re-map ph1 172

[freeman(clio)]

ive got a ph1 172,

matched inlets,
cat back exhaust,
v6 airbox,


soon to have decat, and ktec stealth.

question is, does a fastchip map make much difference on this setup ?

?

Yes but smoother power delivery and better idle

waste of money TBH

I had my 182 fastchip mapped and it was the best 100 quid I've spent on the car. I'm sure it has similar effects on a ph1 aswel.

100 for a map is just a flash not mapped.! ive been tuning cars for many years and on a 2.0 oem engine its not worth getting the ecu re mapped for the cost involved

Have you ever drove a 1*2 that's had a fastchip map put on?

I've got 1 and the difference is night and day, peak power isn't everything, drivability is.
