It won't go from 185 to 230 on just a remap.
If I took my ST225 to Mountune for what's classed as a stage 1 remap It would have: Remap, larger capacity Intercooler and K&N filter and even then it would only go from 225bhp to 260bhp! Which is a gain of 35bhp and 0.5 secs off the 0-60 time.
That's real world gains so stop letting that company feed you crap that there going to turn your 2.0 Diesel Mazda into some 240+Bhp monster!
You've only just bought the car just enjoy it for a while as u intended it for. The mpg for commuting.

It really isn't difficult to produce a power graph print out that is 10+% over reading.
But if a company as big as superchips, that probably spends 1000's of hours developing and testing each map can only offer 207bhp. What must this local company be doing to get it upto 230bhp? Even Celtic tuning only offer 215bhp and there figures are normally well on the high side.
Hope you like a big cloud of black smoke following you whenever you boot it.
those numbers are not with a dpf delete.. it helps

Its not a 2.0 its 2.2
I personally dont rate superchips anyway. They mapped my 335d and claimed it would be around the 340 BHP mark, when I beleive it was closer to the 315 BHP mark (I had it RR'd). Of course, the place that did the rolling road showed me how they could get it to 360 bhp with just a map. An increase of around 75 BHP. Didn't believe that to be honest, but did believe my superchips bluefin was nowhere near quoted figures.
In the end, I didn't really care. The car was fast enough as it was, and I was getting reasonable mpg's. A simple remap is probably all I'd do, and deal with the DPF if it becomes an issue in the future.

I thought getting rid of the dpf was not aloud anymore? Your killing the environment
It isn't allowed, but the actual test is just a visual inspection and so easily passed.
DPF is not so much about the environment but more about the potentially cancer causing particulates which are a major issue with air quality in built up areas.
Unfortunately, the DPF is already an issue for me.
The pure fact it dumps fuel into the sump and causes my MPG to go from reading 55 on the motorway all the way down to 29 and the regen takes a good 10 mins... is enough to warrant me hateing it.
Its £390 for map and delete vs £250 for just the map. Just makes sence
i have done 1.2k miles already in this car, and its done a regen 4 times. OTT imo

That's not even what he's trying to achieve though. Has he said anywhere in this thread that he wants MPS perfomance? Has he said anywhere anything to suggests he wants nothing more than a bit of extra performance and a slightly nicer aesthetic?
Not enough to worry about providing you change oil at recommended intervals.
Boo hoo your mpg goes down whilst burning off particulate that might otherwise be in people's lungs. I really feel your pain /sarcasm
So because its inconvenienced you 4 times, you are going to inconvenience everyone by spewing out soot all the time?
The regen is required what, once every 1000 miles? It has almost zero real world effect on your fuel costs.

Wanting to get an extra 60bhp isn't a "bit of extra performance" in a car that only had 185bhp to start with. It's obvious he wants MPS performance with mega MPGs.

Then why'd you buy a diesel with a dpf?
I'm not being funny mate but I've driven one of these and in all honesty it felt like a flat diesel with no turbo, my 6mps weighs a fair bit more and is far far nippier. The other car I was looking at was a 2.2 civic, and the civic compared to the 2.2 3 was like night and day in all honesty. The civic felt like it had way more power.
I was FAR more tempted with the civic compared to the 3, Evans halshaw transported it from 390 or so miles away only for me to refuse it. They weren't happy and I thought I'd have a proper battle on my hands but they refunded my deposit without question so credit to them.
And the remaps for the Type S/EX Civics are well and truly tried and tested, everyone does warn too that it WILL lead to clutch/dmf failure and suggest costing that into any remap also. As for these off the shelf maps...not a fan, I'll stick with my mazda and a cobb accessport, not sure if they're compatible with the diesel one like, might be worth a look.
But you are talking more than the prices you've quoted for a remap solution
I'd be joining up on forums specific to the diesel 3 and having a good read up before doing anything... but I'd have done it before buying the car
Do you have a friendly MOT tester?

wow thats really bad. is that normal for every diesel car? i never owned a diesel car so i dont know a lot about DPF.
doesnt sounds right to me thou. something is wrong
No, it isn't that normal. I have only ever once noticed mine doing a regen and it was very subtle.

Yep I've had a couple of 2.0 4 pot diesels with DPFs, probably covered 75k miles in them combined and never had this sort of issue. You could sometimes tell when it's doing a regen but it never caused any issues
Ok, so in light of your explanation, please explain the term 'dump valve delete' where a dump valve is purely mechanical and has no such software to 'delete'.
The term 'delete' is stupid whether it's referring to a DPF or a dump valve. Not a lot of things get on my nerves, but referring to a part removal as 'delete' makes me cringe.
A turbocharged petrol engine will give you that same torque surge as it comes on boost. If you didn't want to rev your Clio to 6k in case it blew up (are you sure it wasn't because it was a banger) then you might as well not rev your diesel any higher than 3.5k in case it too blows up.
Funny thread, I remember I was once as deluded and clueless as you. Take on board what people here are telling you, you'll feel less like a **** when you look back in a few years time.
