Down on power?

[andyrew2106]

Hey,

So I've bought a golf 1.8t and it has been chipped by the previous owner, I've had it a few days and it does'nt seem any faster than a standard 1.8t, I was wondering what speeds have people got out of each gear?

thanks

speeds in each gear not going to change when its been remapped only diff ratios in the box would alter that really its how quick it gets to that speed check youtube for remap mk4s and see

[andyrew2106]

ok cool cheers

maybe it hasnt been mapped

what do you exactly mean by chipped as in its had a little black box plugged into it or as it had a live map done

[andyrew2106]

well I don't imagine its had a map, I got given a little box with a chip in it, and he said this was the old chip and that it had been replaced with a superchip, I'm now beyond confused!

put a pict of this chip u got handed up

[cullygti]

tbh them chips are sh!te only way to extract power imo is to get a proper map done

[andyrew2106]

yeah i do intend on getting a proper map done, any idea if you can get a map on top of having a chip? I would put a pic up but I havent got the chip to hand at the mo

tbf i dont think you would need the chip with a map i remember someone on uk-mkivs having one on their tdi and when nick @ r-tech run it on the dyno it was only producing an extra 20bhp as opposed to the +40 that it said on the box and caused some implications once removed it was full steam ahead
