Default Just back from MSD Towers.......

Been over to MSD today, after a measley 4 hours sleep (finished work at 6am this morning ) to get the E39 remapped.

What can I say that sums it up in a few words - fucking incredible!

The DSC had a bit of a hissy fit at the first bit of damp road and right foot action in 1st, 2nd and 3rd so DSC off and its the wheel spin massive

The car has been totally transformed - absolutely amazing. Period!

The return journey cruising at 80mph with the cruise control on and the MPG needle never dropped below 50mpg even when faced with the steep Windy Hill climbing upto the M62 summit, which is amazing considering it only did 45mpg on the way up there!

Power wise - amazing gain, foot down and off you go, Unbeleivable bags of torque and hardly any black smoke neither

Top work by the MSD boys yet again! Anyone who has a performance Derv get it to MSD for the treatment it deserves!!!!!!!


On another note, the latest MSD tuning product is now available for your home.

Introducing the MSD Bog Swamper - the ultimate cabletie mod for the ultimate flushing feeling

A 150 CDTi astra remapped can hold it's own with a VXR. He won't be far short of 200bhp.

Sounds awesome. Ive driven both the 330d and 530d in standard form and there quick as they are so it must be amazing now.

How much does this cost to have done then mate if you dont mind me asking? I assume yours was 184bhp to start with? Do you know what its upto now? PM me if you like mate.

Mine was the latter version so slightly higher power to start with - I think it was 205bhp standard Now somewhere in the region of 240bhp and 380 lb/ft torque

The price is on Stu's website - www.remapping.co.uk

Actually Paul, we have dealers who may well travel to him.

Look for your nearest Evolution Chips Genius dealer, denoted on the map with a blue icon.
