Map removed - And.......
« on: 14 May 2012, 17:17 »
I've just removed my map and reverted back to the standard map and....

Seriously!! Is the GTI that slow?

If you have not mapped your GTI/ED35 you don't know what you're missing.

Mine is stock and destined to stay that way until I sell it. No mapping, no intakes, no lowering and no pimpy wheels  :laugh:

I know exactly how you feel. The standard car is still quick but I find I need to shift down a gear or two when it's running standard software. When the maps on it's pretty epic.

Mapped car is much better, even though the gti (dsg) has a terrible wobbly power delivery from from factory and maps amplify the problems, they are basically nippy standard unless you torture the engine and a map can get rid of that gutlessness.

Most places let you try maps for free, get one and you won't regret it.

I've not had this wobbly power delivery that some folk seem to have been having (and I have DSG). Can you describe it a bit more?

Removed it as its going to the dealers for a Pre 3 year end of warranty check before its third birthday next month.

the second I get it back, the map is going back on.

Mine is DSG and ever had this problem either, it's been on a Dyno Dynamics RR and the power and torque curve is smooth.  It's just as smooth after the map too.

If I were to map, then add a cat back exhaust would it cause any issues as I was planning on doing the other way round?

Anyone in the Herts/Beds area with a mapped MK6 who fancies taking my wife out for a ride to convince her we need this doing  :grin:

Sure thing, under medium/heavy throttle between 2000-3000 revs the power fluctuates.

Also after changing gear under medium/heavy throttle at anything above 2000 revs it will give you the power then take away 10% then gives it back.

It did this when standard ive tryed 3 files from superchips 2 from revo and a couple more that where ordered for me but they all did the same with varying levels of severity and it couldn't be completly mapped out. In the end Craig kept the car for a few days and wrote the best one.

My mats skoda vrs 2.0 did the same thing bar the gear change thing.

I have some power graphs some where which show it clearly apart from the gear change.

I also saw a graph on here once of a gti I think it was a stage 2 and it did the same.
