Mk4 2.0 throttle boddied. Were to map?
« on: 20 February 2011, 18:15 »
Hi, iv just bought a mk4 2.0 gti running individual bodies. Its running lumpy and isnt smooth until jitting high revs. Been told it needs mapping to set them up correctly. Was wondering weres the best place localy (mansfield nottighamshire)? Also what sort of price am i looking at and what gains can be expect? Is it a comon mod and is there anyone on here with experience with a similar set-up? Thanks

What make are the throttle bodies and what ecu is it running.

TBs on stock ecu not going to work correct, maybe a few 100 hours on the map code stripping it down and running the basics vs tps? 

Your best bet is a cheap setup like mega squirt imo

Thanks for reply. Could the mega squirt be piggybacked from standard ecu or would i need to do awqy with that alltogether? How much would i be looking to have this set up correctly with the mega squirt ecu? Cheers

Don't think MS would be good for a mk4. OEM ECU has more control over vehicle components, and this would be lost. Although it could be done and you probably would need something that could run it in alpha-n mode to get it working properly.

It's also not designed to work in piggyback mode.

I cant help but am interested in the project as I have a 2.0 too.

There is a RR place over Tibshelf / Alfreton way but I don't know if they will be able to set the bodies up.

Well the standard ecu will be no good so your going to need to switch to standalone really.

The bloke I took it to more or less just said it would cost a fortune to set-up right. I dont have much details about the engine other than its on throttle boddies. The bloke who I took it to said whoever has gone to do the conversion has bought all the right stuff and recons it must of cost a fair bit, but then looks as thought theyve just threw it together and half ased had a go at it
