Revo remap report (p.3): the Frog has done it!

Ok sensible question i think,does it increase your emissions and so should you pay a higer tax band ?,like i`ve said before there is no such thing as a free lunch,so extra power must have a negative effect on econmy ,engine life ?

[Gazdebaz]

The road tax band is calculated against the offical emissions quoted from the manufacturer. So re-mapping does not affect how much you pay.

Nope

based on what your car left the factory  

and depending on how you drive it

Treat your engine with respect and it will last just as long as the manufacturer intended.  Make sure oil changes are regular (10K and under) and done with the new Longlife oil

As an example there are several MK4 owners who have run their 1.8T's for over 100K remapped miles and still on the original turbo etc

Cheers,it just popped into my head but i suppose it makes sense to set the tax band on leaving the factory,the only other way would be to test it during a mot i suppose.

That's the key point. I enjoy knowing that I have lots of power available, but I actually don't really use it that often. I'm a 40mpg man

Frightened of that monster under the bed ?

[FroGTI]

Hehe, no I'm just a tight git who doesn't like paying for petrol

[FroGTI]

Incidentally, I forgot to mention in my report that they also remapped my wheels for me, look

And fitted a washing line in the bonnet,don`t think it will catch on
