280 310 remap

lol I know mate, just thought I'd cast a bit of bait and see if there were any bites
I'll probably just stick with a decent EBC instead

Read below what a £600 minimum custom MTE remap can do. Google MTE's work and you will find just as many problems as there has been with RICA or HLM. Part of tuning i'm afraid.

It seems the highest regarded Volvo software at the moment across the Swedish and US boards is the ATM tune, http://www.atechmotor.com/ but no doubt, they have probably 'ruined' a customers car too, that's tuning!

It has been said before the Volvo tuning market is TINY, so anything that goes wrong seems to hang around like a bad smell. To the OP, try and do as much of your own research, try and go out in cars that have been modified by said tuners, speak directly to the tuning houses that offer services for Volvo's and not just the ones banded about here, there are more out there. Cost is a big issue too, if you are happy spending £600 on a 2k car then so be it, but I am sure you can get a similar quality generic remap for £250 or under.

In complete agreement here mate. Good post.

Give us a break. I think the can can stay shut for a few days at least.

And that is your choice that everyone is entitled to make.

Like the AMG forum perhaps?

Not sure mate, either Blitz or Apexi. Bit of a long way off at the moment though, funds are limited. Just trying to keep the dear old olive shed on the road in decent condition for now.

Sorry Al, just couldn't resist. Welded the lid on now

I know, this happens every time someone asks that particular question

Anyway, apart from all the rubbish in this thread, I hope you've found some info that's of use and whatever map you get it will transform your car and bring a big grin factor with it.

i think im still gonna go with hlm....the only concern is this running lean? Wouldnt the map sort that out?

[Jamest5r]

If you put a 16t on your car ask for a copy of the map from my car, no problems with that.

Note: im only commenting on this as the op asked, dont want any part of the soap opera

Look mate I had a HLM 304 map on my car put in on the dyno day and it ran afr's on initial startup of 14 then dropped immediately to 11's so perfect mate.

Only need to worry about afr's if your going to be running an MBC at high boost.

£600 minimum for a off the shelf map ?

I didnt pay that for my custom map and the cost of a day at Bruntingthorpe .

According to a member on here the price of a MTE generic remap from Kalmar Union with the Softloader product will be £600 soon.

Glad you did not pay that, as it is day light robbery!

Hi Lee,

What is your real name ? Because I don't remember you, which is very odd as according to you I appear to have remapped 2 cars for you. You're not telling fibs are you ? Nice try grow up.

Hamish.
