Anyone who is unsure about getting an r-tech should not be! I have had my mk5 gti remapped for nearly a year now and I still love the kick back I get from the remap. Nick did a great job and checks everything on the car before uploading, proper job, nick knows what he is doing and isnt a tinpot chav with a laptop operating out of a rascal van. This is a quality remap, very smooth, loads of torque gain and a good kick from the turbo. Really transforms the car. Just wanted to big up r-tech!

I'm not Nick but I'm running the same engine in my Audi



That's with the DPF in place.  I've covered approx 12,000 miles on the map with no issues so far  :smiley:

Shame you're not closer as I could take your for a spin. 

Issues only really occur if you ignore the DPF warning lights; the sensors tend to fail thus leading to the pipe clogging up and you hit severe problems

This one's for R-TECH -

Is there any pre-checks that you guys carry out to make sure the DSG box is in a good enough condition, before carrying out any re-mapping?

I had my previous, manual GTI remapped - but I'm getting a little worried about getting the current, DSG version one done.

We carry out visual inspections and VDCS diagnostics on the engine and DSG, there is no way of knowing the internal condition of the engine, turbo and gear box.    Thats the risk with any kind of tuning, saying that major issues with the TFSI and DSG are very very rare.   I have mapped my cars with DSG at all stages, TFSI and TDI and as far as I know no one customer has had DSG related issues post remap.
