Im down in Sevenoaks, How did you find the change after you remapped your 1.8T? Noticeable difference? So long as I can get it up to or quicker than my old 328is i'll be happy :) from the looks of remapping the ecu i should be quicker but I can but hope! May do exhaust - nice link there, that'll give me something to do over the weekend! ;)

A hell of a lot of difference!

I was in Sevenoaks yesterday, I'm from Junction 4 of the M20!

Think it will be close, the bhp will be roughly the same but the BMW has more weight.

The BM will handle better unless you buy an uprated rear ARB and lower the suspension.

Either way it will be so close you'd probably not know.

Oh and my last comment was on experience as my friend has a 328i and I have driven both but mine is an AUM with R-Tech's spec 1 map which should be about 210 bhp and my car is faster but not by much.

Ah thats good to know! Just didnt wanna go a lot slower than my 328 - hopefully the golf will handle better than my 328 as the guy who had the bm before me messed with the suspension and upgraded the bushes which totally messed with the cars handling and made it handle like a shopping cart from tescos! Will probably lower the golf to give it that little bit more grip. Does the 1.8T come with 16's as standard? and what size can you comfortably sit on there without having to mess with spacers or anything?

Most people go for 18's on here mate if you want bigger wheels.  They will go on all day long with no modifications if you get the right offset ect.  And as for the map i have had both revo map and R-tech map on my car and i can honestly say the R-tech one is a lot lot better. 

Even if they were both the same price i would go for the R-tech map without a second thought.

I only live in Chielshurst so not far from you!

Well my sister owns a 318is and driving hers it handled like a dream, as i say mine was allover the place from the mods the guy did before so hopefully the golf cant be that much worse :P

As soon as I get it (hopefully tomorrow) i'll post some pics! Thanks in advance for all the info though cant wait to get my hands on the beauty now and get her remapped up :D
