   Do some research first couse what you said dont make sense. Why buy a chip to remap it
   
   Its like buying a remap then remapping it again. Chips are just generic anyway so youll see more gain from a remap.

    if you brought a vtr and mapped it you would get the the same preformance as a vts.

    Depends where he bringed it to!
    
    Man this thread is shit. Why would you remap a car that hasn't had serious modification? Don't bother, do a bit of research, it's not difficult. Most people do air mods then cams, then remap. Some cams require a remap iirc. No point mapping a standard car, or even one with basic air mods I don't think.

    so your sayin he could get a 90/98 bhp car to 120bhp with just a map?
    
    or do you mean once spending some money on it he could get 120bhp after all the other bits and a map?

    Most people use a "mappable" chip to "map" anyway, so technically you have to chip the ecu first to then map it lol

    I was taking the piss out of the fact he said "brought" instead of "bought". Then I thought I better put something that may be of use instead of just taking the piss. There is no way that a remap could get a VTR at the same level as a VTS I don't think, not 100% sure but I very much doubt it...

    he will probs never come back online lol
    
    na i dont think its pos but i dont know loads lol but think about how much brake you ruffly get out of the parts you buy... then all a map does is make them work together
    
    mines camed,cda air box, 4-2-1 mani and straight pipes, vtr inlet..... at the mo its runin 87bhp (its a furio) once mapped ill be lucky to reach 100 i think

    It wouldbe possible if somehow you could make the engine 100% efficient. But that's never gonna happen so is technically impossible with the standard charge air capacity

    s'oright done some research now, think im gonna lower it, do all air mods want a supersprint system, then cam it then map it, was looking at stroker kits, but could be abit too expensive.
