    Ok, so i am thinking of getting my anni remaped but i do not have a clue who the best company is to go with and are there any issues i should have to worry about like my engine/turbo going kuput!

    Any recomendations will be much apreciated like company, BHP gain i will get out of it and i would prefer to go for a lower BHP if the reliability is better?

    Or should i just not do it?

    Thanks  Yes

    Custom code ST3 looks good. Its what i have been looking at. You will have your standard map plus two others  from the list below and will be able to switch between them.

    Economy = +25bhp and 50nm

    Race = +40bhp and  100nm

    Track = +45-53 bhp 105-110nm

    go for Revo my friend...i had mine done at them and i am enjoying the drive. i had mine mapped by someone else before and didnt had much joy out of it.

    i get around 37 mpg as well, not bad i guess for a mapped car.

    midrange power with Revo is MIND BLOWING !!

    Party!!!

    On my own car I ran a evolution map for 50,000 for over 2 years without any clutch issue but then again I wasn't running 219hp more like 190ish.
