Not been, but RS4 guys have been and rate it, its recognised as being pretty good. AmD are just upgrading theirs to equivalent power output but more importantly they now have the capacity to calibrate theirs weekly - this ensures the most accurate figures. They'll let me know when its done. In the meantime a RR day at GForce would be good.

Very informative website and it looks like a fantastic RR Steve. Couldn't quite figure out where they are based though?

Steve, do they remap the standard ECU or use a 'piggy back' like most of the Elise tuners? I'd guess they piggy back but would be nice to know Paul

  • Interests:Currently drive a TVR Cerbera but I fancy a change. I'm not 100% sure what to go for next as there isn't much to compete with the performance and image of the cerbie. I've been thinking of the Elise/VX as they're so different from the TVR, bit unsure about the whole sill issue though, at 6'1 with a narrow garage getting in and out could be an issue!

Hmmmm, none of the Elise tuners use piggy back chips 'cos there aren't any that will work with the rover k. Most common chip used if the Emerald M3D which is a full swap.

I didn't say piggy back chip I just said piggy back. I was under the impression that the Emerald was piggy backed on the standard ECU as the standard ECU ran the Stack display and immobiliser...
