can be made fully mappable which it can and ive kept all the immobiliser t/c cruise control , climate control and all the standard vauxhall fault warning lights
evocarlos chris bennett said: you can do away with most of the sensors too and launch control 🙂 still to the point the standard ecu can do the job just fine 🙂 for way less then fitting an aftermarket ecu unless you got a turbo theres not much point in L/C and with less than 300hp 🙂
