Simple software patch when the car is remapped or it can be done for a standard car

but your mad lol if you want a car that drives well, has little issues after the blood sweat and tears then the 1.8t is the car for you, ive now got my car working as its suppose to, its taken 2 years, 3000£ and lean months but i can now start modding properly and i know as soon as i start its gonna bring up fresh problems lol

its a vicious circle but if you want a car that keeps you smiling and guessing then have fun matey , i am  :grin:
