Vivaro

Had my vivaro remapped around 2 weeks ago by maptech, the difference is absolutely night and day. By no means a “race car” but much more pleasurable to drive and bags more torque for towing. Would recommend to anybody - Tom Barley

Nissan Note

Recently acquired a Nissan Note with the CR14DE engine. Not a performance car by any means but the larger boot and rear passenger space was the driving force. The engine seemed a bit thirsty for its size, getting 38 to the gallon at best, and below 3000 rpm - when the variable valve lift kicked in - it was gutless and had a sluggish throttle response. Popped in and spoke to Gareth about it and got it booked in for a Saturday, which was great as I need to car for work Monday to Friday.

Post-remap the car is so much better to actually drive I can scarcely believe it. The peak performance gains are fairly minimal, but the difference at lower RPM is huge. The engine doesn't suddenly burst into life at 3000 anymore, it's smooth and pulls all the way through the rev range, from idle to redline, and has plenty of low end torque for actual road driving. On top of that, the fuel consumption has improved significantly too; I got 44 mpg on a trip to Stirling in Scotland for New Year (almost 16% more) and 40 around town compared to 36 (11%).

I would recommend getting this remap done to any car with this engine. - Eddy Tear

Alfa Romeo 159

I had my Alfa remapped a week ago and words cannot truly express what it has done for the car. They started off with a health check to ensure there are no underlying issues, which came back clear. Then the cracked on and created a beast! All while i was sat in the comfort of the waiting area with a coffee!

The staff were helpful, informative and were happy to answer any questions. I will recommend this establishment and their services to anyone.

And my Alfa, well it left 40bhp better off and now pulls like a train in all gears! - Greg Favell

BMW 320E

just had my 320d mapped here. Good customer service and feels like a new car. loads more power, and throttle response feels so much better. - Harry John

Mini Cooper D

Amazing, Gareth has completely transformed my Mini Cooper D (1.6 HDi 110). I had suspicions my car had been mapped previously by a previous owner, Gareth confirmed it had been tuned and set about improving this and also mapping out the EGR as it has been blanked off along with finishing off the DPF removal from the software as I already have the hardware fitted. My car is not the same car I turned up in this afternoon. It pulls hard and doesn’t tail off anymore. I will be recommending Map-Tech to everyone I know that is considering a remap. I honestly cannot thank him enough he has made me love my car even more! So thank you Gareth, keep doing what you’re doing. I will definitely be a returning customer! - Matt Lilley

Porsche 996

I selected Map-Tech on a recommendation from my parts supplier from the USA. Gareth owns the same car with similar upgrades, so it made sense to take my car to a company that had prior experience to working on these cars - I understand they have also worked on 996's before so I had confidence of their knowledge of the problems which could be encountered.

I travelled from Surrey to Brigg to get the work done, which would take roughly 1 week. I had my Porsche 996 Turbo in for a Stage 3 upgrade where I was providing the core upgrade components (provided by Markski Tuning). Prior to work starting, comms with Gareth were clear, timely and transparent. When I dropped the car off on a Saturday, Gareth kindly allowed me to drive his 996 Turbo get a feel for what I would be getting - WOW!. Ian started stripping the car and gave me confidence that my P&J would be carefully cared for and properly put back together again.

During the week of the work, comms were regular and clear with both Ian and Gareth, with many updated and pictures being shared, as well as any snags or issues that they came across and suggested ways forward. The team were in control and always had a suggested way forward (lets be honest, this type of upgrades is never going to be a straight forward job without some minor snags), sourcing parts as needed from Porsche etc.

When I returned the following Saturday to collect my car, it had been washed and was looking great. The guys had already some some data logging which MarkskiTuning had worked his magic on. I was even able to do some logging with Gareth to get the final tune prepared, and was given some training on how to use the handheld map loader (My Genius) that I had also purchased.

When driving the car, the difference was immense...it's like the 996 turbo wasn't really trying before hand - power is relentless and it just doesn't stop pulling. I may have a permanent smile on my face when under boost (1.3 bar by the way!)

In summary, I highly recommend Gareth and Ian at Map-Tech. They really do care about clients cars and take time to talk through any questions or concerns you may have. For any Porsche Turbo owners who want to go down the route of modifications (Stage 1 onwards), Map-Tech should be on the list for high quality, competitively priced companies.

