Re: I guess I'm the Guinea Pig then...
Okay. Before everyone starts harping on about I should have done this, should have done that, what a waste of money, how can you be sure, your talking b******s etc etc I did this for a few reasons...
1) To see what all the hype was about.
2) Had some disposable cash.
3) Share my own experience and thoughts.
4) Share my first impressions.
5) Help others perhaps who are contemplating the same mod make a decision.
I've done some unscientific comparisons in the absence of any "real" testing and supporting information so take this with a pinch of salt. (Results posted later).
Some of you may remember me asking if anyone had had their C2S re-mapped by DMS. No one seemed to have done it at that point in time but there was quite a discussion on how a re-map costing Pounds800 could reap almost the same power benefits of a Pounds5,000 X51 upgrade. (Easy, you were nearly right
) I'm not going to profess it does either as I just don't know.
What I do know is that DMS turned up this morning and very kindly set about having their wicked way with my ECU.
It took about 11/2 hours to complete and I took it for a spin. Well I cannot say for sure that there is a 23BHP and 30lb/ft2 torque, an increase of 6% over the standard BHP figure, but what I can say there is a difference.
The car is certainly hunting more and pulls smoother through the entire rev range up to 7,000 rpm. There is still a kick at 4,000 and another at 5,500 but it seems to get from 4k to 5.5k a tad quicker. The car seems more drivable if that makes sense. There is instant power delivery when braking for a bend (Heel and Toeing) and then applying the accelerator on the apex, it seems quicker out of the bends.
Anyway, I need some more time with it and I'll report back with my unscientific findings hopefully later tonight.
There is certainly a gain, whether it's in BHP or Torque who knows, but the driving experience has certainly changed in a good way.

Re: I guess I'm the Guinea Pig then...
Congratulations on taking the plunge..
All i want to hear is whether you can definately 'feel' a perceptible difference...
people who upgrade to the X51 always report a definite increase in power..yet people who just get chip'd in my experience are never quite as sure..
are you 100% certain that the car infact feels faster/torque'ier' and that you are not just trying to justify your own purchase post hoc?
Either way you have a wonderfull machine and even if the difference isn't particularily noticable I hope you continue to have a good time!

Re: I guess I'm the Guinea Pig then...
Just been thinking about that actually. I've not had any of my car dyno'ed before so I'm not sure where I can get it done. There's "Well Lane Turbo Centre" which is fairly local. I need to do a little more research as I feel I need to have this done.
