My dad wants a remap, and so far ive looked on the AMD website which give the following:
Stage 1 - including rolling road time, mapping, fitting, 'before/after' plots of power and torque, test drive. Workshop time about 3 hours. Performance gains approx. 20 bhp, 15-20 lbs ft torque. £350.00
204bhp to 224bhp approx.
But ive being reading mixed views on AMD recently, has anyone had any experience or can recommend anymore?

If I remember a previous topic on here, AMD are not to be touched.

dont touch AMD, jabba sport is the only place to go, but as said im not sure if they do the slow motions
i would suggest contacting them and see if they want to have a go, if not revo ?
TBH there isnt much gain to be had out of the engines without a form of forced induction

they can disconnect the 4wd unit to run on 2wd rollers i believe, AmD - Cowboys wouldnt touch them, id rather keep the car unchipped. Both myself and JR have had an interesting discussion with a former employee, opeed our eyes a bit thats for sure.

and probably got a RR figure 30bhp over what it actually is... Its personal choice, but if you wanted something done to a car, wouldnt you want to know how bad a company really can be? Hence i thought i better post up about this to stop anyone being ripped off.
