who does the remaps that get used by forum members?

I think there are as many preferred re-mappers as there are members of the forum - everyone has their own preference.

I had mine done by Courtenay - but that was because I could and had always wanted to take a Vaux I owned there - no more than that!

Plenty of people will let you know who they use and recommend them!

Good luck!

Matthew

I hope you are happy

Not a company I would use, just purely looking at their product range shows to me they do not fully understand the car, thus will never get the best from it.

Interesting comment, one of the most respected VX tuning firms about! What about the V6 do you think that they don't understand?

Oh, I don't think they understand injection/management principles, or the laws of physics, rather than specifically the GM V6 lump in particular.

Other than in Chav Power Today type mags, you're the first person to ever say Courtney and Respected in the same sentence


Lets take 2 of their products for the Omega....

Lightened flywheel.  What exactly is that going to achieve on a heavy car like the Omega, except more vibration due to the lack of the dual mass?

4bar fuel pressure regulator.  It will take the engine manament system fitted to Omega approximately 5s once it goes closed loop that it is overfuelling, thus adjusting short and then long term fuel trims right back to ensure the same amount of fuelling as before.  So it will make a difference the first time you use the car after fitting, until it warms up.

Then I could rattle on about their air filters, which on the Omega, common consensus is that 'performance' actually reduce performance. And so on.

I know it's rare TB, so mark it on the calendar ( )But we agree on this one.

I can't see that a lightened flywheel will make that much difference on what's otherwise a 1.7tonne barge

Lightened flywheels have a place in lightweight track cars, must definately, but as you say, in a 1.7 tonne car, about as much use as a used johnny smeared in dogshit.

You seem to be forgetting that the V6 was also used in other applications.  Remember the Cavalier and Calibra V6? That was where it all started,    with    morethanahandfulfindingtheirwayintoAstrasandCorsa's.

Lightenned flywheel in a Mig? Why would you want a manual Mig anyway?

The application have just evolved into  being available for the Migas they were already there. Note that they dont do anything specifically for the 2.6/3.2. I checked when I was considering a Vectra GSi.

Also, they must be doing something right to have lasted so long.

Anyway, tuners is a personal thing. Yours is the first    negative comment I have ever heard about them.

about as much use as a used johnny smeared in dogshit.

TB, BRILLIANT, most I've laughed all week 

[Gubz]

a manual is for real drivers thats why you would want one
 

[i260]

...shifting just doesn't suit the Mig imho, sorry!

[JamesV6CDX]

Have you ever driven a manual 3.2?

oh yes .  i personally get on better with 3.0 manual though, can't say why  :-/

[Gubz]

autos are for people who really deep down want manuals
 

[zirk]

...shifting just doesn't suit the Mig imho, sorry!

Manual suits me, my 3.0 MV6, my MPG and my pocket. On the subject of Chips currently running a Courtaney on mine, I would say a very slight improvement, but does give better MPG.

[shammster]

Auto in the Mig, cruiser all the way.

Manual is for lighter cars and back lane thrashing!

coz they cant trust the plod with autos!
