kerry 10 Report post Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) so i took my car to gavin today, e30 m52tu 2.8l we run it up and the base map was 163rwhp. i did not think it was that bad, anyway we got to work and after a few hours he had her singing at a sweet 195.5rwhp,gavin said could have hit 200 or a bit more but he said he didnt want to let it leave knowing that it could be unhealthy or wot not. as for bang for buck i couldnt have spent better money anywhere, 30 horse on a re-map im over the moon. so on the way home it decided to rain!! well f**k me, i went to pass a truck in 5th and dropped to 4th and fully stepped out sideways shocked as i was i managed to correct it. (few). chinese rear tires i will add all in all gavin is the man. will get pic of last dyno run when i can Edited October 22, 2009 by kerry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tonylauno1 7 Report post Posted October 22, 2009 as for bang for buck i couldnt have spent better money anywhere, 30 horse on a re-map im over the moon. so how much is remap? I have a m52tu as well, would be nice to have all the hp like when new. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forrest 35 Report post Posted October 22, 2009 ^ Aren't they roughly $1000? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 34 Report post Posted October 22, 2009 Depends on how long they take. If you budget $1000 you won't get a nasty surprise, but it may be cheaper if its fairly straightforward (this is based on my experience with Gavin. Mine cost over $1000 but was a FI tune from scratch) Kerry - Gavin's dyno reads a tad low, so in reality you're probably cracking 200hp. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
