BAS remap Puma - Reviews / Updates?

Another area people are unaware of is oil temp.
Been watching mine and have seen temps over 125 deg.
Engine will derate at 140 deg.
Looking at another oil cooler system.

I have my ultraguage temp alarm set at 100deg...and back off immediately if it goes off. It only ever happens on a long hill. Dropping a gear drops temps below 100deg quickly. Whilst not as good as an EGT gauge, it’s good to know that temps of 110deg should be ok, so dropping back if it hits 100dg makes it a safer bet.

It appears that on balance the 150 tune with up-rated intercooler, combined with backing off/dropping back to 5th or 4th on long hills is the way to go. Preferably also install a straight through exhaust deleting 1st muffler, a snorkel for cooler cleaner air intake and an EGT gauge to be on the safe side.

In lieu of going to the expense of installing an EGT gauge, whilst not as accurate, would keeping an eye on the engine temp with an Ultragauge with an alarm set also be a way to monitor safe engine temps?

This is what I have done, BAS 150, bigger intercooler, centre muffler delete and CAT delete, the 110 goes quite well with the ability to overtake slower vehicles, AND the best thing is that when it is 38 degrees outside the cabin remains cool, unlike when the CAT was fitted.
I did have issues twice with other ECU retunes where I holed a piston....twice.....thus 2 engine rebuilds and new liner/s....not too happy with that outcome neither was the wife..... So i switched to the BAS tune instead as I could fit new injectors and program them in using the BAS software.
The scangauge shows the water temp sitting around 90 degrees on the highway and 98 up hills, never gone above 100....

Quick query I'm hoping someone might be able to help with. Remapped my 2.2 this week to 170hp. May reduce it to 150hp for the longterm, just testing at the moment.

Does the BAS remap block the EGR as standard or do you need to select it in the app or request it from Pete? I couldn't see the option in the app anywhere, and Pete hasn't returned my email about it.

Thanks

You need to request it as an add on when you order from Pete.

He will answer.

Roger, I will try again with Pete on Monday. Thanks mate.

Are you sure?
I was never asked the question, I thought it was standard.

I think it is standard now, was optional on the 150 map

Pete got back to me. Can confirm it's standard in the remap now.
