Just playing devils advocate a bit are you chaps not worried about invalidating your warranty should something happen to your engine?

Wouldn't be worried about the mapping causing issues.. its in good hands with revo. Same as any engine tuning though, the most it will do is highlight any underlying existing faults.

How much do you think a re-map could add to an insurance quote?

It really varies mate, you have to ring around.

Had a call today to say that the car is going on the dyno Friday.

Thats impressive. Look at the extra torques your getting, over a 1/3 more from 2500 revs through to 5000.

Why is the stock BHP hitting almost 250 ?

And how much does this cost ?


GTI mk6, 3dr Manual (Yes Manual! If I wanted a Taxi I'd hail one, not spend £1500 on one), Candy White, Full Leather, Xenons, ACC, 18", RCD510 + Dynaudio, DAB Radio, Winter Pack, Luxury Pack, Fiscon Bluetooth Plus, Golf R LED's.

So that about 275BHP?? Is yours a manual or a DSG? and does it make a big difference to getting it remapped?

stock the car did 235 BHP, all turbo VAG vehicles will do over quoted numbers on a chassis dynos..... the difference is represented either way!

the cost of the software is the same as all our other 2.0T software :)

the car we dyno'd was manual but we have software for both DSG and manual cars! :) peak power will be the same as you can see the car makes peak power in both cases before the DSG shift point
