Welcome to the forum!



What they said! A remap, also a less restrictive exhaust from the cat backwards would help get rid of heat faster. Without a cat back you would be lucky to break 260 hp with remap only

What he said ^^^^^^^

ok sounds daft but i thought you had to chip the 850s? thought it was newer stuff you could only remap?

You can get a ready chipped ecu for 150 quid

[AndysR]

Depends on your budget tbh but a chip is usually the most popular start of the quest for power.

[richyt5]

and how do you come about finding them?

Someone give him the hlm link I'm on my phone so can't lol

[Wobbly Dave]

Depends what you mean by chip. Remapping is an alteration of the boundaries set by the software. How you achieve this is largely irrelevant. To my mind chipping means physically removing the control chip and replacing it with another (with different parameters). I am not sure you can reflash the chip in the 850 or not, but it doesn't really matter.

Net result is the same - namely the car is remapped. Sorry if I sound pedantic.