Many thanks Gareth and Ian - author

BMW 123d

Can't fault these guys. Gareth has stuck with me through various issues with the car and gone above and beyond to help me out and get the car sorted. Now running 100% better, making amazing power and couldn't have asked for more. would reccommend to everyone and any future cars I'll be sure to bring them by (hopefully without the same issues as my 123d haha!) - Corey Persaud

Skoda VRS

Just had my Skoda vrs mapped by map tech car was already mapped by another company and was runing poor the guys at map tech worked there magic and turned the car into a beast and got it runing proper the difference is night a day they know there stuff and how to put a smile on there customers face highly recommend map tech to anyone thinking about getting a remap top service and very help full thanks guys - Reiss Murphy

Vauxhaul Movano

Just had my movano remapped, highly recommended this company, made a noticeable improvement on drive ability, and mpg is up by nearly 4mpg, so very happy & will soon be taking my Range Rover in for a map too. - David Beddy Bedford

Saab 9-3

Went today to have my Saab 9-3 ttid fixed for good. DPF removed, ECU rewritten to delete EGR and DPF and a bit of a tune up. It’s like a totally different car now and I can actually floor it over 3000 revs thanks to the lads there! Haven’t stopped smiling all day! Cheers fellas, I’ll be back once I find my boost leak for the full performance upgrade. - Mark Benton

Mini Cooper

I've recently had a stage 1 remap for my F56 Mini Cooper and I'm very pleased with the performance gains. Not only is it noticeably faster (especially in the mid-range where overtaking has become significantly easier and safer), it's also considerably smoother too! Map-tech are very professional, very knowledgeable, and best of all - very inexpensive! Highly recommended! - Martin Swan-Hangra

Hyundai Santa Fe

I had my hyundai santa fe remapped a couple of weeks ago and I felt this company was worth reviewing. My car now drives better than it ever has. I commute around 250 miles a week and have already noticed the increased fuel economy. The main reason I took it Map Tech is I tow a large caravan all over the country on holiday whenever I get the chance. I took it out at the weekend and it towed the caravan beautifully, better acceleration, better fuel economy and less gear changing on the hills. I was considering changing my car prior to the remap but not necessary now. The guys who did the work where very professional they tweeked the car a few times before I was happy with the finished result. In addtion to this they did the work while I waited. Thanks very much I will be recommending you in the future. - Gavin Richard

Seat Leon FR

Brilliant Experience all round thank you for all your expertise on my now very happy 2012 Leon fr+ 2.0tdi stage 1 remap - Tracy & Mike McCartney

BMW 320

Had my BMW 320d coupe engine and gearbox (stage3) remapped yesterday and i am well chuffed with the results. What a difference it has made to the car. The power is intant now and the torque is amazing. The gear changes are so quick and smooth.

A massive thank you to the lads at map-tech. I just love driving this car - Mike Fraiwald

BMW 325i

Had my BMW E92 N53 325i tuned by Gareth (grey one on the 23 Aug 17). A true professional, thorough and diligent. Though mine was down on stock by a few horses (likely due to faulty NOx sensor), the tune completely changes the car for the better: noticeably faster acceleration, no more pinking or flat spots on the curve, and a surge of torque past 4k revs which wasn't there before. 210bhp vs 263bhp is a considerable difference - this puts it also ahead of the US 328i E92 models even with the NOx sensor issue.

325i N53 owners need to consider having this work done - you're unlocking a mass of untapped potential which BMW deliberately muzzled. They changed to producing a single N53 3.0 engine block from two derivatives, and only detuned/used a different intake manifold to justify the price difference they were charging new customers. As Gareth has explained elsewhere, this was all a sales driven exercise as you wouldn't want a 325i customer to know they could achieve a 330i for a lot less than a dealer was quoting for the next model up - despite using the same engine. This ecu tune also achieves this without the considerably expensive manifold and additional potential issues with swirl flaps.

Map-Tech are also more reasonably priced than their competitors, but no less capable. My car is my pride and joy, a symbol of much hard graft and special to me (hence why I didn't 'just' sell it and buy a 330i), and yet I felt safe throughout with it in Gareth's hands.

Will gladly use again in the future. 10/10 on all accounts. - Mark Foster

Audi TT

WOW! What a Difference A Remap Has Made To My Audi TT 2.0tfsi 197bhp. The Thing FLIES Now, Alot More Confidence Inspiring When Overtaking And Certainly Revs Out So Freely! Very Cliche To Say, But The Car Genuinely Feels Completely Different!

I Had A Few Questions About Common Faults On My Engine, The Team Knew Exactly What I Was Talking About And Advised Acordingly! I Messaged Them Using Facebook And Got A Response Very Quickly. I Was Booked In For The NEXT MORNING!

The Price Was Very Reasonable, Despite Not Doing The Dyno Run, I'm Certainly Sure It's Increased The Power From 197bhp To About 240bhp EASY! The Overall Economy Has Increased By About 2.5mpg If Driven Carefully. Very Happy And Would 100% Reccomend To All Friends And Family.

