ive heard paul hills is from a rally background and tends to do his maps rich. He mapped my friends car (well a base map atleast of a 2.0 mondeo downloaded free from omex and charged him around Ł500 for it and the engine was a zetec turbo). like i said though, its what ive heard and not from experience

My monte was mapped there when Wenny had it, the third time he took it out after being mapped it melted 2 pistons, when we looked at it the actuator had been piped into the comp housing of the turbo but with a T piece in the middle so it was basically bleeding off constantly and not connected to the amal valve like it should have been, Ian Howells can tell you a story or 2 aswell and he deffo isnt the type of bloke to bullshit.
