If they're just dumping a standard map onto your ECU then no it won't be worth it but if the have a learning ECU it will be !!

That sounds about right.. I wonder whats the new filter they've considered using? Augusto from Red Dot recommended the induction pipe from GSR engineering and a modified airbox from a 3.0 GTV with a cotton filter as being "the best" induction solution.. GSR charge £350 for that silicone pipe alone!

The BMC CDA & Remap package from Angel is very good value if you ask me. I got this package and Nige spent about an hour and a half on a cold January morning fitting the CDA and then remapping it for £300 all in. Couldn't fault that.

Yep, my clutch started slipping straight away, but when Nige tested the car before the remap & CDA he did say it would probably need one if he stuck the 'mad map' on..
