TB205GTi does the best maps.

Hes a member on here but you might get a faster response if you find him on TDOCUK

He can do anything you want from a stage 1 to a full custom map. Hes done all my recent ones and theyer more powerful and less smokey than anything else ive seen.

On a stage one unless your clutch is already f*cked it won't slip, going into stage 2 territory on full torque you will slip your clutch though.

In your opinion, Chris...

Personally i prefer pro_steve (incidentally pro_steve IS HDi-tuning.co.uk), mainly because he'll do exactly what you ask him to, maintains excellent communication at all times and is generally a lovely chap. I'm running at least 130bhp and 220lbft from a pro_steve map (advanced stage 1) with no clutch slip, and i abuse the fecker lol.

I helped a friend of mine put a pro steve map on his car, and i know the chap kept good communication the whole time, more than happy with the service provided, and putting the map on myself was fairly straight forward.
Doesnt even own a 306.

I've used galletto to do a few HDi maps now.

Two out of three hdis I've stage 1'd now have slipping clutches. The other now has a brand new clutch. Mpg doesn't seem any different with or without different maps for me.

What's your ECU number BTW?

If you are thinking of going stage 2 that's probably a good idea. If you're staying stage 1 (which gets boring quickly) then a new standard will be fine. Smile

might as well upgrade it while changing it. are there any blocks on the ecu that will try and block me from remapping?

I found whippys maps to be good. I ran a 128 then a 133 after a service where a mate with the exact same map ran a 128 also

It does make that much of a difference, well worth the money imo.

Mine is made for a refurbished R70 pump, 1800bar FRPS, and free-flow exhaust, total cost excluding map is ~£550. I don't yet have a proper exhaust sorted, that should free up some more judging by the smoke. Wink However, in terms of bang for your buck - the same money would be better spent on stage 2.
