So what do they do an how much bhp do you gain? is the car set up on a rolling road?

**colnotts** · Monday 16th November 2009, 23:47

swings and roundabouts ?

The RR is charged as extra, the ecu is basically plug n play then a quick test drive to see if its boosting properly.

I would have been there less than an hour if the first ecu had worked but they had to get another from somewhere else, so i hung about in Bromsgrove for a bit. Then hamish adjusted the actuator and added a Pipercross filter.

Took my car from 222bhp up to 257bhp, the drive home was swift to say the least.

But do your homework first

When I had my S70R I had mine Remapped by HLM about 3 years ago now... never had a problem... great change to the car... its now owned by another member of this forum who Im sure will say the same.... very quick... I now have an S60 T5. and will be going back up to HLM for my Hybrid Turbo as soon as I have saved up The Money.. I have been going to them for years now all the way from London. and Perosnally. I wouldnt go anywhere else... I stick with who I know and who Im personally happy with work wise and result wise....

I was very happy with the remap i had on my V70

The best £150 you will spend this year.

Why not ask for a ride in a RICA'd car and see the difference. I am sure one of the guys/gals on here would oblige if they can.

I have an HLM 280 on my 850 auto, transformed it into a quick car. No problems whatsoever. Holds boost just at the end of the boost gauge, and off the end on a cold day. I can use normal unleaded too. I am very pleased with it.

Ermmmm

I was stood there whilst yours was done (you turned up with Stealth) I do believe that you purchased a Rica map from Chiptuning Ltd rather than a HLM map from Hamish Lindsay Motorsport.

Funny how the waters get muddied.

The turbo is a fine product, but absolutely does need water injection as the compressor temps are very high. It really can flow, and does flow very well at high rpm.

What I found with mine was that the map (then created by Hamish's and Adam's business) was absolutely dreadful. A 3 year old with an etch-a-sketch could have done better.

Sorry this wasn't an HLM remap. The base map was a Rica 19T map that Adam of Chip Tuning '£££££££ised', or perhaps he didn't. (Only Adam would really know.)

i had my 1999 c70 2.5T with a 19T, big down pipe and stainless,, custom mapped buy hamish last month,
i drove in with a car that felt like a dog and would top out at 135 mph and drove out in a completey different animal that pulls like a train and tops out at 169mph (on the sat nav).
hamish knows really his stuff.

Storming, as you will find in all walks of life and all areas.. there are always good and bad reviews. but Im sure you can see from the small minority of ppl who have commented so far that even tho there are a select few who have had bad experiences with HLM the majority as u can see have had a good result, and are more than happy with their results.. Im sure this would be the case with ANY garage. each car is different so each result will be different...but Im possitive you wont be dissapointed with your result Either after you have had your car turned into an Animal lol
