Yup..De-cat, panel filter etc and an "example" EcuTeK re-map

Open your wallet now... original Bugeyes as supplied still have a "kick" when the (small) TD04 Turbo kicks in....an example EkuTeK map (often called a TeK2) smooths this out to give a slower kick over a bigger rev range so keep an eye on the speedo as Plod takes your licence away !!.

Custom maps (TeK 3) can keep an element of the original turbo kick but both have BHP at about 262-280 (ish).

Problem is that the EcuTek smooths things so well that to get the "sensation" of a turbo kicking in hard again then words like "headers, TD05, Injectors," start to appear along with the pound signs.

Midlife.....

I ve got a sports cat down pipe equel length headers and a cat back fire storm system with a tek 3 and it flys, transforms the car to what you think a scooby should be

when on the motorway you are looking for 6th gear as there is so much torque at 3000rpm

will say though that mine does not spread the turbo kick out through the rev range, it hits 3000 rpm and turns into a animal but this might be the headers - the car got 261bhp and 270 ft lbs at powerstation rollers ( a standard ppp normally gets about 235ish bhp on these rollers)
