I have a 19T and custom remap thanks to VT. Ali drove it last weekend and I think he was pleasantly suprised (yes you can say so if you wish!?)

On the old fan she ran *with a slightly dodgy throttle body -> I/C pipe - 250 Bhp at the wheels/ 252ft/lbs. Torque is very flat between 230 and 252 - as is the power.

She has now been properly fettled (upgrading always shows up little weaknesses) - and the speed/acceleration is stunning.

As an auto the power is relentless. 2nd gear pulls 0.8bar @ 3000rpm rising to 1.0 - 1.1 by 5K+.

3rd pushes and holds 1.3 bar from about 3500 all the way to 6500 and then 4th is about the same. I tend - when driving hard to hold her in position 3 - which gives a huge speed range. It gets a bit naughty speed wise in 4th.

I LOVE THIS CAR! IT PROPER !@*&S OFF!

I also like Ali's, but I still feel that RICA is the way to go.
