Angel's map I certainly have no complaints about, it is truely awesome and makes the car feel so grunty. Ive not driven anything that gives you such a shove in the back as the JTD does. The only complaint I have was it doesn't have as much power as I was told it has, by about 20-25 brake..

I'm still a good +40bhp up from standard though, maybe +45.. A rolling road before and after would be preferential, if you can trust it to be set up so as not to show you have gained more power than you really have..

Wasn't an early 2.0 JTS by any chance was it? I've seen a thread where one of them was rolling roaded at 105bhp (60bhp down!!
