Put my foot down in 6th, straight into limp mode because of overboost. Guy said he had adapted an insignia map to suit it. Took it back and they changed it, no more limp mode but still hardly a difference, and poor fuel consumption.
Took it do a dyno, got figures of 167 bhp and 390nm. Torque has improved a little but hardly any bhp, 160 standard.
Now they are saying it's probably a turbo problem. I don't think it is tbh, any one had problems with remaps on this car? Or any suggestions what it could be? Thanks

Who was the re map done by ? I was disappointed with my map as my 160 only made it to 190 compared to some of the figures I have seen on here I felt it was low but still feels good to drive however i would be quite disappointed with the results yours achieved with their map

I would not buy the turbo issue.

I'm planning on having my done next year with DPF & EGR delete, I'm going to a place in Kent that @Dicko1 has used.

I would get them to remove the map give you a full refund and go elsewhere for it to be done.

The only way to have a map done that suits your car is on a dyno. It sounds to me this company are just using a fits all map and tweaking it here there without any tests.

but there is also a code to overcome before they can rewrite it not every mapper can do this
you have just been fobbed off they have not done it as there is no gain what so ever
if you had turbo problems you would be seeing large dips in power and as the dyno showed
your car is fine and putting out the correct bhp a couple of bhp either way is normal
so my conclusion is no job has been done they are fobbing you off and charging you for there time
i would only use a mapper who has mapped a 2.0 cdti 2012 to 2014 as that's when the ecu gets tricky to map
and the ecu has to be taken out

most likely trading standards for you mate
get them to put the standard map back on get your money back and go somewhere that can and has proven they can do it
