[Mk3] [Turbo] Recommended Unichip Mappers in Suffolk / Essex / London ?

Post by BenF »

I'm interested in getting my Unchip on the Roadster remapped to make the on-off boost transition more progressive.

I've previously had it mapped by Rob at Perfect Touch, but understand he's gone?

The only tuners I know of are Torque Developments in the Lakeside / M25 area - but I don't know who does their mapping.

Any other recommendations for the Suffolk / Essex / London area ?

I think Engine Advantages in Witham do unichips, not sure about how good they are though.

Sadly, they're gone now, as well as the rolling road. That was one option but I hadn't heard of them doing any MR2s.

Cheers! It looks like either them or Perfect Touch.

Anyone used Redline Tuning? Stuff up on their website reads well, but it looks like they mostly specialise in Fords / Peugots :?

FWIW Millway fitted the turbo kit to the Roadster, but I wasn't happy with the map that they put on the Unichip - there was audible det on the road :shock:

Perfect Touch - I'd heard their star unichip mapper had moved on?

TBH - they did the current map, and the boost increase. The current map is fine on full throttle - but moving from part throttle to full throttle there's a noticeable step in torque at one point as you just cross into small amounts of positive boost - it used to be much more progressive before they remapped it.
