[darren1976]

tl motor sport sell these for £700 inc fitting and programmed as i went last week said the ecu i had fitted couldnt mapped

[Nick Mann]

Really? The retail price on them is over £1k.

[Wobble]

who are tl motor sport ?

[oggy]

I've only heard of bad reports of them as In people not receiving goods or service. Apologies if I'm wrong but google also throws a lot of negative reports up!

[Nick Mann]

£700 fitted AND mapped???? Feck me, I'm interested!!

[Wobble]

40% of eurospecs price .

[darren1976]

based in halifax in west yorkshire had loads of evos there but it could of been a vipec not really sure now but thats what price is quoted said to do the mods you wanted to do then would set it all up in that price

Don't worry, I've fixed this into a new thread for you :thumbsup:


What ECU do you have now - bog standard one?

[Nick Mann]

http://www.trldevelopments.co.uk/ecu-remapping

Vipec quoted on that page as £1650. Much more like the prices I'd expect. I'd assume that is fitted & mapped though, as I think the retail price of the ecu is £1k plus VAT. Either way, if £700 is an option I'd be very interested.

trl developments (the racing line ) are traders on mlr they do know there things around evos

got confused when you said tl motorsport . ( 2 letters right isnt to bad i suppose :P )

i have thrown them a pm to verify .

If you read MLR there is recent thread that shows really poor service with a damaged engine and avoiding responsibility...

[Wobble]

have had a response and £700 is a bit out .

here it is .................................................


Thanks for your enquiry

Supplied fitted and Mapped Inc Dyno time and VAT is £1900. Approx Depending
on car

What car make and Model do you have?

[Babylon6]

700 quid might get you a timeshare on a Vipec. Theres a few going on the MLR for 800 - 900. then you got to fit, map etc.

[Nick Mann]

£1900 sounds much closer to the cost I was expecting! (That might be a few pounds more than Eurospec - I can't remember exactly.)
darren1976 I am pretty sure Jason ( foxdie ) can tune any VR4 ecu now. It might be worth a call to him if you just want a quick tweak?

[Wobble]

eurospec is £1650 i believe

[Humpty's Revenge]

Mine is only £800 :deal2:

[swinks]

Mine is only £800 :deal2:
As said before, it's effin good bargain Steve. Unfortunately, can't snatch it right now due to unforseen circumstances in my household, but within next few months if not sold it will be mine :)

have seen that .i wouldnt trust them with anything after that .
if you vr4 goes pop after them you will get zero help and lies after lies

[foxdie]

Yep, I can remap all 8th Gen V6 (Twin Turbo and N/A) Galant / Legnum ECUs, but it's all about what your looking for.

If you're only after a few more horses (up to as much as +40HP, depends entirely on the health of your car and what supporting modifications have been done), then a remap is for you.

If you want to take it seriously, going down the route of cam changes, turbo upgrades etc, then a ViPEC is highly recommended.

In both cases, Ben Eurospec can help you out with the resources to back it up (such as a dyno etc), if you just want a quick remap then I can help with that too.
