who is best for a custom map for my 1999 c70 2.5t me7
i have put on a 3.5" down pipe, sporst cat and 3" stainless.
got rid of the 13g turbo and replaced it with a 19t. i am now looking for some injectors then i need her set up with a custom map.... who are the best people to see?? and without having to break the bank.. lol.

I think given your location - I would go to HLM. He has successfully tuned both of my ME7 engines with the additional hardware.

not sure how your compression ratio will work out though with it not being a T5??

M T E everytime for a custom map.

You try getting hold of Marco to come and do custom work now....the amrket just doesn't seem to be there....he is trying (I am 99% sure) to sell off the shelf maps for custom harware if that makes sense...standard upgrades performed (like the 19T etc) I am sure an ME7 one is easier as the softloader can be used though

Contact Don @ Kalmar for MTE

Tsk, tsk...you're so last year LOL

Marco doesn't even have to be in the country to do custom mapping on an ME7 car

then get a Turbo Tuner ECU & do your own mapping

lol

Can of Worms comes to mind

Do some heavy research mate.

I had my 855 T5 done at HLM with the 304 and granted its not an ME7 but ive never had any problems with Hamish

If Dave ( Wobbly ) recommends Hamish then id be happy with that

the compression ratio of my lpt is 9:0:1 and the t5 is 8:5:1 not much in it ,there for i should be able to run a 19t with out much of a problem.(so i have been told by my local volvo garage)
but i should'nt feel the benifiits untill she has been mapped up.

how do i find HML?

Yes indeed without the proper software - you can only get minimal benefit for the HW you have attached.

Hamish Lindsay Motorsport - HLM sometimes refered to as Volvotuning/VT are in Bromsgrove which is a 2.5 - 3 hr drive up the M5 from you. I think you will do just fine with them.

I did not realise the C/R was so close. Good luck with what ever you choose.

Turbo tuner is only for 4.3 and 4.4 motronic systems. Somebody else you could use for custom mapping is Motorsport developments in Blackpool.

**Wobbly Dave** · Thursday 2nd July 2009, 16:28

Bath to Blackpool - now there is a hike and a half.

alot of people under-estimate the power/gains from a MBC
