I'm speaking with him at the moment about a remap from him mate, I live just down the road from the Big City.

He's been talking about it for 18 months :grin:
-
If Doc can provide a facility like Bluefin for the same cost so that may enable me to remove and re-install tne re-map at will, then I am possibly interested.
I had to wait for after my first service (which was at the end of March) and change of Insurance Company before I would attempt anything.
He certainly does, your map is retained and can be loaded back on whenever you like.

Well, that's good to hear. He's never made this clear to me. So, the original VW map will be saved which is a good thing.

Thanks Steve matey I'm very flattered :embarassed:
Jim's lucky as he's (more than lightly) not got the anti-tuning protection you have so he can have a "map by post" using our customer remapping interface, this interface gives you the choice of two maps to load to your car along with the original map from your own car that you can change at the touch of a button.
The unit also allows you to read OBDII fault codes from any OBDII compliant vehicle and the best part is that as long as you put your car back to standard when you part ways with your car you can re-use the interface on your next car (as long as it's on the interfaces list of vehicles it's compatable with) or you can resell it.
The retail prices are £275 for a remap or £375 for a custom remapping session plus £200 for the user interface.
Given the kind nature of Steves post I'll sell these units here at £375 including a remap or £425 including upto half a day on our rolling road for a custom remapping session.
Please note that vehicles with anti-tuning protection cannot use the interface, the cost for an anti-tuning remap is £475 but I'll do those at £325.
Any questions :wink:

please asker... dont get a remap!!!
we will never hear the end of how great it is and how anyone that doesnt have one is a *****. :laugh:

So Doc, are you going to grace us with your presence in London?
Would be nice to abuse you in person.
Do come to London and do me a custom number if this is possible. :smiley:
-
I'm aiming for late next week - 5th-6th of August as I've possibly got a meeting on the Friday AM so I'd stay Friday / Saturday.
-
Great. I am your man. August 6th would be perfect. If you wish you may use my work car park which is covered in case of rain. It's in Kings Cross, London WC1. For the 5th August, I'll have to sort things at work which could be PITA.
-
How nice :wink:
Why not make it a MK6 meetup?
More details on the handheld unit:
Carbon Chiptuning sells a customer held tuning unit called a Powergate Personal OBD programmer (think blufin), this unit has the ability to store 3 maps, first being the original map from your car, second being mod map 1 (i.e. Power map), third being mod map 2 (i.e. Winter map).
This unit also has the ability to read basic "P" code faults from most OBD equipped vehicles.
The units are sold at cost of £200 delivered in mainland UK and map packs for the unit start at £150 for a normally aspirated vehicle.
If we do a group buy I can get the prices down for the unit :wink:
1 x Powergate II S 196,00
5 x Powergate II S 175,00
10 x Powergate II S 160,00
25 x Powergate II S 150,00
50 x Powergate II S 140,00
100 x Powergate II S 125,00
A great feature with this unit is that if you sell your vehicle and have put the stock map back in to your vehicle then the unit can be used to time and time again on your subsequent vehicles so long as you revert them back to stock.
Please understand THIS UNIT WILL ONLY WORK ON ONE VEHICLE AT A TIME and has to be put back to stock to do another vehicle.
Here is the vehicle list that the unit will work on: http://www.alientech.to/pdf/web/Pwglist.pdf
Here is a little more information on the box: http://www.alientech-to.it/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=53&Itemid=121&lang=en
They arrive in printed blue or plain black depending on which way the wind blows :rolleyes:

August can't come soon enough! :wink:
-
Just to explain the difference between the two mapping options.
Option one CARBON remap:
Your remap is written from scratch using the information we download from your ECU, this remap is custom written for your specific vehicle using our experience and best judgment to give you an OEM feeling, linear remap that we can tune to your driving style.
Option two full CARBON custom remap:
For this remap you would need to come to our facility to have your car tuned further again on our rolling road and can, if required include modifications such as exhausts, air filters etc.
Thanks
Craig

Debatable
Standard: Yes the MPS is quicker but not by the margin you would expect. The GTI fights very well.
Both cars @ circa 260hp: The GTI is much quicker when given equal grunt to the MPS
Both cars mapped: The MPS struggles with the power much more than the GTI initially but does stronger at higher speeds
I'm not saying this to start an argument, just stating what I've experienced.

