My only concern with a std GTI would be that it struggles putting the power down in anything less than nice dry and warm roads, whether that just the Bridgestones but am sure the PP is much better due to the differential. I think a remap would be great and guess like others have said, you'd get the benefit of the extra power in the mid range. That said, I had a good 45 min blast the other morning round the peaks and Mk7.5 is deceptively quick on the A and B roads.

I seriously think a std GTI with around 300bhp wouldn't get off the mark much quicker due to traction issues.

Mine's a PP and I doubt it aids much on take off, tyres are most likely the best part to concentrate on. I don't think how much faster it gets off the mark is the bit to focus on though is it? I don't even bother much anymore with that, it's more about what the car will do once on the move where I'm guessing a remap pays. Might be something I'd consider once the warranty is out but having said that I've not really found the car lacking go especially with a pedalbox fitted.

Postponed due to warranty work had a few niggles to sort out. But all good now so will rebook.

Even as standard in the wet you cant use 1st or 2nd. The potenzas i had before on my st and they are shocking. Will be getting a better tyre soon. The remap is more 'in gear' and mid range punch rather than 0-60 times. Should make a and b road blasts even better.

You won't be disappointed I've had the revo remap over a year, still puts a smile on my face and surprises some !
