Hi,
Newbie here, so be gentle :)
I have a 2002 Peugeot 406 2.0 HDI 110bhp and would like to squeeze some more power out of it. The obvious thing to do is obviously a remap by a reputable company which is fine and I have used one to remap my old 2.1TD engine with no problems.
However, with 1000's of "map" files floating around the internet and the availability of flashing tools on Bay of e, I was wondering if it was possible to do it yourself. Reading around on the forums here, it seems that those "eBay" or "free" files are useless and potentially dangerous. Fair point.
What I was wondering was, is whether it was possible for me to get flashing tool, read the original map from my ECU, send that map file to a reputable company who would remap it for me and then send the file back to me. Are there any such services available?
It seems that a lot of tuning companies have a database of files for each engine type and they use these to flash the ECU in a matter of minutes. This would also be fine for me, if such a service was available - where I could buy a good remapped file for my car, without having to spend hours on remapping an original map.
If anyone can help with this, that would appreciated.
Thanks
CJ
