      I do believe Automark are based around Middlesborough. No persoanl experience, but I do believe Aelred uses them which would be recommendation enough for me.

                Automark is great at mapping unless you want the N75 valve working...

                Happy to help but I'm now in my new workshop in Otley, Leeds. (Not Bradford anymore! Vasilis)

                    The problem is the engine pulses between 1000 and 1300 rpm only when up to temp runs fine when cold. i tryed everything new sensors isv ect but no luck. ok a few places to consider then.

                    leeds is fine used to be a student there.

                    using electronic boost control so no n75.

                        Sounds like TPS isn't set right or is faulty, two screws hold it on, with the TB shut you you should hear a click, vagcom should show in measuring blocks the status of the TB aswell

                          True, though he can if you insist map the boost map and leave the N75 in place.

                          He said to me that over the years he has found the N75 to be so unreliable on high power cars that hes happier to manage boost manually.

                          His customers generally live many miles from him and when they complained the car wasn't going as it was!! it was often down to the N75 but with them living so far away he could not verify it, hence decided to use manual boost control which he has found to be more reliable.

                          In terms of protection the ECU has its own boost safety limit protection which will put the car in limp mode if reached + knock sensors look after detonation.

                          Food for thought anyway...

                            Another vote for Automark from me. Mark is a top bloke and really knows his stuff.

                            Cheers

                              The TPS was the first thig checked and replaced as i suspected that as the fault.

                              ok thanks guys plenty of food for thought.
