A recommendation for Don Norchi at Kalmar Union for all kinds of engine, suspension and braking Mods. He does MTE remaps.

0208 959 3230. ( Can sometimes be difficult to contact but do persevere )

I have one of these remaps on my car(MTE)and it transforms your car.

The best result you get when combining this with an exhaust upgrade,

full system(catalyc converter,downpipe and the end pipe)combined it should

five close to 300 ponies and 430/440 nm.A nice way to start.
