We had a guy at the RR day with a Jamsport Focus RS which dyno'd at 420bhp at Jamsport. Dyno'd at 350bhp on Saturday.
Moral of the story. Everyone will fiddle their numbers to make them appear awesomer :thumbdown:

I heard TDFs rollers were reading about 15bhp higher than ktecs? on a 182 that had had a few tweeks, Pauls dyno at RST was calibrated against a 600bhp output and came in very close to the 600bhp score, his read very similar to ktecs dyno dynamics, I would have thought that having something that is known to read low but they can then show a decent gain without dyno 'tweaking' are going to be good at what they do. The problems usually occur when it's possible for the dyno user to tweak ambient operating parameters eg sea level, external temperature and barometric pressure
TDF are very well regarded as non bull****ters, if you want honest advice and no over egged figures then take it to matt, if you want the wool pulled over your eyes by so called tuning companies that fake the results to make you feel good then go for it! I know which type of service I'd rather receive.
And I'm also pretty pretty sure if your not happy with the results then matt will put the car back to standard and give you a refund!

So true. I don't know matt on any other level other than a paying customer but he absolutely knows his stuff.
The results he gets are a combination of great machinery and a great mind.
I think the only way from what ive seen to get more than 5bhp peak from a remap with mods or without is if the cars are very low figures as standard the closer you are to what its suppose to be standard the more chance it will be about 5bhp peak gains

when our 182 was standard I had it on both RS tuning's roller and TDF's, one said 177.1bhp the other said 177bhp, so pretty close to each other 
My car went in with 192 came out as 200 with an exhaust and map. I've checked the exhaust and it is pasted up and does look like it's been fitted well. And I did watch them drive the car out and if they did put there foot down then I'm not surprised... Can run a car on rollers to check the work is good but best is a road test. I've had no issues with them and if the figures are optimistic I don't mind as i'm not chasing them I just wanted it mapped.
They do come quite highly rated in the vw/Audi world.

Yeah but ive heard alot of bad reviews about them. Ive been there a few times, you come away thinking what a great job they done but further down the line you realise it wasnt such a good job...like when i had my full milltek fitted on my ST...when i went to take it off, the exhaust was leaking, no manifold gasket, and old gaskets had been used. I mean i didnt pay a near £1000 for old gaskets to be used and no gasket at the manifold. There only a few quid! But i looked at that as a 1 off...so i took my zetec s down there for a full milltek fitted, this time i gave them the exhaust paste and all the gaskets needed, but i asked for the exhaust paste back. But, they kept my standard exhaust system, when i asked for it back they said they had it disposed of for me :| I wanted to keep it!! And they said they couldnt find my exhaust paste! Also they didnt fit the manifold properly as it kept vibrating against the heat shield when i was going along! Had to take it back...again! There mapping isnt so good either! Tbh imo there seat, vw, audi specialists only...

They do say they'll keep the old exhaust. I asked for it to be kept so walked away with mine. I haven't had gaskets fitted so wouldn't know but can see paste has been used. I've have no problems with them so far and they fitted my exhaust, map and braided hoses and have no complaints. I went to have coilovers fitted but kw sent the wrong ones and they didn't charge me for any time spent taking the old off or putting it back on when they could of as I ordered the coilovers not them.
JAM Sport aren't very good I'm running their map with cams and its unfinished, worth trying is a superchips dealer -if your not happy with the map you can get a refund they have a map for the 197.. so should be able to sort the 200 too

Idle needs bumping up about 150/200rpm which Jam Sport can't do serious work on fueling and timing etc... especially on part throttle -Pretty amateur job to be honest

With the raft of new MOT tests and regulations being introduced from 01/01/2012 - one of them being the ability to detect remaps and thus MOT failure - i'm holding off until I see how it pans out.
I wish a map was available such as the one on my old Cupra which was running a Revo stage 1 map, but this was switchable back to the OEM map via a Revo SPS switch (which also cleared the flash counter).

how would your average garage check for a map? would need the diagnostic equipment for every manufacturer and have to know what to look for.
Dont know how a remap would fail on a roadworthy test. :thumbdown:
