hi all i have a completly standard 1999 mk4 18t im thinking of getting it mapped but how much quicker is a mapped one over standard .
-
Awaits replys. It will be alot quicker think the remap will give you 195bhp on your engine.

I had my AGU remapped by R~Tech yesterday and i couldnt be happier with the car.
Not only does the additional power and torque make a huge difference to the outright performance but the power delivery is also much smoother, has a much crisper throttle response and the car even feels better off boost.
The remap is available for only £150 at the moment. Do it!
:smiley:

Total transformation, mate. Get on the blower to R-Tech.
0-60 from 8.5 secs to late 6's. 8)

Where's the remap available for £150?. Sounds like a good price
-
Search for R-Tech January offers. ;)

To my knowledge its £150 + call out charge. Dont know what the call out charge is.
Got them to remap my MK5 and am a happy bunny.
DO IT !
-
Is there any difference between the MK4 & MK5 mapped?
-
Yeah lol
They have diffrent engines to start with. Mine is a 2.0T running 200bhp as standard and is now putting out about 250bhp give or take and the MK4 is a 1.8T running 150bhp standard and puts out about 200bhp give or take after a remap.
Thats the long and short of it.
-
Very nice. :smiley:
So as standard is the MK5 about the same as a mapped 1.8t or is this where torque comes into it?
-
Very nice. :smiley:
not as nice as a remapped derv :smug: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

Id say a remaped 1.8T would be pretty much on a par with a MK5 there or there abouts. I know Tim said he had an encounter and left a MK5 drive shocked, but they are pretty much the same. Without blowing my own trumpet too much me remaped mk5 is the dogs big bits, so much fun.
Cant wait to show Rhyso what petrol power is all about next week :D lol ;)

thanks for all the replys looks like im gonna get it remapped then should i change my standard recirc valve to a forge recirc

Mapped 1.8T's will have more torque than a std Mk5. I left one quite easily about a year a go. I'd imagine I'd be struggling a bit compared to Alan D's though, LOL!! :D

Interesting, as I said Tim said he left on but I took it with a pinch of salt, now that 2 people say it im won over. Iv got to say that If a reasonably normal looking MK4 embarrassed me I would be doing my nut it in lol :D(luckily that wont happen lol)
Torque is the new BHP.

You dont have to but it advisable as the increased boost run by a remap means the existing VW one is prone to go pop.
-
my mk4 creamed stock mk5's.. had a bit more than just a remap though obviously.. would've liked to have put it up against a stock ED30 to see how it faired.
-
with this remapping what effect does it have on the fuel economy. obviously all that power needs to come from somewhere but when its done does it feel like you may aswell have a whole in your tank or would i be pleasantly supprised?
-
If you drive gently, MPG is BETTER. If you drive hard, MPG is worse. Try resisting driving hard when it's mapped, though!!! :D
