So, my map.
It's pretty clear from the posts in this thread that there is a little bit of surge. I had initially concluded that all IX's do it from a lot of reading on MLR, but I've always had this nagging that it's definitely the map.
I had previously taken the car back to Anthony and explained my concerns, we took the car out and he made some changes to the map. He said I shouldn't be worried about it though as it is just the air from the 3 port releasing boost. But that noise still remained and I pretty much avoid full throttle below 4krpm.
Anyway, I've always wanted a second opinion, and maybe get it mapped else where purely to satisfy my curiosity. So I did some reading, a lot of reading in fact. I discovered a garage called C1-R who are a bunch of ex Ralliart mechanics, some from Extreme I think. Anyway, they seem very well respected and aren't found on your typical forum, all word of mouth etc. So I sent in an email the other night and got a reply within a few minutes from Chris Timmins. I explained what was going on and he thinks I should definitely get it looked at. Turns out they don't map cars yet, but he pointed me in the direction of Greg Gush.
I then contacted Greg, the same evening, and he got back to me pretty quickly. He wants to take a look and map the car himself. I'm now booked in on the 19th to go up to Protune and have some checks done such as looking for boost leaks, compression test etc then down to the rolling road in Marlow as Protuner only have a 2WD dyno on their site. It will start off on the road getting the part throttle done followed by a few hours on the dyno. Certainly longer than what it spent on the dyno with Anthony. I'm also going to order a 3" decat and get it fitted the same day. Quite looking forward to it actually, both to see if it releases any extra power and how the map feels including that 'surge'.
I need a new one ASAP, suggestions please?
