Trafford Centre JDM meet.
Some pretty nice cars there, but there was some absolute abortions too.
How do you get notified of these please?

That's alright mate. What did they record it down as, if they did?
The group N flashpro map just makes a lot of noise and gives you a bit more torque but its very obviously not optimal.
A proper map made a big difference to my old FN2 (with mugen intake and cat back milltek exhaust), mine was done by Vitviper, improved throttle response over the Gp N map and much more urgency. Had so many little tweaks to that map as well, had about 28 revisions to it with a datalog run each time. Think the guy is a perfectionist really! Expect you will like it.
I was underwhelmed with group N given people said it 'transformed' the car, its still a bit flat, you get VTEC noise lower down in the rev range but not much more pull. Its better than stock but not all that. Custom map was much better...you've done the right thing to get one, though it may not be optimal to your car.
Manifold swap is what will bring you the biggest smiles with a K20 though, with a map to suit. Starts getting very pricey then mind.
Vitalliy is brilliant. He did my car as well, I was a wee bit sceptical at first as all the know it all's said etuning was balls but as Paul @ TDI has said a few times, he's done remaps on Vit's e-tunes and had to change very little if anything. That said, if I lived close to TDI or Eurospec I'd have a dyno tune for sure.
Group N is nonsense. Had it on for 5 minutes.
I personally wouldn't trust an e-tune from someone elses car. Although it should be close if you have the same mods there will still be a difference in the AFR ratios etc but I doubt it would be drastic enough to cause any damage. I'd strongly recommend a mani and remap though, best two mods I did along with the CAI. Infact that's as far as my engine mods went.
