mk4 anni thinking about remaping should i get an exhaust before or would it not matter??
Thankssss
-
depends how far you want to push the car
If you're looking for max power then you'll need a full turbo back system which will include a sports cat. The key is replacing the standard cat to allow the gases to escape quicker and keep temperatures down
-
hmm alright cheers mate!
-
03 plate 98k on the clock too late for a re map??
-
o and what if i get the remap before the other mods would that matter?? im going to get a fmic do you think it would make a dif if i did it after the remap?
-
03 reg is too late to be an Anni! Not too late for a remap, mapped mine at 120000 and it loves it!
-
ooo mines 52 :grin: ooo fewwww where did you get yours done ?? was a stage 1 remap?
-
only a person who's never driven a mapped 1.8t could ask "is it worth it?" :grin:
-
so its worth it then :grin:
-
a one off payment, for a lifetime of fun = deffo worth it :grin:
-
well worth it ...i got a 45 bhp gain for £150....bargain :cool:
-
I have never looked back since having my anni remapped it's a defo must it was the thing that made me keep mine as I thought it was slow before having it done get it to r tech asap well worth the cash
-

Exactly :afro: and stage 2 even better :wink: (i imagine :lipsrsealed:)
-
Definitely worth it and mine's not even 100% yet due to a vac/boost leak somewhere in the PCV pipes!

Think R-Tech is £250. If you want them to come to you its an extra £40
-
Take a trip to R-Tech mate, best money you will spend and real good service, diag check etc then remap with RR print out
-
Will let ya know on tuesday as i have 3 booked in !! cant wait to see the end result of my aum as never driven a mapped one before , even the 180 leons seems quick compared to the 150 golf so even more will be a result :)
-
hmm ok ive just been paid :cool: il have to see where the nerest one is for me as i live in surrey kind of lol
-
just get R-tech to come to you fella, best value for money imo and great customer service!

I had mine done by R-Tech (same engine as yours but non Anni) and the difference was very noticable especially with the torque. In the mid range from 2k-4k rpm it went like a rocket. It should feel quicker than the 150bhp but you have take into account the 6 speed box as the ratios are different. Worth checking the pancake pipe (between the turbo and intercooler) as they can be the cause of boost leak. I had this on mine on the rolling road and it was 185bhp with the map! Once that was fixed it was probably knocking 200bhp and that was with no other mods :wink:
-
ooooo im definitly getting it done by them then , yh ive got a massive leak il check that tomo! thanks alot mate!

No probs. Nick is very good and knows his stuff. He will find your missing horses under your bonnet and give you new ones from the map!! :grin:

Of course, not declaring changes like this to insurers is asking for trouble....

Asking this in the mk4 section is like asking if a membership with the AA is worth it in the mk2 section :laugh:

I honestly dont think there is another car you can buy that should be remapped from day of purchase like the mk4 GTI! VW were mad to not do it as standard or offer a warranty version, they would have made a killing!

Thats true although it must of had an effect because look what they did to the mk5 more power as standard so maybe they did learn from the mk4 :undecided:

Well they didnt learn from the mk5 as the mk6 got naff all!

That and all the other manufacturers were leaving them for dust in terms of power
Well they didnt learn from the mk5 as the mk6 got naff all!
More of a case if it wasn't broke why fix it though I was surprised it didn't get the ED30 engine as standard :undecided: but then the new engine is greener and can run on 95 RON as standard :nerd:

mmmm valid point maybe they didn't feel the need :sad: its a good job that there are some good tuning companys willing/offering re-maps :smiley:

Yeah it seems to be getting good power from mods as well, also it would put it too close to the Golf R which has the ED30 engine (well S3 engine but not much difference)

Tuning companies would hardly exist if the manufacturers maxed out the engines from the factory. You then also got reliability and cost to consider in terms of warranty
