Morning mate!! Yeah, Litchfield do Off The Shelf (OTS) Stage 1 and Stage 2 maps. They also do Custom Tuning but for that you need to take your vehicle to them, not an option for me living in the Highlands of Scotland. Lol!! The OTS Maps are pre-loaded onto a COBB Accessport and are plug n play, Stage 1 is ready to go on a standard RS and for Stage 2 you need upgraded Air Intake, Intercooler, Sports Cat and Exhaust. The maps come with 3 options depending on the Octane rating of fuel that you use. The maps are easily installed by connecting the COBB to your vehicle and downloading your Engine ECU’s standard software which is stored in the COBB Handset, the map of your choice (depending on the fuel you use) is then uploaded into the Engine ECU and your good to go!!
The reason I chose Litchfield was because the Power and Torque you get is superb and in my opinion is one the safest maps out there as the Boost runs at 23 psi all day long, unlike REVO for example that kicks between 28 to 30 psi of Boost into your Cylinders!! Too much for a standard 2.3 EcoBoost in my opinion. My Engine is standard internally so for me this map was the one to go for as the power is derived from changes to the Fuelling and Timing rather than just screwing the Boost right up!!
The map feels great straight out the box and I clocked up 2,000 miles before doing any data logging. I’ve now done 5,500 miles on this Stage 2 map and the car hasn’t missed a single beat!! I’ve written this as simply and descriptive as I can so that anybody reading it that isn’t that clued up about this kinda stuff will hopefully understand how it all works. I think I read somewhere that you were going for Litchfield Stage 2 in the future, well I think your definitely making the right choice mate!! I’d love to get a Custom Tune done by them but it’s so far away from me, but you never know!!
Cheers, Marc.
