Hi guys,
I'm no expert on tuning, so would appreciate a little help.
I've been looking at getting an LSD and possibly stage 1 remap of my car.
I've heard Birds have a good reputation so I've been looking at their site. They do an engine tune, but only when paired with something else, take for example with the Quaife LSD.
The Quaife LSD fitted with their engine tune is a £4.5k package, and that's a lot of money.
They do offer the LSD fitted alone and that comes in at £2.5k, if you deduct that from their paired package that places a value of £2k on their remap. And that's a lot of ****ing money to take the car up to 390bhp. I contacted them and they've told me they warranty the engine for 12 months, and that appears to be partly the justification for the cost.
But still, that seems absolutely crazy to me given a similar remap can be done by someone like Lichfield for £600. Or is it similar?
From what Birds told me the remap they do is something that isn't tailored for each car is something that's optimised for the engine as a one size fits all thing.
Where is this huge cost premium coming from? Is that the same as all these other remaps?
Am I missing something? Can't get my head around the differences in cost.
Any help/advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers
