Astra H VXR – K06 Mapping
This Astra H VXR Nürburgring is a well loved and enjoyed example having covered some 110,000 miles, but it always gets regular 5,000 mile oil changes.

A VX220 Turbo in need of correct mapping and set up. We were asked to carry out a health check due to the feeling of holding back when on track, so we data logged the ecu to see what a competitor’s map was doing, with quite unbelievable results.
We then set about carrying out a full bespoke ecu remap and set up with fantastic results.
