hello i have tried contacting andy forrest via fone and email i get 2 him through email but can never on the fone. does anyone know the best time to contact him on his fone? cheerz

03 November 2008, 19:44

I have never been able to get hold of him on the hone. Just have to be patient and wait on the replies in emails.

03 November 2008, 19:53

hes emailed back. but i would like to speak to him on the fone to go into more detail about the mapping and where we would meet. do you know if he gives to two maps so you can switch between high boost and low boost?

From what i'm lead to believe, Andy usually works at his garage as a one man show. So he'll probably be either out mapping or busy working on his own car, hence not always picking up the phone.
Like you said, he will answer your e-mails eventually (he must gets loads lol). Just keep them straight to the point and he'll answer any questions you have .

And yes you can get two settings with Ecutek or more depending on what system your using.

hes a busy man as it says on his website. the only problem is that i have been trying to get in touch with him for a mounth and he is the only person i would have to map my car.

I'm sure i read s/where that he'd been away on holiday mate plus he's been racing so all i can suggest is send a new e-mail and he will get back to you.
Sorry i can't help any more.

He will reply to your emails mate, but just give him time.

as dan2 says m8,
Ecutek gives you a high and low boost setting, never used low myself

simtech has more options and you can get different fuel maps, v-power, methanol, etc.. But it is very pricey.
all depends on your requirements

I booked my car in by email after sending a few discussing it etc. Probably took a few days in total, and all it involved was checking my emails every night which I do anyway. Was totally hastle free.

Then I showed up at his garage on time on the day - as did he. The car was mapped in the time he said it would be, the results of the mapping were excellent, and so was the way he answered every daft question I had. I then spent the whole journey home smiling because of the way my car was improved.

Just ask questions in detail by email. They surely don't have to be that long.

thanks for all your help i suppose i will just have to wait

i am hoping for around 340-350bhp with simular torque. mods to be fitted before the mapping is a 3" turbo back milltek with sports cat walbro 255 fuelp pump 3 port boost solnoid and k&n panel filter. does anyone know what the best boost solinoid i can buy? price is not an issue. thanks

I first emailed Andy about 3 weeks ago, he replied after about 2 days.
I emailed him again to ask a few questions which he replied to very quickly.
I booked my car in for 25th november which was his first available date.
I also couldnt get him on the phone, but he did reply to my emails.
He's a busy man which means he must be good.
I cant wait to get my map done.

P.S.
Dont mean to hijack but how do you change from one setting to the other with ecutek?

03 November 2008, 22:37

alan at as performance recons you press the dimster button on igition and hold the clutch in. am sure andy will let us both know when we get the mapping done.

03 November 2008, 22:39

il just book the car in via email with him then as soon as possible

thanks for everyones help

Not 100% sure, but I think he can set it to a few different switches. One I've heard of was the rear screen demister. And it still works the demister.

i would fit the pro drive 3 port (if needed) ,and as for the exhaust just fully decat and keep the 2.5 system and fit something like the afterburner bk box from scoobyworld

Apexi AVCR as that is what AndyF is used to mapping/playing.

04 November 2008, 15:04

exhaust, pump and filter is asking a bit for 350bhp imo

04 November 2008, 15:14

to change the boost settings on map you have to double tap the rear window heater button with throttle fully depressed

power wise on mine when mods where same as yours i got 357bhp and torque was 320+ mates got 350 and 319 torque but depends on car so just expect 330+ anything more is a bonus.

you wont be disappointed and he's a top bloke he's the only other person other than myself i trust with my car. and if your off up to him enjoy the roads
