Cheap is never better, unless it's a shot..... Drive the car to Rtech or did you buy it because you hate driving??? If you did then Rtech also do mobile mapping, there is many-a-link to their website and even more posts with very similar questions in the search bar at the top or in the remap section on the homepage pal

R-tech came to me for a £40 call out fee + price of remap and it was well worth the buck!!

As others have said, drive to R-Tech in Hinckley.  It's well worth the money and you won't regret it.

You won't be getting any of that from R-Tech.  It's mapped or it's not  :tongue:

Was it something like an HKS manual boost controller? I don't think there is an advantage unless you have an evo or similar. Just a normal remap is excellent. I don't think the golf is ecu is clever enough to work properly with the controller without over and underfuelling etc
