Well this van I had mk6 LWB High Top 75ps believe it or not on a flat road it would reach 93MPH on the satnav.

After being remapped by the remapping GURU Martin, same bit of road M25 satnav read at 97mph

Mk6 before sunvisor = 83mph (100ps T260)
Mk7 before sunvisor = 101mph (110ps T260)
and both after sunvisor = about 82mph


s**t i forgot about that maybe i should not go flat out at times :shock: :lol:

Mate its a bit hard having all that power and not thrashing it, besides I have a lil poxy 75ps LWB H/T (remapped) So when i drove this 200ps I was well shocked. But I must say i personally thought the main boost of power kicks in on 3rd? 1st and 2nd is fast but not as fast as you would like but 3rd boy it goes. must be something to do with the turbo i guess? The standard 200ps will leave things like a mk4/5 Golf gti standing i would have thought!

Also how comes you only got an exra 30ps after the bluefin? There is another guy on here with a 200 ps who I think has had it remapped to 250ps That would seem about right so how comes you dont get as much from a bluefin? :?

Hopefully 1 day I will be able 2 afford 1 :cry:

You wana swop for my 75ps :?: :?

yes mate i no the guy your on about grantves .i emailed asking him the same thing about the power and he said he ony put it up to that power cos its own van and if he was remapping it for anyon else he would put it up to 230-240bhp.only reason i went for the bluefin is that if anything goes wrong under warranty the cover it under their 'warranrt'. as for 1st and 2nd gear a place i do work as just bought one too and they said the same thing but once its remapped you should feel it in second gear

1978 CI motorhome (bed over cab type) with early DI fitted would do an indicated 73mph on the satnav (84 on speedo)
same bus with york 2.4 (after DI drank its oil coming back from margate one night)will pull indicated 62mph on the flat although have had a 68 out of it the once..

think the back axle ratio is the killer as even at 70 mph the bloody thing dont sound like its much over tickover lol.. how can I tell what one its got in? oh 4 spd OD gearbox too
