3.6 or 4.4??

Personally, I wouldn't bother. The car is quick enough already, and remapping for more power will only stress the engine components, ahem, turbos more.

Depends. 3.6 definatly makes it better in my oppinion. Couldn't comment on the 4.4. If the turbo goes it won't be the map that does it. It will just show up a problem that was waiting to happen. You remind me of a young me, not much younger mind, perhaps even a little older!

Go for a reputable remap though.

Some of the remaps out there are scary, and are ticking time bombs...

Bluefin super chips have been doing maps since the dawn of time. I rate them very highly. Know lots of people with different cars that have used bluefin. Excellent customer service as well. You remind me of a young me, not much younger mind, perhaps even a little older!

To clarify, when I said reputable, I meant a company that specializes in remapping LR/RR's, and have spent time on the dyno refining said maps

Thumbs Up

Would only be BAS or JE Engineering for me.

I went with BAS as it could be done remotely - JE are a 9-5 Mon-Fri only deal

He says he can get it done for £200 Shocked and i told him if it was mine i would not do it its a 4.4 but at the end of the day its down to him all i could give was my opinion. Wink
I will let you know what he decides Whistle Whistle he has over £20k in the car verses £200 to map it Censored that.
