No. I do not want my vote altered.

I am recomending Ian at IRB. No one else. (who ever you think may have done the cumputer work), although I have been told by Pete at BAS himself that his and Ians remaps are different. (I have no probs with others), but it is him, his service, and the way he goes about doing the work.

So as said, MY vote is Ian @ IRB

Hi Andy,

Sorry I did not mean to cause any conflict or in any way say anything against Ian - I know him and a better bloke would be hard to find. His service/the way he works is not in question and again I am sorry if you thought thats what I was saying.

Niether can I alter your vote, but as like many of the tuners out there offering re-maps someone is writing them and either the seller takes the credit or they tell you who is behind the re-map. In this case it is BAS as is the case with many others - I think this point will become clearer in time as some things are changing  Gas, Grass Or Ass - Nobody Rides For Free

"UNDERSTEER" ----is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" ------is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" ----is how fast you hit the fence.
"TORQUE" -----------is how far you take the fence with you.

BIGFOG, yes i have made the EGR in the mapping to not open or be used, it still needs to be electriclly connected but is non functional now.

i have a few more tests to do on some standard cars to prove reliability of the process and it will be then available for the public.

Great news Pete, it's a topic that's been hotly debated in this forum as I'm sure you know, I hope your trials go well, if they do you'll be a popular man!
Will it be a 'bolt on' to existing maps that you have done or does it work differently?

Cheers

remaps aren't for me. i'm often in remote places and I dont want to have an issue due to someone messing with the software. a defender isnt an aerodynamic shape anyway, so I kind of dont see the point in trying to improve its performance when the torque and acceleration are more than adequate (for me)

your sentiments are in part why I wanted the re-map. I wanted the egr OUT to improve reliability. I personally don't see how chucking exhaust gases into the engine can ever make sense from a longevity perspective.

to boot I now have something that is far more driveable than I've ever experienced (defender wise) and to boot approx. 30% more torque at low rpm. to my mind the smooth driving and reduced need to rev the engine all add to improved reliability of transmission. and improved economy.

and for those that like bells n whistles - launch control. however probably like yourself it's adequate without it.
