Title: 2.2 dti remap
Post by: tommycon on 08 March 2016, 17:14:06

Hello All
I`m thinking of having my 2.2dti remapped.                                                                                                I would like some input from members who have had this done on the miggy
Recommended companies and approx costs please.
I`m in the northwest
I`m happy with my miggy but would just like a bit more power.
I`ve looked on the net and the increase seems to be around 25bhp which would be great.
I had my MGZt cdti remapped ( extra 30plus bhp )and the results were fantastic apart from the big clouds of thick black smoke from the tailpipe when flooring the pedal.
ps
I know I`ve mentioned bhp and not torque only because I`ve not got  the figures to hand.
 Look forward to hearing peoples views and thoughts on this
Paul

Decat it first before you do any remapping. Cat not required for MOT on a diesel of that age but the presence of one is becoming more common so best to open it up and remove all the innards then weld it back together.

I`ve never decatted a car.
The MGZT was just remapped and loads of power never touched the cat.
Maybe I`m wrong but wouldnt removing the cat make the exhaust louder?

Nope, you keep the shell of the cat but remove all the restrictions from inside.
