also, would prefer the likes of red dot to do the map as they use a rolling road. recently mapped a car up here with the same map as has been used on two identical cars to great succes and saw a dramatic LOSS in performance. the rolling road showed this and we were able to modify the map to suit the individual engine.
I generally agree with that.
I used some ebay maps to test that the boost pipes could sustain higher pressure before going to red dot as I had fitted a FMIC and a few other hardware mods, it wouldn't have been much cop going to red dot and all the pipes blowing off!
That said, i left on an ebay map on the car, it produced 192bhp on red dots rolling road and it was not an easy task to beat, although he did!
I wouldn't mess about too much with ebay maps unless you can monitor the boost levels and have knowledge of whats going on. I found the vast majority of maps on an ebay disc to be pretty useless, but as I said, there was 1 gem on it.
My advise would be either, beware, or take it to red dot.
