Big thank you to Nick and the boys @ R-Tech
took my little Fabia 1.9 Tdi (PD 100bhp ATD engine) for a basic remap and rolling road.
The guys went out of their way to make sure the car was good and healthy before applying a remap.
The car initially felt not too much quicker, so I asked Nick to see if he could do a bit more,
Nick rewrote the map, and once again handed me the keys..
Car felt quite a bit more lively, very very smooth (no sudden surges of power and therefore unwanted wheelspin out of wet junctions), and it now will hold the power towards the red line,
What I really love is how smooth the throttle is. R-tech's remaps don't have that aweful feeling you get (that many other remaps/tuners) have of an OVER SENSITIVE throttle.
The throttle is very much like stock, you have the full control over the full travel of the throttle pedal.
The rolling road confirmed that the car was now pulling
130bhp (compared to 115bhp stock!)
230lbs torque (compared to 200 stock!)
Loving the way the car drives now, you can bumble along as before and achieve good economy figures, or you can enjoy stronger power over a wider rev range than before.
So a big thumbs up for the guys Nick and the guys @ R-tech.
