Title: Decat and dct
Post by: jockgti on 09 November 2011, 22:17
how much would it be roughly to map out a dct light(SAI Removal) and the error for running a decat?

LOL

They cannot do it more like... :undecided:  So if i took my car there for a remap and had a decat fitted they would refuse to remap my car and refure to take my money because its illegal?.... :grin:

We charge £40 per DCT fault to mapped out,  so £40 for the 2nd O2 sensors to be mapped out, threshold to run decat or to run without the sensor full stop, then £40 for the SAI codes and to change the cold start fuel offsets.

 Or you could go to a R-Tech spec1 custom at £250 which will remove the code during the custom mapping session time, plus you will drive home with a huge grin.. or your money back... :wink:

If your map is not an APR or Revo then we can easy add the patches to any map out there not matter who tuned it.

I think they are quite fond of the chocolate ones  :wink:

I'm not sure, I don't think you can but I haven't ever looked for it, it's normally red bull for R-Tech length journeys lol.

is it worth me getting an upgraded smic for a spec1? like one of those turborevs ones
Title: Re: Decat and dct
Post by: Yohan on 28 November 2011, 16:06
Not for Spec 1.

One of the best intercoolers for the Mk4 is the THS one, believe somebody is selling one on here just now.

Not needed for Stage 1 though and especially at this time of year.

Somebody doesn't want me to get this remap lol last time I got the burst water pipe and that's all fixed,just fitted catch can today and was walking round picking up all the bits and tools and noticed a big screw in the sidewall of the rear n/s tyre so the only place open was kwikfit so hopefully nothing else will get in the way
Title: Re: Decat and dct
Post by: jockgti on 04 December 2011, 08:42
and it has  :sad: after the leaky pipe,the tyre its now the bank balance,the fuel cost alone would be over 100 quid easy,so this is on hold for the time being maybe after the new year i'll look into it again
