You aren't too far away from me and so I was interested until I saw the price of the GTS stage 1. £3K seems a lot for a remap and especially when someone like Litchfield will give 2/3 of the increase for 1/3 of the price.
I was wondering the same. I'm thinking perhaps 9E are changing the plenum also which may explain the extra 30 horses over Litchfield.
Not based on what they say on their website. Perhaps they are just boosting it more.
It would be interesting to hear their comments regarding what you are getting for your money.
Sorry was away for a week.
When you tune a car, you can do the normal changes to ignition/fuel/boost etc. What I see on the market is precisely this - basic changes that give a modest increase - for example COBB Off the Shelf maps (OTS) - they typically give 50whp.
That is not what we do. We tune cars in multiple ways to explore where the limits are on different components when we first start, how the car responds under different strategies on the road. As an example on the 991.2 Turbo S we created 22 different maps, with some iterations of the same map etc. When you explore these strategies you find limits etc. All 991.2 cars are sensitive to limp modes under certain conditions - you don't find that on dyno. You have to explore why it does not respond, sometimes throwing away a strategy that works to a certain point but restricts you from going forward.
We finalised for example on our 718s the tune after 7000 miles of mostly track driving - there is nothing left on the table available - we know this.
It is not a question of we run more boost etc. Sometimes that does not provide better gains but causes more issues.
And it not as simple to say tuner x has 100hp and tuner y has 120hp - how much power under the curve is there at 2000rpm, 3000rpm, 4000rpm etc, what happens when you get to 140mph, what happens when you track the car etc.
We have many cars with less hp that consistently run faster than competitors cars.
As to price, only customers can decide whether that is GVFM.
