<{POST_SNAPBACK}>So im remapping the st soon and i just wondered is the dreamscience worth the extra money over the bluefin?? and if so why? or if there are any others work having?
cheers
I've been quite fortunate to have driven most of the products. They are all actually very good & deliver similar results.
If warranty is important the Mountune package is the one or Dreamscience is great for totally standard cars that can easily be returned to stock
before service.
I have a Dreamscience hand-set & do actually switch between maps. It is very personal, and everyone will have different opinions.
I find Performance+ is pretty much spot-on for everyday driving and returns slightly better than stock MPG.
For track days I like the appropriately named Race+ map. Thinking of upgrading my hand-set to try Mod A,B,C.
My only caveat is that a re-map on a standard car is good but the big difference is when you improve the flow overall with
an induction kit/ECU spacer, sports cat, IC etc. And this is where the complete tuning packages from
Code:Red, Mountune etc
score very highly because they remove all the variables & consequently their maps are very smooth.
They seem expensive, but, you'll probably end up spending that much in the end & the mix/match results you finally converge to
can't be test driven so there's a bit of a lottery.
Personally I would go for a DS because it still has a residual value unlike Bluefin and the results will be broadly similar,
and you might be suprised how often you switch maps. If you have more £££s then I would seriously consider one of the packages.
You won't believe how much better the car is, honestly.
Get it done.