I WILL Be Back For My Next Car!!! Thanks!!!! 5 Stars! - Erhan Houssein

BMW

Great service. Maptech answered my query very quickly and whilst they couldn't help me on this occasion (they were honest enough to state that a significant increase of mpg on a 2.5L straight six BMW PU was unlikely), I would be more than happy to use them for any tuning needs in the future... Just need to find a nice 996 turbo! - Richard Stephenson

BMW 320D

Had my 2014 320D remapped by MapTech about 2 weeks ago now and I am really happy with results. Around 20-25% increase in power and torque and the new map makes driving the car so enjoyable at all speeds.

Would completely recommend. - Damian Brown

Mini cooper 1.6

I couldn't thank Gareth enough for the very first question I asked him to the last his knowledge was second to none. Nothing seemed to be too much too ask. The fact that he's always willing to travel to complete a job is amazing. The difference that I can feel is superb although its a known fact its very hard to get any extra out of the cooper engine, but it's there. I'll be happily recommending his services to my friends and family when they want there's doing. Excellent job keep it up - Ross Leggit, Rotherham

Ford Focus

Map-Tech just carried out a remap on my wife's Focus 1.0 Ecoboost, increasing it to close to 150BHP. It drives great now, much more pull in mid-range for overtaking. Found the guys here to be very knowledgeable and conscientious, will be taking my car in to get done before too long. Highly recommended. By the way, fully declared to insurance and only added £20 to the annual premium.- Joel Warburton

Subaru Impreza 2.5 WRX

Just wanted to thank you for great job you done with my Scooby today it was already quick but it now has a new dimension to to the power delivery,overtaking is now so easy in any gear and from a standing start the pick up is now Awesome!I will be recommending your services to all my friends that are looking for a remap and will also be bringing my Turbo Diesel to you for a remap.

Range Rover TD6

Just got back from travelling around England and Scotland with our nephew from Australia. We are so pleased we had our Ranage Rover TD6 remapped before we went away, towing a 21' caravan too, the car pulled uphill with no problems, gained more power and was so much more economical. On the mountains around Scotland we needed plenty of power but there was plenty more to be had! We would just like to say thank you for your service, I think it has nearly paid for itself already as we managed to get approx 30 to 35 miles per gallon towing !! we were very surprised and recommend this to anybody - Mrs Barbara Mychajluk

Vauxhall Insignia

Got my insignia remapped and had the dpf removed the other day and the difference in performance is immense it has completely transformed the car acceleration now in third fourth fifth and sixth is so different fourth gear pull now out accelerates my Vxr astra ! Anyone who has a standard insignia get it done you won't be disappointed the fuel consumption has also increased getting more mpg as well love it- Ryan Tidgwell

Audi A4 tdi

Such a fantastic guy. Nothing is too much for him to explain. Remaps are absolutely fantastic at a great price and the new carbon clean seems great too! My car starts easier and 120miles in 1/8 of a tank in a 2.0 TDI 170 A4. Thanks Gareth- Stephen Cope

Ford Focus ST 225BHP

I have recently had my Ford Focus ST re-mapped by you and its absolutely brilliant. I have been thinking about getting it re-mapped for some time and decided to have it done after talking to a friend whos Corsa VXR you have done. It now has constant power all the way through the gears and is almost as quick as my sons Focus RS. You service has been second to none you turned up when you said you would and completed the job in very quick time. Gareth is very polite and willing to explain to the customer all about the re-mapping and what it will do to the car. I have passed your number onto 3 family members and i am going to sing your praise's at work. On a final note you need to charge more as all the chips i have priced up in the past have been £350 + and yours was no where near this. If you are a perspective customer reading this on the testimonials section of MAP-TECH's web site then ring them with your car details after getting some other prices from other companys...I think it will be your last call..

Thanks Gareth you are a diamond - Rick from Nottinghamshire

Audi

I can't recommend Map-tech enough. Took my Audi in for a map today to make use of the Hybrid turbo and wow what a difference they have made. Many thanks- Mark Garfoot

VW T5

BMW 330D

I have recently had Map-Tech over to remap my 330d. I was hoping to improve the performance and also improve the fuel efficiency. My other car is a Porsche 911 so the BMW often feels a little lacking.

Map-Tech came to my house to do the work and i must say i am delighted with the results. The car definately has more power, in fact it feels like it accelerates as fast as the Carrera 2 up to about 60. As for fuel efficiency, I have already noticed a saving but it is a little early to give accurate figures as I need to do a decent motorway run. I will report back later.

Update
After living with the remap for two weeks I can now confirm impressive fuel savings. Prior to the remap I was getting 480 miles to a tankfull of diesel. I am now getting 550 without changing my driving style. Combined with the improved performance I am very pleased - M Finlay

Audi TT

Map-Tech came to my house to do the remap at a time specified by myself.The remap didn't take long to complete.

I have since recomended Map-Tech to a friend who is equally delighted with his results.