Even if that were true, which according to fastlaps.com it isn't. In many cases the Mazda is less than 0.2 second a lap quicker and on some tracks the STANDARD GTI is quicker that the MPS. Now imagine the lap times with a mapped GTI :evil:
If it were all about speed we'd all be driving be poorly built torque steering monsters or chav Imprezzas....

Actually according the comparison tool on the Fastest Laps site the MPS comes out on top with the verdict being that the "MPS is noticeably faster".
http://www.fastestlaps.com/comparisons/mazda_3_mps_mk_ii-vs-vw_golf_gti_mk_vi.html (http://www.fastestlaps.com/comparisons/mazda_3_mps_mk_ii-vs-vw_golf_gti_mk_vi.html)
The verdict is based upon the websites own rating system which awards points based on track performance which, although the MPS does prove quicker on almost all the tracks, sometimes only manages a few tenths of a second faster than the 50hp down GTI. But, because the MPS secures the faster time, it is simply recorded as a "win" for that track. All these "wins" count up and give the MPS an exaggerated performance rating. Stock for stock the MPS is quicker, but not by much. Give both cars equal power however and then see what's quicker. Even if both cars were mapped I reckon the GTI would be quicker around more tracks.
But anyway, we have hijacked this thread and I do apologise. I will now cease my digressions. :grin:
EDIT, just out of interest I have compared the MPS to a Scirocco R. The Scirocco R represents quite well IMO a mapped GTI as both cars are obviously VAG, both have the option of DSG (although I don't know if the cars tested use such facilities), both use XDS (IIRC), the same FWD chassis (Scirocco being based on a Golf IIRC) and both chuck out around 260hp.
Using these new parameters the Scirocco R is rated "noticeably quicker" than the MPS but again the more accurate picture is shown by the differences between the lap times. Consistently, the Scirocco R is 2-3 seconds faster on each track. Whereas the MPS could sometimes only manage a few tenths quicker than the standard GTI, a FWD VW with similar power to the MPS can manage a few seconds quicker than the Mazda.
Here's the link http://www.fastestlaps.com/comparisons/mazda_3_mps_mk_ii-vs-vw_scirocco_r.html (http://www.fastestlaps.com/comparisons/mazda_3_mps_mk_ii-vs-vw_scirocco_r.html)
Now I'm finished hijacking :grin:

If you can have it then the Alientech box is a handy piece of kit
I have it for my car and its very quick and reliable for swapping maps around.
Best bit is it stores your original file so you can return the car to stock at any time :smiley:
-
Can't wait for August 6th for Craig to titivate and titillate innocent Wolfgang! :grin:

We just need a trime and place for the meet now , as Ive got to book time off work in advance cheers Craig ? :wink:

May i ask how option 1 works for those meeting in london for an example. Im curious how this is done. :smiley:
Do they have to supply you with their map first and when you have the meet you then supply the new one?
Have you any sample option 1 rolling road printouts for a mk6 GTI to show as an example of the curves that you expect compared to stock of a map spec you would recomend to use please?
Thanks.
-
The original map is downloaded from the ECU on the day, they have the kit and software on their van to make the necessary changes :smiley:
Whole process takes a couple of hours depending on the vehicle
Modified file is uploaded to the ECU and you drive off into the sunset with a big huge grin on your face :evil:
-
Arr thanks makes sense. :cool:

We just need a trime and place for the meet now , as Ive got to book time off work in advance cheers Craig ? :wink:
Saturday 6th August seems an auspicious date, if Craig also agrees. Venue could be my Hospital Car Park in Kings Cross, which will be empty on Saturday and therefore all ours.
So far the list is:
(1) Steve30
(2) Jimmymature
(3) am1w
Any more interested parties (?) please post here ASAP as this would make it worth Craig's long trip down to the Big Smoke.

