New GTi owner.....and another remapping thread...

How does the switchable handset work?  I'm sure I heard of a remap which allows you to change maps on the fly, rather than plug in a handheld device and wait 20 minutes in order to run it normally.  If I could switch quickly between maps then a slightly more aggressive one would be ok - I can just switch to normal when the wife is going to drive it

REVO has the select switch which allows you to adjust the settings

Bluefin is the unit you plug in and download

In all honesty for 99% of people the remap suits everyone's driving.  Swapping and changing can be a bit cumbersome

Depends if you want to be able to have some say in how the car runs I guess

Hello,

We can offer one of the smoothest 2.0TFSI maps around, which is very strong and linear across the whole rpm range, no flat spots nor no nasty boost spikes to make the car feel quick. 

We dont offer any switch options for the TFSI, I have see some many issues with failed flashes and car not starting because the OBD lead was pulled to early, which in most cased the ecu need to come out of the car to be fixed. The revo switch option is the safest on the market as you dont have to fully flash the map back on.

We can offer a full visual and pc based diagnsotics session, and rolling road setup with before and after print outs. The power gain should be around 38-42bhp 64-70lbft.  Total price is £285 all inc,


And as for warranty dealers cannot void it unless they can prove the remap was at fault and cause the issue.  Its easy for a VW dealer to see if the car has been remapped or not.

Do they ever check though?  I thought with the Bluefin that it doesn't show many times the ECU has been flashed, therefore the dealer wouldn't be able to tell?

I must admit your price looks good (and your rep on these boards), I'm just not entirely sure about the non-switchable part - I've read that some people switch to the standard map when the weather is bad i.e. snow, ice etc.  Is this a problem?  I would guess that the GTi drives like a pussycat when you want, even with it remapped?

Just had a look at your website, and I can't get the idea of a new exhaust out of my head    Would my overall warranty on the car be screwed if I changed this though?  Don't fancy the thought of losing 2 years warranty, as you never know how much it's going to be worth....

I have a REVO chip, which is excellent and pulls nicely constantly through the rev range, would definately recommend. Never been picked up by VW.
