Remap do or don't???

Just be mindful you MAY need a clutch pretty soon after the map

I'd make sure you have everything covered before you go to get mapped, otherwise you may not get the most out of it. Before my stage 2 map I gave the car a good service, changed coilpacks, VR6 clutch and solid flywheel, new iridium spark plugs, Forge wastegate actuator. That's on top of the usual stuff I already had done (fmic, tip, etc..). Don't forget a tank of v-power as well

Pound for pound, it's the best modification you will ever buy.

Hey mine is a 12 year old 1.8T, I've had almost two year. The first thing I done was get I remapped Stage 1 at Jabbasport (located near. Peterborough) honestly it's the best thing I've ever done to a car. Yes as others have said it may highlight any existing problems but definitely get it serviced before you go. And once it's been done make sure you have it serviced regularly.
Depending where you're located i would recommend Jabba, however R-tech are just as good, if no better.
