I had no issues with the 304 on my V70.
I'm not so keen on the HLM custom map that I bought with my 18T (not as aggressive as I'd like) but then it was set up for a different car, Danny's T-5R, so until I can afford to get another done, it's staying; seems to run a bit lean, but apparently the RICA based maps have this tendency anyway. However, I'm running the standard orange injectors so that may have something to do with it although the map was written for oranges.
It works ok, so I'm not complaining!

I had that map on my V70 with no issues (and I'm on T5D5)
Its good to see people with direct experience of products posting.
Personally i don't care too much if its good or bad opinions as long as they are from people with genuine experience of said products and don't have any hidden agenda.
Also, as long as it don't turn into a slanging match.

No problems when I had the 304 on my old 850.
Probably get another on my current car from HLM.
(I was on T5D5, posted about my ecu upgrade, they didn't like it because I said it's an old rica file, got the usual HLM can't sell it, it's illegal, yada yada, I said I was Gunna get A mte, didn't in the end as not convient and spent my money else where. I shot back with how a certain member fitted my lowering spring up side down. Then got accused of god knows what, then the usual personal threats)

All the off the shelf stage 1 maps are much a muchness. But I think you're foolish if you spend any money at HLM.
Most people who buy the 'HLM' map (rica knock off), only get it because it's the cheapest, and are only concerned with costs above anything else. Not because they want what is best for their car. Not only in terms of performance, but customer service and after sales care as well.

i know loads of peeps that have had hlm remaps no probs at all and some of them have run bigger turbos no probs and the cars have been on dynos and fueling no probs.
I'll probably be in trouble for posting with no experience ... but regardless of the apparently debatable source of the tune, Bruce's dyno published on T5D5 was commented as "Spot on", "AFRs fine" and " i'd be more than happy running that fueling on my car".
Which I would take to read as the tune is fine, if of questionable legality (which is a moral issue if you believe it is dodgy and HLM's problem); but lacking in support (which is your problem, but likely explained in the price).

I have had 2 HLM maps.. one on my S70R which I had on there for 3 years and never a problem with it. and now the one I have on my S60T5 which I have had for over a year now and No problems with this one either.. I didnt have a clue where to go for a remap when I joined this forum about 5 or 6 years ago. and went to HLM after speaking to several ppl who had all had maps from there.. so there I went... I was happy with how they did the map. great service with lunch and loads a coffee and good football with the dearly departed Mirk, I dont know if I could get them anywhere cheaper but money is not a problem for me and I rather go by experience and word of mouth. and glad i went to HLM. and take my car to them for all my car needs even though I live in London. wouldnt trust anyone else with my cars as I am happy with everything I have had from them and would recommend them to anyone very highly.. and going by the 11 for and 1 against on the Poll Id say im not the only one happy with their work...Poll speaks for itself I guess. but at the end of the day mate.. you go where u want to to get yours done and decide on your own merits as to where your happiest.
