Title: Which remap
Post by: GTI-T on 04 April 2006, 22:49

I got mine done at Jabbasport, but most go for the Revo on here.

I got 202 bhp from a standard 150 according to the Jabba print out.

Have not regretted doing it for one single moment. :smiley:

cant quite see from the pic of your golf but it looks like a t reg if so jabba will give you 210 according to them because its a throttle cable (AGU) rather than the newer models which havent got one (ARZ). they quoted me £475

It's a V - 2000 AGU.

That's what I paid.  On the old style website (which was active when I got it done), they quoted bhp figures ranging from 192-211.  This depended on mods already there and/or condition/mileage of the engine etc.

That's the thing, though. Rollers will vary all over the country. You can't really take anybody's figures as gospel.

My car may well be under 200 bhp on somebody elses rollers, but I know what it can do on the road, so I'm not fussed at all about figures. :smiley:

Got mine done about by APR 4weeks ago? by Awesome GTI....i didn't get mine on the rolling road but spoke with the guys and i reckon realistically mine will be knocking out about 195bhp?? My golf is an older mark4 with milltek cat-back system and Bailey valve, everything else in the engine is standard. Like u guys say, guess it depends on the systems u r using to measure the power but whatever the figs are I'm well pleased with the outcome and def recommend it. Only had few foot to the floor 'head to heads' so far....easily pulled away from what i assume was a standard 150bhp golf 1.8T, but the best moment so far is out pacing a civic type R 0-60mph....that guy was really trying and was well pissed when he saw my performance!! very satisfying!!   :cool:
