RS module is a gimik mate. custom map after modding for £390 + and ull get more power

they just send a generic map that u upload.

They good and easy to use
You can get custom cal files from them you just have to but it separate
I gave had mine for 2 years with no problems and is usefull for clearing fault codes etc
It's so much more than a remap

 

[Ed...]

renault clear fault codes for free wen u get it serviced. no file is custom unless the car has been on the rollers. its impossible. re writing a map takes months to do manually

Hardly a gimik, yes...... Its not a full map but there still great for the money!

Just used one on my 172..... combined with a decat its made a good difference, and the rev limiter being raised upto nearly 8k is a hoot .

So for buying the unit 2nd hand, unlocking it + selling it on again, its cost me about £60. Great value

fair enough PPT. another rgood reveiw for the RS tuner

 

[Peak Performance Tyres]

Yeah, for the money..... GREAT. Although i do intend to have it mapped eventually by thor racing.

Half way there i think Woody, £390 for a true map is cheap! and most likely a companys generic map with the odd tweak, but yea these are generic files but to be fair over 95% of the remaps for these cars are and prob 70% are actually the same map,

Reasons why i think these products are wicked,

1, you turn your map on and off thus saving mpg on a journey also preventing voided warrantys,

2, You can sell it on afterwards thus reducing the cost of your map significantly

3, If you had a problem and went to renault and they update your ECU or reset it you will loose your map, £300 down the drain with this you just plug it back in and off you go,

4, You can keep updating it, if you want a live map then you can go get one and upload it onto the system or if RS tuning get a better one im sure you could get it updated for free or very little,


I had a custom map done on my supercharged R32 and it cost a grand, had to get a specialist over from holand as no one in the UK would touch it, Even a tuner who some people respect and trust on here called in there best and he blew up my first engine, Theres only really a hand full of real mapppers in the country most just buy maps of a big database upload it onto your car and pop it on the rollers to check its ok,

is that ure supercharged r32 mk4 on the rollers on u tube with exhaust flames?

ah ha well im having mine mapped properly by an engine genious lol he has all the equipment and he re wrote a map to suit cams and a modded cylinder head. so i trust him with a blank ECU and a supercharger lol

lol yea thats mine..well was

sweet im not saying they dont know what there doing just many people dont actually know how the industry works and what there actually buying, like you say it take a few days on the rollers and on the road to get it right and in the supercharged thread even longer as they are trying to map an ECU to a level that hasnt been done yet, Its the most important element of the set up as if saftey mechanisms are taken out then the car can go boom,
