and to check with whoever wrote the software first as the map could be different!
id say yes always check the map when any changes are made i mean look at cossie4is graph rich as hell bottom end and no room for error mid and top end

Whilst the above is true, Jay my interpretation on this would be it very much depends on the quality of the map. If the map has been thoroughly checked and set up, it should be simply on a different part of the map, and as such should still be correct (again emphasis on depending on who mapped it!)

Correct me if I am wrong

Boost is boost, running a -34 will not lower the boost threshold so if your map was mapped by an expert fuel and ignition maps will not need changing.Boost maps will however need changing or the valve flow rate can be changed by changing the jets

As far as I am concerned, this echos my thoughts that the map would not require adjustment.

I accept the point about the rejetting of the amal valve, but this will be to achieve the required boost levels. 'Ceteris Parabus', if the boost is already being achieved as required, then no adjustement would be required.

i should imagine that no live map on a webber is wrote from start to finish a good tuner would hold a good file on various setups so when contacted to do a map for car they will pick thenearest file to it then make the nessesary adjustments thats needed hence a better map to suit small changes

but i may be wrong but if im not i would love to have a look at theres files bet theres some bloody good info

I think that you are probably right. I have done work with a local garage who tune various track cars. This is a slightly different skill, as there is little or no interest in cold running/ idle etc.

Interestingly, the guy that does it once he has had a bit of time with the car, can almost interpolate the rest of the map points based on a few initial runs!!!! Then he goes back and makes corrections till he is happy with the overall map. but even so, it is a rare skill in my opinion!
