Quick update on my 1.8T with Rtech remap.....
I took my 128k mile AGU to R-Tech at the end of November 2009 for their standard Stage 1 remap. My car is stock apart from a Forge 007p DV.
Pre-remap, the car made 160hp/160ftlb on the dyno. It showed no fault codes. When the map was put on, the higher level of boost highlighted a leaking intercooler connection pipe which Chris and Ben quickly fixed. They ran the car again and it made 189/209. This was with the standard green spring in the DV, Chris changed this for a yellow spring, ran the car again and it made 190/210. Thats an increase of 30hp/50ftlb !
I'm really pleased with the change the remap has have made. The car is far more responsive and pulls harder and from lower revs. I was after more torque, and that's primarily what i got.
The car has now done 146k miles and (touch wood!) has never missed a beat. There's no oil leaks and no issues, its just like it was when i left Rtech almost 2 years ago. I'm currently looking for an early Mk5 GTi and based on how impressed i am with Rtech, i'll be taking the car for a remap with them with no hesitation. I wouldn't even consider going anywhere else, even though there are places much closer to where i live.
All in all a real bargain for the quality of service and product they offer.
Cheers fellas, keep up the cracking work!
