Hi guys looking to go to stage 1 on my MK6 Golf GTI, probably will go with Rtech, anyone staged 1 theres? and what were the results? also would a stage 2 be better? as I was told a MK6 GTI runs better on a stage 1 map
-
Welcome! :smiley:
I had a mk6 GTI back in 2009 with one of the very first REVO maps for that engine. Money very well spent!
I had another a couple years later and put a Bluefin map on it just to see how different it was.
Rtech are good I’d think, they’ve been doing their thing for a while now.
Stage 1 is as much as you’d need for road use but if things are wearing out then replacing with uprated and going stage 2 will give you that little bit more.
Personally I’d stick with stage 1.
-
I’m also considering doing a stage 1 for my mk6 - what is actually done to get it fully stage 1 ? Also is it possible to eradicate wheel shudder when accelerating in first 1st n 2nd gear ? As noticed it a lot on my car thanks
-
Stage 1 is just an ECU flash.
To eliminate wheel hop you’ll need to do the bushes, not a bad idea to do them anyway if the car has done a few miles
-
How much roughly is having the bushes done ?

I had mine done in 2016 with R-Tech, see below for the graph. My standard BHP was measured at 220 on Shell V Power, this was boosted to 255.
However, if you are getting this done, upgrade your coil packs at the same time, I had one fail the very next day.
The other "downside" so to speak is that I now have to fill up only with Tesco Momentum or Shell V Power fuel. I was told that filling up with standard 95 fuel would hurt the engine.

what coil pack would you recommend? Would spark plugs need changing too ?

I have just bought these coil packs and plugs, currently waiting for them to be delivered.

Please let me know how you get on ? Will you install it yourself? Or get a garage to do it ?

Dude so so sorry for such a late response. Im new to the forum and have only just now seen that people actually responded back to my post! :whistle:
Thank you for the response. Still haven't mapped it yet, have had a few issues with the car but now all sorted. These few issues have put me off mapping it to be honest. And I dont know about you but I feel that these engines (MK6 GTI) may not be able to take too much added power, what do you think?

20p a litre more for diesel than petrol here . Im using my petrol cars more than the Leon TDI I normally use for daily stuff so I've actually gone the other way :grin:

You will find that they make a fair bit more than std to start with mine went on 3 different sets of rollers at during the time I owned it and made between 225-230 always. It was totally std on v power.
