Mk5 GTI remap??

[Sy7]

cheers mate, did the carbon air intake you got on yours make much difference to the power?

[AlanD]

Its too hard to tell to be honest, not a great deal, the problem is the remap is sucha a clear difference in power with just one change that its harder to notice the smaller ones, no doubt they all add up .  Looks and sounds nice though, also helps the car to breath better with the larger turbo downpipe and Milltek cat (MUCH less restrictive and benefits the CAI)

[Sy7]

you have done a bit of work then lol. so what power is your engine now then, and how much, if you dont mind me asking

[AlanD]

Well, she ran 240bhp and 265lbp/ft at the R-Tech RR. TBH though It feels a bit more than that and I was expecting a bit more, at a stab in the dark Id say 250-260bhp. It feels mighty quick and pulls hard and I am realllllly happy with it.

The R-Tech remap gave a power curve as smooth as a babys arse. I cant find the print out but will dig it up when at home later this evening.

[Sy7]

are you planning anything else to do to the engine?

[AlanD]

Nope, shes got more than enough poke. I'm a strong believer that there is only so much power you can throw through the front wheels of a car and I think I'm almost there. The MK5 chassis is good, but I cant get my head around people that run 300+ on standard stuff without the need to then add MORE money on suspension and anti-roll bar and bigger brakes, it can easily turn into A LOT of money. My engine will remain how it is now as I think its prefect for me

Next is new wheels and tyres which requires lots more saving lol

You seriously need to take my car for a spin Alan

300+ bhp is easily containable. I've just taken my neighbour and a mate out for the first time in mine and they simply were staggered at how fast it accellerates, brakes, turns etc and how easily it did it.

Yes, yes, I know I've spent a fair bit on it, but like you say, a tuned car needs balance between power, handling and braking modifications.
