Yes, its had more than just a std remap
Other than the usual ECU tweeking its had some hardware upgrades too. Initially the car had an EcoTune std flash remap, the generic type... Car went very well, and would do 50mpg on a run and even 35mpg towing my race car!
Following the hardware upgrades, I knew the only way to get the most from it, was a custom map, rather then a generic flash. I took the car to a local company to get it custom mapped for more power. The result was more power, but now the car struggled to do 35mpg on a run!?!? - I deleted that map, and over wrote it back with the EcoTune map again.
Anyways, a few weeks after that I was working In Glasgow, where Ecotune are based, I dropped the car with them, went to work, and picked it up a few hours later. The graph show the before (Ecotune Generic map) and after (Ecotune Custom Map). The car also averaged 45mpg on the 500 mile round trip, inc the time the car was on the dyno.
It just goes to show that a) all tuners are not equal (Ecotune got me the power AND economy) b) the advantage of a good custom tune, over a generic tune.
The limitation on my car is now the turbos, as they have now reached their max airflow. Hybrid turbos are the next step, they are £2.5k, but should see 435bhp / 630ft/lb.
