Title: Remapping 115GTTDi
Post by: BenGTTDi on 15 September 2009, 10:50: Hi Guys,

I just been looking through the forum is looks like R-tech remap these cars to around 140-150bhp

I have been looking on the superchips website and they claim 160bhp form the 115pd engine!

Is this possible?

Cheers,

Post by: RTechUK on 15 September 2009, 18:38: The limiting factor is the small 115pd VNT turbo, they can make good overboost and hold boost well to give a nice torque band but they dont hold high boost to well so tuning below 150bhp is to keep the turbo cooler and safe.
Our torque bands tend to last longer than most other remap, which makes them really smooth across the whole band, not a nasty spike then nothing.

IMO 160bhp from the 115pd VNT is trying a bit too much.

Maybe the GT130 would be a better buy. Looked on the fourm some people got over 170bhp from you guys.

Post by: T_J_G on 16 September 2009, 11:50: I don't think that's a 130 to be honest mate. Maybe a 110 or a 115. The wheels are the ones I had on my 110 TDI.And those seats aren't Recaros.

Post by: BenGTTDi on 16 September 2009, 11:53: How can you tell when your looking around one of these cars what model they are 115/130/150?

Is a plaque or something in the engine bay?

Cheers,

Post by: T_J_G on 16 September 2009, 11:56: It comes up on insurance as a GT TDI 110 mate. So it's NOT a 130.

What wheels, ride height, best best is to put reg into an insurance site.

Post by: Rhyso on 16 September 2009, 12:06: 115 is AJM
130 is ASZ
150 is ARL

130's were only produced from 2001 onwards :wink:

Post by: BenGTTDi on 16 September 2009, 12:37: Ha ha, Thank you for that. Very usefull. I look in the boot first before I ask the seller to take off the engine cover. I can imagine the coverstion. Me: Can I can take the engine cover off? Seller: Why? Me: Because I think you maybe lieing about the model of this car! :laugh:

Post by: T_J_G on 16 September 2009, 12:50: Hah! Yeah it may also be on a sticker (the same as the one in the boot) in the service book.
