Does anyone know how much it would cost to see the standard output see just over 200bhp? I tried to remap my car last year but they couldn't do it as it had already been done and they couldn't correct data, so a new ecu may be needed too.... Is there anything else I need to consider? The car is well maintained, good turbo and recent cam belt and water pump and recent cam chain and tensioner
-
Is that the 180bhp standard? If so speak with r-tech. He should be able to map it! His well know in this business. Most vag turners go to him as he knows what he is doing.
Google r-tech they in lecister

aum is 150bhp :whistle:

Yeah it's the 150 and it's been mapped to 180 I imagine, but I want to clear 200, I looked on their site but can't get a price guide

K03s with supporting mods such as better exhaust better filter and fmic or wellycooler if you want to go another step further a wmi kit. Will that work fine with his rods peeps? Also as barry has said, call them
-
Your best bet is to contact R-tech directly to get a price, if the ECU has been locked out by a previous tuner then they will be able to get around it but may charge more for the time it takes.
A healthy AUM should see 200bhp with a good remap, decent panel filter and a Forge d/v - nothing else required.
Mine made 205bhp and 245lb/ft with just the above:

Thanks for all your help guys, I will prob give them a call in the week, I like dons idea, I think 205/210 is good mark with standard car as in won't go through clutches, gearboxes, mounts etc, just want it safe but with a bit more woooosh
-
Your clutch will go a lot quicker after map mate...then its a good excuse to get a g60 flywheel and vr6 clutch kit :grin:
My standard clutch lasted about year and a half after a map on my AGU. :wink:

It really depends how you drive it, if you start doing full throttle launches everywhere then it'll wear faster but driven normally it should last just as long.
-
Doubt it will last just as long as without a map.. as you have more strain on it regardless. Course constant launches is just asking for it :grin: does get hard to resist launching it tho after a map :evil:
But you can make it last.. got mine to last a year and half which i thought was good.. and then the flywheel gave in.

Mine was about a month lol
-
Dont panic about your clutch, had mine done 2 and half years ago and still on original clutch and fly wheel.
Dont get me wrong though...had some real fun in it but its still the family/work car.

Mine was about a month lol
mine was when i pulled onto the motorway :grin:

Pop along to Bill@Badger5, He is every bit as good as R-tech.
He has mapped my LCR and my mates AUM bora, The Bora made 207bhp.

I might ask him actually, sorry I'm new to this forum, how do I get hold of him?
Thanks

Just dug out my receipt from R TECH and a stage 1.5 custom remap with diagnostics and health check cost £290 and that was dated september 2012 (202.5bhp)
-
My Aum with 1st map r-tech ever put on was iirc 212bhp all i had fitted at the time was a forge 007p :wink: then added a decent filter and miltek 3" downpipe+sports cat and full system to arrive at this :
