"Re-maped a Vauxhall Insignia"

Bought a Vauxhall Insignia 2 months ago. Seemed a little underpowered and a lot of revs to go from first to second. Checked a few companies who do a remap and spoke to Ewan at Octane Tuning at Haddington. Dropped car off 2 days later. After approx 2 hrs drove a different car home. Extra lowdown torque cured the gap between first and second. Extra power was a bonus it's not far off the performance of my Z4. Very Very pleased. If your looking for a remap give them a ring you will not be dissapointed.

"Mini Cooper S Clubman…"

Just had my Mini Cooper S Clubman remapped. Mid range is now amazing, acceleration incredible and drive ability hugely improved. Great job

"Top class service"

Top class service! Great and happy environment and the job was next to none! With previous problems from other tuning companies octane tuning managed to get it done without a problem! Highly recommend

"Great service went to get dpf clean but…"

Great service went to get dpf clean but that didn't work as was clogged told to bring it back in and had done a much thorough job with it now it feels like a completely different car well chuffed

"Fiat 500 Abarth remap, brilliant"

I own a Fiat 500 Abarth which I know can be mapped but was unsure who to trust to do it. Euan came recommended by a friend and presented me with my options, explaining very well what each entailed. I opted for a stage 1 map which is just brilliant. I didn’t think it would make THAT much difference but it’s really opened it up, just pulls and pulls. Definitely smoother too. Euan was a terrific guy to deal with and overall it was a really great experience, can’t recommend him highly enough.

"Massive thanks to Octune Tuning for…"

Massive thanks to Octune Tuning for getting my Audi seen to soo quickly. Great knowledge about cars, 100% recommend to everyone!

"Mercedes GLA 200d"

This is the second car I have had remapped by Euan and I have to say once again the results are brilliant. The car now actually responds as it should when I press the accelerator and it pulls through every gear even in 6th. The engine now seems to run a lot quieter and the acceleration is unbelievable compared to the standard 136bhp. Highly recommend to anyone, get your car remapped you won't believe the difference. Once again a highly professional service Euan thanks again,
AMcG

"Bmw 435d stage 1 remap"

Used Euan's services for a stage 1 remap on a bmw 435d. Can't fault the remap with noticeable gains on acceleration through the gear with any turbo lag gone.

Highly recommend!

"Excellent!"

Excellent service from somebody who really knows his stuff.

"I recently bought an Audi A4 3.0 TDI V6…"

I recently bought an Audi A4 3.0 TDI V6 Quattro with a fairly sketchy service history. Within a week, I was getting an EGR fault code. I suspect the previous owner had just deleted the fault codes and hoped they wouldn't turn up on a test drive.

I spent about another week researching common issues and problems with this engine. Finally I decided to get the EGR sorted and the engine remapped.

I chose Octane Tuning as the website was quite nice, it was quite close and the reviews were pretty good. I think I may also have been a bit drunk and just had to pick somewhere after endless Googling...

Having said that I was still in a wary mood as I drove down to Haddington and I had a list of questions to ask Euan before he started work (hey, a week of Googling pretty much makes you an expert right?!)

He took my questions in good spirit and I was placated. But most importantly he seemed like a genuine guy who just liked tuning cars. So I left my key and went away for a dander around Haddington.

I've never been for a dander around Haddington. It's so posh. And quite lovely. An "All Creatures Great And Small" kind of place. Apart from the industrial estate and the cheaper houses on the outskirts of town...

If you haven't been you may as well throw in a remap and a weekend away at the same time (no fee was paid for this review).

Anyway, I'm finally writing this 2 weeks later, after having done about 600 miles.

And...all is well.

On a steady 70 mph run I'm getting 48.7 mpg, which is bloody good for an old V6 from 2004 (and which has a satisfying vibrating burble when stationary).

Around town it's a fairly dismal mid 20's but I can accept this.

There are no warning lights and I can see that the DPF is regenerating via OBD scanner.

Can I tell if it's faster? In all truth no. But that's because I didn't really boot it prior to the remap. And it was quick anyway.

Post remap, all I can say is that if I boot it from virtually any speed then everything becomes illegal or scary within five seconds. And that's fast enough for me on a public road in a pretty big old barge, even if it is a Quattro. I haven't approached the limits of this car. If I do I'll probably end up in a field, banned or dead.

And finally, Euan said if I had any problems I could come back and see him (this is good as I'm just about to get a main Audi dealer service and hope they don't muck about with the map). He saves the original map so it can be restored.

Now wondering if I should get the gearbox remapped so I can die 0.2 seconds faster.

Just kidding God!
