Hello all,
I'm wondering if anyone can help, I know its not the easiest to answer over a keyboard but its worth a try. I've done a quick search and cannot seem to see something.
I've driven plenty of MK7 GTI's over the years, and due to the turbo you get that kick of torque as the turbo spools up. However I've recently picked up a MK7 GTI that Ive been told is remapped (no idea by who) and it has a THUMP of torque at just over 2k revs, but it plateaus out very quickly and I'm finding I need to change gear to get moving again, this is well before 6k revs.
I've gotten to the point where I put my foot down the tiniest bit and the torque hits, but its not smooth and it doesn't particularly feel drive-able, its not controllable and its pretty much all or nothing. A few years ago I had a Fabia vRS and was involved on the Forums, it was common knowledge that Revo used to give more of a torque kick but were ruining clutches, where other companies such as Shark at the time did a lot smoother maps.
My question is, does this sound like I could have a 'Revo' style map, and are there any maps out there that are alot smooter with a more 'driveable' torque curve? I'm happy to have less power, just want a more enjoyable drive.
Tar!
