Post by: copland_71 on 09 February 2008, 19:28: Hi does anyoneknow what kind of power increase I'd get from a first stage remap on my GT TDI 150? I've been recomended using custom-code checked out the site and the prices seem fair so think I'll use them what do you guys think?

Deffo go for Custom Code! got 30% off at the mo so a stage one will set you back Ã‚£312 :afro:

had it done about a month ago on my 130 and the difference is unbelievable; pulls all through the rev range and MPG is unaffected, unless i floor it lol

Post by: RTechUK on 27 February 2008, 19:19: Hi!

200+BHP is poss and has been done but like Rhyso said there might loads of back soot you will have to live with. With the TDI pd itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s not all about the BHP, the PDs selling point is the huge amount of torque it can offer.

A 200+bhp remap can compromise, torque and put lots of stress on the turbo and clutch., once rolling at speed it will be a beast to drive. Ok for track days and sprints etc..

A remap to 180 / 184bhp will give the best of both worlds max bhp and torque to match while allowing the engine to be at its most efficient.

A well balanced remap will allow the fuel to be burnt off and the correct ratio with the turbo boost, so no plumes of black smoke.
