Cool mod. Question: Do you really have to do 'running in' after a remap, why?
You have to "run in/break in" the car after a remap because you want to teach the car to learn its full potential since it is unlocked. That is why you want to drive it hard for the first 200 miles.

If you drive it like a grandma, its going to act like a grandma. But you drive it hard after the remap, it will adjust to its full potential.

For Asia/EU, I need to check with the programmer.

'running in' ?
Running in...meaning "break in" or letting the ECU adapt to the new map.

Guys, if its already unlocked, shouldn't it always available on tap, regardless of how you drive the 1st 200 mile? Don't mean to antagonise anyone. Thanks

No, its like riding a bike. You can't ride it right away. You have take the small steps first. Any ECU remap company will tell you this.