Great work there chaps!!
Although seeing as I now own both you could have just asked me :laugh:
The GTI handles its power much than the MPS as std. The MPS however is designed to take the 260bhp and does therefore cope quite well with the extra power. The GTI is still much nicer to drive than the MPS... but the bang for your buck in the MPS just seems to add to the fun factor.
Quite a few MPS's out there running over the 320bhp with a few mods... so even in a remapped GTI you have been warned. Consumption is a beeatch but the xenons (std) and Bose stereo make up for it.
the mps sounds :cool: where as the GTI continues to sound like a Diesel :lipsrsealed:

Zoom, Zoom, there goes the Mazda from Asda. :laugh:

I am definitely up for this but I'm seeing a man about a dog. This is probably the only time I can actually say this in all honesty. We're off to Wales to look at some mutts and I've managed to journey plan the Evo triangle in as well.
If the date changes from 06/08, count me in.

I won't need to get mine mapped on that day as mine will be done before then, depending on where you meet up ill pop along for a mini MK6 meet.
Who's bringing the lap dancers and McDonalds :laugh:

Steve: Doc should make this a sticky. It will be such fun. We can go out afterwards and have a good nosh.
Come on Mk6ers, Rers. The man is coming all the way to tune us up.
I'll try and be a good Host with the most!!!! :grin:

Your all mad :grin:

Mad? No, never. Just very sensitive in disposition.
@Doc: Sent you an SMS with directions.

I knew Jim would chicken out. Wish Doc had not sent his kit before the meet.
Jim: It's on a Saturday. It's a straight run down the Marylebone Road, not much traffic, there's no Congestion Charge, you have a Sat Nav, be brave and meet me and you'll appreciate it no end. I'll even test your hearing for free and fit you the hearing aid you need so badly.
On the other hand, Jim might stick out like a sore -thumb having been re-mapped in advance. And, I know he does not want to polish my Breitling.
-
I was going to meet Jimmy on the outskirts by Slough due to traffic etc
It would be rude not to go for scoffings with the boys me thinks?
I'm happy to go in on Saturday or not - you guys decide :smiley:

Doc: Slough (Slug :sick:) is just down the road from me as I live in West London. There is hardly any traffic on a Saturday as most Londoners are recovering from a tough week. It takes me 20 mins (max) to get from Chiswick to King's X. Jim can bomb down into King's X with ease. I'll even pay for his petrol!
I am game for Saturday 6th August and so is Steve. Jim's loss if he chicken's out.

What about Windsor? I know a very nice jewelers there that has a very nice Rolex boutique and they sell some other very nice watches?
Jim

My bijou Hospital Covered Car Park on Saturday 6th August is very suitable, IMO. Totally empty and I'll arrange toilet facilities. We'll bond, then we'll have a meal and a natter. Darren fitted my RNS and another one there. The long bar in St Pancras is worth a visit.
Remember, I cannot drive long distances due to a serious shoulder issue.

Nightmare place Windsor. Anyway, we are getting re-mapped not shopping for darling watches.
Don't you want to listen to my hi-fi?

I'm sure I'll make everyone happy, Jimmy first though :grin:

I want to go first :grin:

Jimmy box will land in the morning then it's only an hour or so process really :wink:
Where as yours will be more like three hours :shocked:

I'll be with Steve. He can have his done first, no problem. I am a patient so-and-so. :grin:

So is it only myself and Asker meeting up with Doc ? :undecided:

That's the plan mate :wink:
You'll both be done in the 3 hours (ish) :wink:

