Title: fao R-tech/CarbonChip ....what bhp/torque and what map will be best?
Post by: jnufcuk on 12 March 2012, 18:22: Got mk4 1.8T and looking to get it remapped soonish :smiley:

Was looking at stage1 but also seen custom?

Mods so far are:

007p
new hoses
pipercross panel filter/ smooth airbox
sports cat
3"dp

before remap looking at getting:

new tip (heard this can make a difference?)
new cat back (hidden)

I currently run it on normal unleaded cant afford v power :grin:

Any ideas what bhp/torque i would see?
Would a custom map be better suited?

Thanks any help appreciated :cool:

£3ish more a for a full tank, you shuold go futher and should go faster and it should be kinder to your engine. Do it.

Post by: DMcK on 13 March 2012, 01:00: Yeah on a full tank it is not as much as you think. I worked it out from a place near me. http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=224253.0

Give your car a couple of tanks to get used to it and then I'd say yes you will. Mostly in the mileage I'd say, but it will be a tad more pokey...Or is that just me with a DERV?

Post by: lukeyyyyyyy21 on 18 March 2012, 20:34: if your car is going to be maped to tell the ecu it can use more power and increase ignition timming with 99 octane fuel you will have to run on it 99 or atleast 97 bp ultimate if you have too. Run it on 95 if you want to but you will be losing hp/torque, won't run as smooth or as responsive and will also do less mpg.
