Golf GTD remap review...
« on: 12 January 2010, 13:31 »
hey all,
I will be picking up a GTD in a few weeks and will be getting a remap for it.

I am hoping those who have a remapped GTD could post up the comapny they used, the price and their opinions regarding the improvement post fitment.

thanks in advance,
Cheers,
Jon

Got mine done by badger5 in Stroud gloucestshire using revo made a huge difference, low down grunt in all gears. Revs faster and further through the range a gti killer now. Can doodle around at 30 mph in 4th and pull away nice and steadily upto a 110 ; )

Cheers for that Evo, did you pay much, can you easily restore it back to standard?

£399 plus vat for remap

Have not put it back to standard since having it done, instructions look pretty simple.

It'd take quite a GTI to beat a GTD to 110 in those circumstances.

It'd be interesting to see some timing sheets with and without a remap... :lipsrsealed:
