Anyway I also discussed engine remapping while there and he said he does it himself!!! I have known him for years and he strikes me as someone capable of making the analysis etc, he said he has done over 500 cars so far, anyways he recons he can get me another 40 BHP and extra economy on Diesel for 300 Euros and I get the X back the same day, so I am definitely gonna do some more research and get back to him on that one.
What are your views on remapping Powers1? Does it sound like a good deal?

Sorry !I am standing back in amazement with time period of the work done in your car!Ok..lets recap here,you were going to order a turbo from UK on Friday and today ,just 1 working day after and you have the turbo already fitted in your car..Unbelievable
My views on re-mapping ,well what can I say!I am a bit bias,really since I been doing re-maps on a daily basis for the last 6 years or so
Yes!But make sure its a specific re-map for your car done by someone who knows what they are doing and NOT someone who reads the file off your car then sends it to someone else,who then sends back a modded "common" file.
300-350.00 euros is about what I charge in Portugal ,In Uk ,we charge £350.00(about €400.00)so,the price you were quoted is a good deal.
You say that he can get an extra 40 bhp,which is safe but what about the torque,which is more important for the sake of autobox reliability.
One other thing!Was the price of the oil €50.00 and what brand???????
