Awaits replys. It will be alot quicker think the remap will give you 195bhp on your engine.

I had my AGU remapped by R~Tech yesterday and i couldnt be happier with the car.

Not only does the additional power and torque make a huge difference to the outright performance but the power delivery is also much smoother, has a much crisper throttle response and the car even feels better off boost.

The remap is available for only £150 at the moment. Do it!

Is there any difference between the MK4 & MK5 mapped?

Yeah lol

They have diffrent engines to start with. Mine is a 2.0T running 200bhp as standard and is now putting out about 250bhp give or take and the MK4 is a 1.8T running 150bhp standard and puts out about 200bhp give or take after a remap.

Thats the long and short of it.

Very nice. :smiley:

So as standard is the MK5 about the same as a mapped 1.8t or is this where torque comes into it?
