I now know why they are called WOW.............
That's the sound you make when you first drive away after they've updated your ecu.
I had this done at the Northwest show by Adam, who explained what he was doing throughout the 45 minutes it took to re-progamme the ecu.
Initial impressions were of much more power, and we're talking torque here. In the words of the saying..."You buy horsepower - you drive torque"
And believe me, there is a lot more. My weedy 2.4 Transit engine now benefits from 75+ more torques.
Why is this a good thing?
It makes for a safer drive.
There is now power to do that overtake safely that you would not have attempted before.
You get to your cruising speed more quickly, which allows you to feather the throttle sooner, which will translate to increased mpg figures (hopefully).
I have yet to see how it copes with some Pennine hills, but so far I am very impressed.
In years gone by, I'd be skimming heads, fitting bigger valves, changing camshafts etc etc.
Now it's all done by plugging a laptop into a diagnostic socket.
£255 well spent.
