how does a remapped Gti fair against standard edition30?

[Saint Steve]

Yeah why not, will be fun, i dont mind loosing properly!

Game on!

Obviously it depends, as Phil says, on the degree of tuning and modding, but I'd venture to say that an Ed30 is easily as fast as a Stage1 GTI.

With Joe's degree of mods he's now doing, we'll never see a level playing field on that score.

The moral of the story is, if you cant control the traction, and cant afford to mod to cope, then dont bother 

Which is exactly why I have retained the older Superchips Edition 30 DSG remap on my Golf .... their newer map is far quicker but it is also far more difficult to deploy that extra power through the rev range ....

The older map is very good at deploying the extra grunt as until about 4K rpm it is only say 20bhp up on standard .... thereafter it goes up to nearly 300bhp but you can use the power far more easily than the more powerful map. 

When the summer comes though I am sure I will try the newer map again

In other words, the bottom line is driveability.

The more power you seek in your GTI/Ed30, the more ££££ you will need to spend on further mods and more risk of erosion of reliability etc. (IMO).

Couldnt have put it better. Its chasing the never ending Numbers, to the point of driveability goes out the window, and Reliability as robin has said

Just following on from the power/driveability theme, I've not had my standard GTi remapped yet. I'm hoping that a Revo/APR stage one remap will be more focused on smoothing out the power and giving a bit more torque. Not really interested in getting big numbers, would rather get driveability and a little more power.

On that basis, any tips on who I should be looking at to get it done in the northwest?

Cheers

Revo in my opinion, with the select switch imo.

[davoaj]

Nice one Phil, that was what I was thinking. I know ADS in Preston do Revo so am thinking of getting it done there.

As it's the only car in the household, I don't want it to be too savage when the Mrs is driving. Hard enough to get the £500 spend past her without turning the car she loves in to an animal that she can't stop wheel spinning!
