cheers for the reply mate, ive read somewhere reps tend to be heavy. going from my monty2s due to corrosion, will i notice any performance difference in a remapped 1.8T (210bhp)?

no difference mate.. the reps are heavier but they look the same and unless your tracking it whats the problem with weight ??
