R-Tech all the way. I know everyone on here seems to banter on about them but I have had nothing but good service from the guys there. Helpful and friendly wont remap and run like many other turners out there do.

Don't quote me on this but I think its £250 for a remap, full diagnostics and rolling road before and after. AUM so you have the better turbo Ko3s so 210(?)

Best bet is to give Pip or Nick a ring - http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=118859.0

Before the remap-
I would recommend before going up there buy a Forge 007p DV, the VW standard one is prone to crack and hinder performance by giving a boost leak. Also a Pipercross Panel Filter. That should see you good results.

Just be warned this extra power and torque can put strain on your clutch and if its going this will almost certainly finish it off. Good upgrade for this is a VR6 and G60 set up read here

After the remap-
Full turbo back exhaust, Milltek are the most known, but you can get a custom job made up for a bit less. Decat or sports cat if you have a few bob to spend.
Front mount Intercooler(FMIC) to cool the air down.

The list can go on just depends on what you want to achieve.

are you not best gettin the decat before the remap so they can adjust the lambda sensor values?

if your goin to r-tech just get them to fit the forge dv.

For stage 1 you do not need a decat. To make the most of a decat you need a map to accommodate to the faster spool that is where stage 2 remap with the limits increased for the sensors comes for most.

R-Tech or Tuneside will point you in the right direction what ever you do. Best advice you cold possibly get are from either Nick ar R-Tech or Chris (topher) at Tuneside
