why remap volvo ecus? if u can use a mbc instead

MessageAuthor

does that mean you've got a MBC now then, i know you were thinking of getting one when you couldn't get it to boost right?

not everyone has the ability to stick a T5 engine in a bug... do you thing software engineers sit here & think why do the bother with MBC's when you can press a few keys? the remap route seems the safest for drivers?

Depends what you want out of the car, I guess. It'd be remap/software for me everytime!

there is a link on the main site somewhere . ive sold out of my CNC machined ones . the fuelling capability exists in the software via the AMM , as it supplys the correct fuel quantity for the air quantity . now the ecu will take that information and more from other sensors , like rpm , inlet temp knock etc , set the boost level , fuelling and ignition accordingly, if anythings wrong it takes steps to prevent harm to the engine . so in theory , if the injectors/amm were big enough you could run quite high boost , in accordance with the above parameters , since the ecu can adjust it from its lookup tables . a remap , redifines those parameters to take into account the higher boost/rpm etc . Ive yet to hear anybody putting maybe 30-40% bigger injectors and a corresponding bigger AMM and see what boost they can run without fault codes and stuff like that .
