Post by: prowler on 16 January 2010, 19:45

hi i got my mk4 1.8t 2 weeks ago an its meant to of been mapped but not sure...on the print out
it says its 220bhp/260ibft. at the flywheel. but it just doesnt feel that quick. dont get me wrong it pulls really well in 1st an 2nd but jus dont pool very well through 3rd 4th. an idears would be great..thanks.

Hello,

220bhp @ fly on stock wheels works outat around 190bhp @ wheels.  If it dont feel fast it could be running a fault, MAF boost leak, lean mix due to blocked fuel filter ect... Who remapped it?

 company called red dot in enfeild. i think it may hve  boost leak as it wisles really loader than it should i think. some one said it could of been the impellers in the turbo rubbing on the caseing.but its jus head a brnd new k04-001 turbo so it shoulnt be that :undecided:

Depends what you have drove before, these engines dont seem that 'revvy'. I got AGU remapped by R-Tech and very happy with result now i have it to full power, but after driving MR2 Turbo, this golf will never feel like that!

maybe the map was setup for the k03 and not a k04-001

yep deffo will need the map changed as the k04-001 is a bigger turbo than the k03s so will flow more air so fueling etc etc need to be altered.
