Saturday Funday at GBE!
We had a busy day at the workshop on Saturday with a number of different cars and kits to be playing with. A few highlights of the day include: VW T4 Van Remap This van came in from one of our friends for a quick remap to blow the cobwebs out and get the best out of the engine. Not the usual day-to-day, but certainly something we're more than happy to do for you; if you've got a van that could do with a remap, get in touch to book in for a session. We see gains of up to 40bhp on...

BMW E60 535D Remap, Setup and Results
A 160k miles BMW 535d in for a remap, totally stock car still running the DPF. This car is a fine example of a BMW; higher mileage yet still delivering great power and torque.

VW Golf 1.4 TSI Remap, Setup and Results
We had a lovely VW Golf 1.4 TSI in for a flash map on Saturday. This car belongs to a friend of ours who was very curious to see what performance gain he could get form the standard car with just a remap. VW Claim the car has 124 bhp and 148 lbs/ft of torque from new. However, we know that most Volkswagen cars are quite understated. We did a dyno run before the flash/remap and this is the result: The car made 134 bhp and 172 lbs/ft torque; quite a bit over its standard figure. This is on a stock...
