Well I got the revo treatment today ...... Wowzers now it's quick. I have to say tho immediately after the remap I could hardly tell the difference but after filling up she flew. upon arriving home to after switching off the ignition my car sounded like a Boeing 747 with the fans cooling the engine ? Is this normal ? I assume the engine gets hotter with the new found power therefore the fans need to go into overdrive ?

Hehe, welcome to the club. Makes you wonder why VW don't make the GTI like that in the first place :cool:

I'm sticking with Oettinger, due to their reputation and history with VAG engines going right back to the original GTI in 1976  :wink:

Slightly less headline power claimed, but who cares  :laugh:

Roll on July 1st!

When I had my 335d remapped up to 340bhp, the difference was remarkable, but huge care was needed in the wet  :rolleyes:

Hoping my GTI will be that little bit better post remap  :cool:

My mate just had his "JD-Engineering" remap last friday on his MK V and they could measured his torque (I believe it is more important than BHP) they measured 392 Newton.... :shocked:

The rollerbank was 100 euro extra and will only detail you if it is 250 or 253 BHP.... :drool:

They added roundabout 40-45 BHP...and he is as happy as.....make that a porsche-boxter-owner... :smug:

It took one drive in my car a few weeks ago for him to contact "his" remappers....he could no longer live with a normal GTI (his words).....
I'LL BEAT YOU TO THE BBC STUDIO........
