Re: To Remap or not to Remap? That is the question!
The only reasons to remap a normally aspirated car are: 1. You have made some modifications to the engine. 2. You are running it on unusually bad or unusually good fuel and want to match the mapping to get the most out of the fuel 3. You are running at a different altitude all of the time. 4. You ha...

Is the construction a wire inside an aluminium sleeve, and the sleeve not electrically connected?
If so, then I suggest you test one as the aluminium will severely attenuate the rf signal.
