how much for mapping and where ??

Mapping gets best of mods you have but due to cost should usually be the last thing you do. As if you go a step further you will have to pay nearly the same again to remap to your cars new spec. Like a remp before and after cams.
Wayne at chipwizard currently has a 2 week waiting list.

last time monkey had his remapped at waynes (chip wizards) the cost was summat like £20....
but it isnt long since itd been done the first time.
they dont need to be piggy back ecus to be able to change the map....or standalone for that matter.
just takes someone who knows wot they doin with the ecu/chip to sort it out again...

If you want the best you'd go for proper ECU upgrades. Piggy backs like the Unichip or Andy's SMT's are good.
Standalone for the best and widest range of tuning.
Plug and play chips aren't all that hence why you hardly see any one with them any more.
I'm sure Andy will tell you the difference in results and the old saying - you get what you pay for.

can the smt6s be mapped to a higher rev limit now??
the plug and play chips are s**t. the best chip is one thats mapped to suit ur car. whether it be standalone, or a re-mapped chip refitted to oe ecu.
dependant on the mods the standalone is an expensive, unnecassary piece of kit. as are the piggy backs.extra waterproofing is needed and imo they do look a bit untidy.
the standalone, as i said earlier, are the best dependant on mods, some ppl can re-chip the oe ecu to give gains better than the piggy backs, and also as good as the standalones to a certain point, again dependant on mods.
throttle bodies/turbo on the mk 1s are the only things that need anything other than a re chipped ecu.
chip wizards is not only a genius on mk 1 clios either.ask the porsche/vw/lotus/honda/bentley/merc/maseratti etc drivers whov had work done by him......lol
and as has been said previously on this thread, u get what u pay for in most cases, some ppl overcharge for work thats inferior imo.

If plug and play chips are so bad, why do the fastest non T/B cars on here run Rsport or GrpN ECU's?
Neil and Chris have Rsport's and run 14.1's.....
A piggy back ECU will obviously be better, but it's more expensive and is ultimately only as good as the person who is mapping it.

in answer to your question....how many are actually running chips mapped to suit ? especially by someone who knows what they are doing??
errrr none i dont think.....wen they do wel see how they compare.
kill power chips, superchips etc used to be the ones to use for off the shelf, and they had good results, better than std, but other cars with diff chips have now surpassed em. chips that have been mapped to suit. even with less mods
piggy backs are pretty s**t too imo....they kinda of a 1/2 assed attempt at ecu work.
not quite a full re-map , not quite a standalone system.
i have faith in the std ecu mod to be as good if not better than a piggy back mod.

err mine cost 15 quid last time 2live I ain't made of money 
Chris n Nics car will fly when they get it mapped by Wayne, I bet my ass on that, the R-sport is good, but wayne's will be better, it has to be, the map will suit the car.
Can't see how a piggy back one could be better than a map on your standard ECU, well unless your running something completly diff from standard like bodies or turdbo

hehe should be even quicker soon
A chip cant control things like ignition timing or give you more fuel where you need it in the rev range at specific critical points. Finely mapping a car to get the best results is a car to car basis. You HAVE to have the car on the road or the rollers plugged into a computer to see exactly whats happening, every engine is different and will require a personal map.
Plug in chips are an absolute waste of money IMO, something for people who wanna tune on a tiny budget that really shouldnt bother.
I wouldn't say an rSport ecu is a chip - is it not a replacement for the standard ecu?
A unichip will cost about £470 fitted and mapped if you go to the right place and will be 100% better than any crappy chip you solder on to the standard ecu. That prob kill the car in the long run any way.