Why do you think I was up there? :tongue:
Don't forget mine is the old PD engine with the DPF still in place
You guys with the Common Rail engine will have a little more power. Doc's GTD is running 200bhp :evil:
-
could have done this at mine :kiss:
could have road tested them on the way home then :grin:
-
Martin may join us for a chat and a bite. He is not ready for a re-map yet. So he says.
Can't wait for the 6th August. :smiley:
-
Anyone can join us - I was only doing Steve's and it's great that we have Askers to do also - then it's Nice lunch and away we go :wink:
Rhyso requested that power figure but could of ha more, mines been turned down from 210 bhp at the moment to increase fuel economy :wink:
-
Where are all you closet Mk6 GTI/GTD Londoners? Come and meet The Doc and put lead in your pencils FFS. :grin:

It will be done first thing :wink:
So that Jim come;s to the cross :grin:
-
I am confused.
So Jim is working until 4pm so that he can pay for his re-map. :evil:
Would it be possible for Stevie baby and moi to have Doc earlier for lunch and fiddles? :grin:
Herr Doktor Carbon to decide.
We'll take good care of you Doc, promise.

Internal please mate, i reckon gunmetal as i dont want it to stick out too much through the tinted rear window :evil:
Looking forward to the map, I might even leave work early ;o)

Hi mate,
I take it you'll not be needing that sticker as your car is anti-tune? :sad:
-
Hi mate,
I take it you'll not be needing that sticker as your car is anti-tune? :sad:
Seems that way mate, I'm still hoping that Nick hears back from Alientech and it's another reason for the error, can you remind him to try and find out first thing Monday please? I'm going to speak to Superchips too as they have a money back policy if the ECU is protected.
Cheers,
Jim
-
Yes mate, no problem - you can only try :sad:
As with most anti-tune ECU's you dont normally get the bad news until you try to upload the modded file :sad:
On the later anti-tune fitted around mid-2010 like in my car you cant get any information at all via the OBD from the start.

OOOOO what a ball ache :sad:
Damn fricking anti-tune piece of sh!te :angry: :angry:

Tell me about it, i've been p1ssing about for ages finding reasons not to get a map, the Doc helped me out and gave loads of advice then only to be dashed by anti-tune.
I'm now really annoyed :evil:
Jim

Best meet up with them next Saturday then :wink:
-
Best meet up with them next Saturday then :wink:
I don't want a removal of the ECU remap whilst it's still in warranty. I'm going to try Superchips and Revo and if they dont work then I might throw my toys out and get a new car :cry:

In terms what though Doc the car or taken out the ECU ? :undecided:

Best meet up with them next Saturday then :wink:
I don't want a removal of the ECU remap whilst it's still in warranty. I'm going to try Superchips and Revo and if they dont work then I might throw my toys out and get a new car :cry:

Jim your waisting your time with Bluefin if its locked off, the only way is ECU out !! I tried superchips already and no good mate :rolleyes:

Thanks Steve, not that I know anything but I've never read anything anywhere that suggests an early 09 car has a locked ECU. I'm hoping that the issue is with the AlienTech module. CarbonTech are not 100% it's locked and are going to update me tomorrow.
I could be wasting my time but I want to know for sure. An R could be on the cards quicker than I'd first thought.....

Maybe Doc can confirm this but I don't think any GTI has had the ECU locked, AFAIK it was only the diesels.
Mine is BW7 2010 and it was fine and when I talked to Superchips at that time they had never encountered a GTI with an encrypted ECU.

Yeah, I'm hoping that Doc can still sort me out ;o)
Doc, don't forget to check for me tomorrow please mate?
Cheers,

I'll be checking first thing :wink:

If your not happy to have your car remapped for any reason then I'd rather not do it that's all, Jimmy clearly wants to be able to put his car back to standard at his leisure so that's all I'd sell him :wink:

Jimmy, sorry I meant to ask has your car been into the dealers for a service or any software updates?
Seems sneaky VW are also retro installing anti tuning protection on earlier cars with MED17 / EDC17.....

Hi mate, the car has been serviced but no mention of any software updates.
Have you heard anything yet?

PM sent, I'm working with alientech to try and resolve this :wink:
Fingers very crossed :smiley:

Doc do you know what increase in torque and BHP a remap would have on a 1.4 TSi 160 matey???
I'm only half an hour from you so may be interested :grin:
