    Whats the advantage of geting your standard chip re-mapped compared to after market ecu's like wolf 3d or motec.
    Dr bob do you have a web site i can visit or some thing?

    Hi Doctor Bob, am I correct in saying that you can reflash the VY N/A ECU like CAPA do on the VY's when you purchase there CAPA Superchargers....

    if the memcal is tuned properly it will give you better performance, if it's not done properly it will make things worse.

    holden gave the vn-vr an all-rounder tune (it was a family car) so there is plenty of room for improvement.

    cheers :p

    Yea, i got mine form Dr Bob today in the mail.
    Pluged it in to my VT 5 speed (pacemakers, lukey 2 1/2" exhaust and SS inductions CAI) and went for a run, It seemed normal untill i took it on a constant 80 for about 5 mins then it all seemed to get better.
    No more slugishnes down low in 2nd, boot it and it goes.
    Revs drop down quicker when changing gears.
    Over all im impressed.
    And it seems to be getting better every time i drive it????
