Mk4 1.8t aum need a remap! Look-->
« on: 07 January 2012, 19:21 »
Hi all had my 1.8t a little while now I was going to get it remapped last month but then gearbox went , but been sorted 2 day so that's all good bassicly when I was looking i found a place near me who do revo flash maps and heard good talk about r-tech , I'm northamptonshire , where is best and how far is r-tech ??

 Also so far just ordered a forge 007p dump valve
I have an open air filter on it
Just bought standard air box and pipercross panel filter
But do I keep open air filter put air box or buy force feed induction ???? Best results ??

Or any other bits that make a good difference before I remap it

Also I had boost pressure valve mechanical fault but gonna put new n75 valve on on Monday as causes are dump valve , n75 valve and few other bits but can only help hey !


Add ya input !!!! Cheers

Stick with standard airbox and panel filter, don't bother changing the N75 unless yours is faulty. Other than a 007p you need nothing else.

R-Tech should be fairly local to you, however only you can see how far away they are....try google maps? :huh:

They offer their own maps as well as Revo maps.

I'm just gave it a full service and did gearbox the management light has not come back on yet but when it does it says boost pressure valve mechanical fault , it kinda chooses when it goes if you get me sometimes the power not there then suddenly it is but I don't mean turbo boost as it seems to feel like its not boosting correct as its like it kicks in when ever it wants not a set peak  , also when I bought it I put it on rolling road and it got 112.2 bhp at the wheels which I thought was pants to be honest :/ don't know what they should be at the wheels but I thought more than that and about these tips , pipes etc put up some links mate :D cheers

The parts in my car I'll look 2mora.    And these worth gettin ye suppose eliminates a lot of potential leaks ?? I am gonna get r - tech to map it just wanted to do little bits first rather than after its mapped , fort maybe de- cat but dunno :/ , got a standard air box and pipercross panel soloing to fit that I'm gonna smooth the air box Monday I think might make slightest difference ? What else you think worth getting mate also what's yours like on fuel when cruising ? I fitted cruise control to mine that helped a lot but I think it still drinks it dunno if the open air filter helps either tbh!

i went to r-tech to find pipes leaking i replaced mine with the same as in the links  :cool:

mines been garaged since august 2011 so kinda forgot what the fuels like on cruising  :grin:

mine was mapped with a pipercross induction kit alot of people are against them due to heatsoak etc i ran a cold air feed to mine with no problems  :smiley:

Ye well it could maybe explain why it's under powering more than likely leakin to be honest and ye I was gonna get a new induction kit but everyone said get standard air box and smooth it so I thought why not , I think people saying with

Forge 007p dv
Panel filter
New pipes

R-tech can get around 200 approx which I don't think is bad and hopefully with smooth out my power range and give it that extra little go
