I meant if you gad the 143 updated and mapped cant imagine be any real different between that and a 160 |
My MGF is a mk1 so runs MEMS 2.0 which isn't remappable. One would have to convert to MEMS 3 which isn't that difficult but does require some effort.

Also remapping a NASP stock engine is fairly pointless anyway as there will be fairly small gains. Would be better off with fresh fluids and a filter change.
with the VVC engines you can "Lock" the exhaust cam to a specific profile and there is some info out there on this.

As above, there are some mechanical changes but there is also an updated management system.
As with any mapping, it isn't just about the headline maximum BHP, there is more drivability and the map can be written to suit any alterations within the mechanical package.
