GTi 1.8 Remap / Chip
« on: 21 September 2014, 19:41 »
So, what options are available for chipping and remapping?

Is it just a case of taking it to a tuning shop and have the remap, or are there chip packages that can be installed like the the calibra turbo?

Also is there an option for dual mapping e.g. normal and then switch to the performance map?

As said take it to r-tech.
Chipping is a load of rubbish for these cars. Too many different parameters that need fine tuning.
R-tech do custom maps and will get the best results capable from your personal hardware. Try can also map in upto 5 switchable maps Into your standard Ecu

I've had a good look at R-Tech :D

After i havethe boost issue resolved, the re-map from these guys will be next on my list of mods... Looks like they do an amazing service, and dyno before and after.

Well worth the cost
