Thank you very much leighton
How much does it cost? If its only a bit more than a seb chip then I dont see why its a waste of money. He gains more power than he would ever do with a Seb at this stage. I never gained more than 154 with any of my seb 0´s. He even got better hp than some turbo upgraded GT´s. A live remap is always better.
I'm fed up of the SEB bashing. SEB0 is a 160hp chip, to get 154 from it isn't bad.
If you wanted 170, you should've put your hand in your pocket and bought the GT3 model and stuck a SEB2 in it. This is a 170hp chip.
I'm all for individual mapping, but it seems a bit lame to state one of your reasons as "not wanting to follow the sheep" . Too much emphasis on the word "custom"

I had 2 of them so clearly I was happy with them or I would not get one again, would I.
This is from the guide:
GT1 Seb0 - GT1 running a recommended 1.2bar, you can run upto 1.35bar in short burts.
Use a bleed valve or other boost control device (NOT the original pierburg valve, this needs to be disconnected),
Direct airfilter (induction kit),
Free flowing exhaust (magnex, scorpion, peco, Janspeed, Powerflow etc)
Catalyst or no catalyst (Scorpion Decat pipe).
This will return in the region of 160-165hp on a standard car (~170hp @ 1.35bar).
7300rpm limiter and 3bar boost cuts.
Mapped for power.
160-165hp on a standard car (~170hp @ 1.35bar). ???
I dont think so.
I have made an upgrade now so I actually will reach into my pocket and do a remap insted of a seb4.
I see no Seb bashing here?
i have never once said that i disliked the seb chips, read through the thread and you'll see that i didn't mension anything bad about them. other people have started the debate about them not me.I'm fed up of the SEB bashing. SEB0 is a 160hp chip, to get 154 from it isn't bad.

well you havn't read this thread then have you, i have a GT3 which had a seb2 chip, not a GT1 with the seb0.
It was a sweeping statement. Whenever a remap and SEB are mentioned in the same thread there's always one or two that jump on the bandwagon and/or wont be told.
I saw you had a GT3 so what makes you think I was aiming my statement at you?
Doesn't matter much anyway, as I say, it was more of a sweeping statement. If anything it was more PuntoSwed I was referring to, and PuntoGT0454689097980 with his cheap shot
yes but thats just like religion (?) lol, there is always going to be a debate on which one is better.It was a sweeping statement. Whenever a remap and SEB are mentioned in the same thread there's always one or two that jump on the bandwagon and/or wont be told.

but as you didn't quote me i assumed that you were referring to me.
disagree with you there mate, for the extra cost on top of a new seb chip, it is far from a waste of money. Gains over the entire rpm range, much better driveability off boost and part throttle. It doesnt turn the car into a monster but it makes it a lot better to drive all round and pulls noticeable harder through the entire rev range. Its not just about peak figure increase
I've always said I would do this eventually with my car (when it's on the road for long enough
Nothing against SEBs at all, so no bashing here.
