Wow, that's a big jump on the re-map... Best advice on the dump valve is to ask whoever is doing the re-map, as it may influence the new settings ;)

Thats a huge jump! Might take a pinch of salt with it? Do you really want a dump value? No performance increase what so ever!

I Have re-mapped my 120D automatic using Bluefin from Superchips. BHP increased from 177 to 221 but the best bit is the increase in torque from 350nm to 453nm. If you use the extra for pleasure, you will drink diesel, but a light right foot gives over 50mpg average, and the power is always there when you need it. You can also return the settings to original if you want but the result will make you change back quickly!!! Hope I'm not too late for you.
