Rollers are not important to do a good job anyway.. They save time for the operator/tuner which is a good thing for both the company and the customer due to labour charges. + Obviously you get a graph... A good tuner will road test the final map to make sure the setup is 100% in REAL road situations. Thats what counts bottom line that the engine and map are matched not what power you have!

That is the limit of the ECU, you have to change it for the OFAB one.

Had a bad experience, escort cos was there 4 full days to fit anti-lag and live map.charged alot of money,had to change fuel pump,phase sensor rotor arm leads,because power was dropping off sharply at 6000 rpm.Said i would need a new ecu and tried to flog me a t-6.Got home ripped everything he fit to the car and went back to a turbosystems chip.Over a year later still never missed a beat all the way to the limiter . Verdict- waste of money

If you see Paul, tell him to contact the "Finnish P8 guy". I hope he will understand.
