Is it wrong to be nervous?
Dropping the car off at MSD this weekend for a live map and I'm bricking it for some reason
Knowing my luck I'll get a call on Monday letting me know its thrown a leg out of bed or something.
Thats provided we don't get sunk on the way

Its healthy to be a tad nervous pal, read this, sounds like you between points 9 and 12.

I'm with you on the nerves.
My mapping is next week.
I've been out of the game for a while so it makes me a little nervous
Good luck!

Why do the Guys at MSD need to keep hold of a car for a week to do a live map ?

In order to complete a set up, then fit all the gear, and carry out several cold starts in order to perfect it, then mapping, just takes some time, we only get one chance of a real world cold start per day.
Then theres the problems to deal with..
If someone takes a car from anyone for a full blown live map and its back with you by the next day, i would be seriously questioning the quality of the job, because it takes time.

Can I just query, I know you cant really "live map" an MFi unit, so how does the set up you do work on that?

Wasn't nervous at all when NMS mapped mine, but that was 350hp. I think I'd definitely be more nervous with the more power expected!

what would you say in your words is a fully blown live map then james ??
Surely a standard engine with a well known turbo a average cossie tuner would have a calibration file good enough as i know there would be very little or none at all setup with cold start and idle on the webber ! If you were talking bigger cams ect then i say yeh a few cold starts maybe to check it out due to the idle changes
