can the mk3 1.9 tdi 95hp be remaped if so what sort of hp gain would it reach thinking about one as a daily

Don't believe it can be remapped from what I have read.

Oh I thought these could or is it just the 110bhp (and upwards) derv engines that can?   :undecided:

I think they can, the ECU has a map on the chip, so a different chip can be fitted, it cant be flashed though as far as i know, so its a solder in jobby.

I believe the problem is that the chip is soldered, I was only going past threads.

Yes they can but the chip has to be de-soldered then a new one flashed and refitted.

Nothing power wise can be done through the ECU port.

one small problem with the logic you have just said nearly all tdis that i know of that are in the mk3s all run the same ecu which controsl a mechanical pump which has an electronic head put o and the ecu that they use is not one that is chippable unless you solder an eprom in then get that flash mapped, only problem with this is it has minimal mapping possiblities and no one i can find will do it in the uk and trust me iv looked the only place is america, i know all this as im doing my uni project on it and thats why iv gone for a hybrid mechanical tdi conversion with a 12mm head in allowing over 250 horse

We can chip tune the mk3 TDI ecus, power gains will be around 25bhp30lbft. The ECU will need a new set of chips for the software to be loaded on to.
The price for the chips and remap software will be £200 fitted.
