Mk5 200bhp remap - R-Tech?

[Tetrisp1mp]

Hi all,

Moved across from uk-mkivs

I'm bored of my mk5 gti dsg and want to breathe some life into it again so fancy a remap!

I've owned 3 1.8Ts in the past and always gone Revo but it's just too expensive compared to others out there.

I've been looking at r tech due to excellent word of mouth, but most of these come from 1.8T owners, in fact I don't think I can see any mk5 gti feedback on their site.

I've done some searching online and have found only 1 decent revirew Inc. Rr graphs (aland). Can anyone else shed some light on their 2.0 tfsi remap prowess?

I see they do a stg1 and stg1 custom, is custom worth the extra coin with no mods? Well a panel filter and rev d dv!

They are also on eBay, it looks like their stg1 custom is £250 or best offer, but is advertised at £290 on their website price list?   

thanks !!

I have tried a few times to call over 2 days but am not able to get through - They must be very busy!

I have also sent a few emails but get bounce backs saying that their mailbox is full. 

Shame I would like clarification on prices as I am very keen to go ahead sometime in the coming weeks.

I've been out in AlanD's car and can vouch that its very quick indeed

I've also been out in a Carbon Tuning Mk5 (other forum sponsor) and that's quick too lol

For a stage 1, just ensure your engine is in good working order (although the tuners should give the car a thorough check before remapping) 

Depending on the age of your car it would be worthwhile upgrading the DV to the revised version from VW; early ones tend to split when the car is standard so a remap will finish them off very quickly.  The new revised DV eliminates this problem

Hi, I have had an r-tech remap on my mk5 GTI (manaul) now for 2 months and give you pretty good idea as what to expect from the car. It is awesome! I would definately recommend the R-tech remap to anyone.

I was in a similar position to you, had the car for 3 years and although I love it I was thinking I need more power. I had already invested in a Milltek cat-back and a pipercross panel so had a good base to start from. I gave Nick a call and booker her in for a stage 1 custom map. Called down one saturday morning and Nick popped her on the rollers, gave a thorough check over the engine, took out the diverter valve and did a full diagnostics. Everything was good so she was put on the rollers, pulled 210 bhp standard, not bad for an exhaust and a filter. The map was then uploaded, took about 40 mins but I went to investigate the butty van and admire the other motors surrounding their neat little unit. Map uploaded then back on the rollers, pulling just shy of 250 bhp with 270 ft llb of torque!!I then thanked Nick and his team for there work, by the way they are a great set of lads with a good set up. Top guys!

Took her for a test drive then off home to Sheffield. First impressions are amazing, turbo spools up like a Bi*$ch! Real old school, reminded me a Scooby. Then it just keeps pulling and pulling. Motorway driving is great, so much torque. Power delivery is so hard and smooth. Really wish I had this done years ago, makes the car so enjoyable to drive. Fuel economy has improved when not driving like an idiot, which I must admit is very difficult not to do. Something really adictive about spooling up the turbo and wasting other cars!!

Two months of pure pleasure, not problems at all other than the tyres are taking a hammering due to a more heavy right foot.

Cannot recommend this enough, please give Nick a call at R-tech you will not be disappointed for the money!

Ah I read it as he was going to fit them and not that he already had  :embarassed:  Either way, one SHOULD be fitted
