it's getting mapped at enginetuner, already paid for it!!!

it's the garage doing my engine build that moved, can't complain too much cos they've done me a right deal, not really paying any labour; just parts! been doing it in their spare time and done a lot more than just engine work.

it's darren at d&p in fraddon, have heard good and bad but i have no complaints really, my fault for saying there's no rush!!

Where do you guys around the Newquay area get your highr RON fuel. When I had my GT4 when I first came down here I could only find the BP on a the A30 which is a good 10 minutes plus away and just inconvenient!

I don't understand why they don't put Ultimate in the BP in Newquay. I'm going to be sorting my engine out next year but don't know if I can be bothered to keep driving out my way for fuel. Probably just being lazy lol.

Why not use the bio-ethonel fuel at Morrison's in Newquay, it's getting better results than V-power and cheaper too defo cheaper than bp.

A car recently mapped in Bristol with a simtek ecu has achieved 30bhp+ using Morrisons rather than V-power.

That makes sense, didnt see it at AJ's!

Heard terrable things about Darren, engines going bang and no warrenty etc! Hopefully you will be ok with yours mate, good and bad said about most places.

Give me a shout one day, pop over to the workshop and take a look at what we do and have a coffee etc

I'm mapped on v-power with meth and millers 4oct boost.

Only pay £160 for 208 ltrs of meth so its cheaper than unleaded!!!

Not tried the bio route but many rave about it so may be worth a try next time?

Managed to sort yours yet mate?

They are selling e85 in newquay now?!?!?

God im tempted, i wonder how a scooby handles the stuff, typical just had my car remapped as well.

How much is it per litre anyway?

Can a scooby handle running e85 full time, i have 550's fitted it should be able to provide enough fuel id imagine, i've heard it's around 15-30% extra.

Only use V-power in ours normally playing place.

Engine out an stripped last week, need new block and heads undecided on 2.0lt cdb on rcm internals, or a 2.1 stroker with mhale pistons/manly rods and possibly rcm twisted turbo either way something as to be done

Ours has got a simtek, so it can be mapped on both but only downside is if you forget which map is which
