175 standard
+ induction = 185
+ full exhaust = 195
+ remap = 205???

Aiming at low/midrange not top end as it's a daily driver. Also my MIL appeared the other day. Do I get this sorted, map round it, or ignore it??
Does one opt for power/mpg high/low end or is it a case of just 'better'? I assume worse emissions is the downside, pah. I read that our 227g/km would be more like 200 using todays testing methods so I figure I've got 10% to play with for the tax we pay

Good idea to service the car before going eh, my plugs are at leat 2 years old.


*If i pull 160 on the first run I'll be mad. Better pack my soldering iron...
