Fancy yanking up the price too is that because of a fancy magazine feature .....
My PFL that MRC have remapped is nothing short of sensational now. If at some point in the future I get a FL RS3 or TTRS it will be going back to them.
As a novice at the tuning game, I do however have a question...
How can some tuners get so much more/less from a remap? Surely there's only so many things you can tinker with (fuel/air/boost and so on) so why don't they all get more or less the same, seeing as they must all be of a certain expertise?
£1450 as they first advertised would have tempted quite a few people to give them a shot but can’t see anyone jumping at the new £2050 ‘package’ price though.
Doesn't this price include intake and intercooler....plus the tune? If so, seems like they did an initial cheap price for early adopters to jump on and now there's more players in the market the price is back to what wouldn't lose them money....

I'm confused! My RS3 is tuned by MRC and is sensational. I was saying that any new car I get would go back to MRC, not to Litchfield?LOL... i wouldnt.... mate of mine has a 600hp r35... and was running rings around a supposed Litchfield 1000bhp r35... on the straights..!!!!!.......the litchfield r35 owner couldnt believe it!!!
but hey numbers are numbers right??!
Well Litchfield have gone and blown it.
The original price when they released their stage 2 combined package was £1450 all in which was a very attractive price and had the potential of luring customers away from their preferred VAG tuner (APR / MRC / Revo etc). That's shot up by over £600 over the last month to just over £2050. Litchfield have now lost their USP over the other tuners.
In addition to that, their map doesn't seem all that great. Forget the headline figures, if memory serves me correct, the standard car dyno'd at 437bhp and the modified Stage 2 car dyno'd at 504bhp. The delta change is 67bhp so hardly earth shattering. The same car on a tighter dyno might only be giving 465-470bhp.
They should stick to tuning Datsuns. Really disappointed that they've increased the Stage 2 price by as much as they have done. Cheeky beggars also charge an extra £108 for a before and after dyno session aswell.
You've blown it Ian (If you're reading).

Sorry bud I meant to quote Leo-rsI'm confused! My RS3 is tuned by MRC and is sensational. I was saying that any new car I get would go back to MRC, not to Litchfield?
From the evidence we have so far in these dyno plots...
Litchfield increases Stage 1 power by 48bhp and if Stage 2, by 67bhp
MRC increases Stage 1 power by 82ps (81bhp), Stage 2 unknown.
Did MRC dyno low? (394ps as opposed to 400ps) ......Weak example and barely run in?
Did Litchfield dyno high? (437bhp as opposed to 394bhp).....Strong example and suitably run in?
You would need a lot more samples to compare like for like.
Still very early days.
