Hi, wondering if you guys can give me some advise please. I just had my car remapped last week and had the car dyno'd today.
The car before was running at 108.8bhp with 177lb ft. Now (or was) it was running 151bhp with 260 lb ft. But the boost has been tuned down and so I am currently running 138.5bhp with 209.9lb ft.
This is because I followed advise from some people saying that some of the components will be put under too much strain and so suggested anything over 140bhp is too much. Also I'd like to add the guy who did my remap suggested that it ran 9 C higher at 151bhp which may make the car go into limp mode in the warmer days.
So after this and getting my boost tuned down, some people now say that running 151bhp with 260 lb ft is fine and the components on my car should be able to run it albeit the obvious wear and tear on the turbo and gearbox, so they suggested that I go back and get the boost turned back up.
I am tempted to go back and get my boost turned back up if there is no problems, but as I am new to all this I just wanted some personal advise on this before I do.
thanks in advanced
