Revo Dealer that is.. :evil:
Took about an hour or so but after uploading my current map to revo they sent down the latest map. Stuck it on the car and bob's your uncle. After speaking to the dealer he did mention that alot of people go for the generic map, however with each car being totally individual, its always better to adjust the settings to suit your own driving style and car.
From what I can remember its running on 6-6-4, although this will change as I switch back to 99ron and give it a few tankfuls for it to settle. Will go back in a couple of weeks for an update.
Well..... your probably wondering if the difference is noticable. OMG would be an easier way to describe it!! Immediately from start the car seems to have a little more urgency to it, and is ready to go. Second is pretty much the same story, with slippery roads it doesnt just spin as i thought it would but is very progressive, and allows you to apply the power slowly but surely. The increase in torque means no more downshifting to find the power... its just there.
In 3rd and it throws you back into your seat... it really is that much of a difference. why didnt GTI's come like this out of the box??? Coming from the R32 the GTI never felt fast... if not a little slow if I am honest. Now it pulls like a train!! Same story in 4th 5th & 6th. once the turbo kicks in it goes.
Overall one very happy bunny :grin: Looking forward to a couple of tankfulls of 99Ron and then another visit to dealers.. because if there is more power to be had than this I would be very suprised!!
final word..... getitdone :wink:
P.S Just to add that if anyone in the Leeds area want their car remapping then I was offered a good discount... so PM me for details :wink:
-
Well done that man!
Good isn't it?
Revo Kev told me the settings can't be adjusted the same on the mk6, only the fuel programs. Unless they have changed the maps? I'll have to have a word with either Revo or my local dealer.

I was told that there is a new patch that they would be sending down... how new I am not too sure. The dealer did mention that the MK6 GTI fuels alot better than the MK5... and therefore the maps are quite different.

Yeah, I think that's because of the better fuel pump in the EA888 Gilly
I'll check with Revo about software updates, I'd hate to think I'm missing out on a couple of bhp! :grin:

Definately worth following up.... switching to 99 may well be worthwhile also before you do so :smiley:

Has it made giving up the R32 a little easier to live with then? :wink:

Most definately... tbh the GTI has always felt quite slow. Thanks to Revo this has now been addressed :evil:

It's quite amazing the difference eh? How the car should feel from the factory.

Most definately! Also got a huge improvement in mpg too this morning :grin:
Usually average 36-38mpg on the way to work... this morning I managed 40.7mpg. Providing you stay away from the "zone" the low down torque really is wonderful, and I can only add to the numerous people on here chosing remaps, revo imparticular :nerd:

Heh everyone
Has anyone used VW's remap and if so is it decent enough to bother with? I only ask cos it's quite pricey but there is no revo dealer anywhere near here.

I thought the VW remap was bluefin :huh:
Should be able to find a mobile dealer that will come round and hook you up.... although it is handy to be relaively close to one to keep an eye on your settings.
-
Damn, so my advantage is down to 4wheel drive & better wheels :wink:
Nice to know theres a alternative to my current fuel bills too :evil:

monstermotorsport.com are doing 10% off Revo at the moment, added to this I think Revo are doing free switches at the moment.
Handy for anyone in the East Mids. :smiley:

Dont upset him :laugh:
Remap is about the best thing you can do with the GTi, and it'll now match most things on the tarmac :wink:

I know for fact you will never get 40 mpg :laugh:... trust me i have tried :grin:
yes thats it for now. Although just thinking if this Golf R lives upto the hype.. and with a nice remap its going to be one seriously hard to beat baadass machine :evil:

No probs pal.. will drop you a text next week! feel free to PM me if it appears I have forgotten..... most probably I will have :grin:

Might have to pay them a visit, on the mk5 i told her the power difference was from the Milltek :laugh: :laugh:
-
Only slight reservation i had was my MKV remapped blew its turbo causing all the oil to be forced into the engine f**king all the seals etc.. Whole engine was f**ked :S
-

The difference is amazing. I drove my business partner from Dorset to Hemel Hempstead today as some monkey just wrote off his A4 230 quattro and he was blown away by the performance.

you guys have made my mind up for me, going from a mk5 to an r32 to a mk6 i think i have forgotten really how the mapped mk5 was by comparison cos that was quick with filter and full turbo back milltek, loved every minute until it got wrote off :undecided:

Neil, it's gonna be interesting to see your numbers, everyone called BS when Revo said my car had 225 stock and 275 mapped but another standard car was dyno'd at 225 last week so the potential seems to be there mate.

No mate, my local dealer doesn't but my car went to Revo for the work as they used my car to develop the map, it was the first one done.

Noticed in Evo's GTi, RS, Seat & megane article that the GTi recorded 229bhp on the rollers. The ford on the other hand seemed to be missing 20 ponies :laugh:
