3.0sd pre and post remap (also economy)

Post by celica » Sun Aug 24, 2014 9:50 pm

What sort of mpg were people getting pre and post remap on a 3.0sd?

Performance wise I bet throttle and pick up between the two turbos are smoother and quicker

I have a remapped 3.0sd, personally I've not noticed a huge change in overall mpg as I only ever do short round town trips in my car.  However on a long run she averaged 28mpg over a week down in cornwall which I thought was pretty good.

350bhp and 700+nm of torque make for a punchy drive [emoji106]

How much did emaps charge, what process do they take ie live logging and did you specify anything or did they give you similar Bhp and torque figure?
