Kev i thought you`d turned over a new leaf its been ages since you fell out with someone :laugh:

Still the same old dickheads popping up though mate, so I'll always keep em right.  :wink: :grin:
I don't think I've ever fallen out with you before or particularly disagreed with you, nor have I ever used vulgar and abusive words toward you. That's your speciallity.
So to drag myself down to your level, nob and double nob to you back.  :grin:

And if you're a 40mpg man rather than a GTI driver why didn't you opt for the GTD? Assuming you can manage a non abusive reply to that.  :kiss:

Amazing that eh, you have never fallen out with me, nor have you disagreed, yet you responsed to my post by throwing my possible 'reputation' on this forum at me.

And you expect me not to respond ? Dude, your living on another planet.

I have had my car for 4000 miles, 3000 of them with the remap.  It really is funny how people view remapped cars, my car is driven smoothly and with respect, not redlined, and the rewards are higher because of the map. If anything I don't need to drive it as hard as the standard car to get the same result so a remapped car could theoretically be less thrashed than a non mapped car.

If you have a MK6 GTI and you drove it with the map, I doubt many of you would want to take it off.  Would I buy a mapped car? Of course, the same way I would but a motorbike with aftermarket exhausts. Just because someone has spent time and money enhancing their car doesn't mean they are boy racers.

Also better fuel economy, my average went up 5mpg after the map, safer for overtaking etc.

I'm with you, gossa :smiley:

I agree about the arguing. Enough already.

Despite the little bickers that seem to have crept into this thread, thanks FroGTI for a quality write-up :smiley:

I have a suspicion our cars are going to end up being more similar than just the colour & a sunroof :wink:

I have the 1.4 GT TSi (160) and i'm thinking of getting a remap also, Revo are claming a BHP increase from 159BHP to 219BHP  :shocked:
Surely that can't be right? Seems abit extreme and maybe will put alot of strain on my 1.4 engine? At £399 it seems daft not too if those are the figures being offered

Let me guess...their 'standard car' made 185+ BHP when they tested it?
