Remap do or don't???
« on: 03 October 2013, 22:28 »
Got a 150bhp aum gti 2002 with 85k on the clock, I want to get it remapped with r-tech but a bit worried it's an 11 year old car is it safe or will things start going wrong with it? It's my daily car to work

My AUM has been running a stage one for the last 2 years (25k miles) without a hitch, it's ready for a stage 2 map now though :cool:

Just make sure its in tip top condition before the remap

Give it a full service and get it checked for any boost leaks / cracked pipes etc etc

if it's been well looked after and your prepared to replace common parts that may fail (MAF, coilpacks, split PCV hoses) then go for it.

R-Tech are getting some very good results with stock 1.8t's - 100% worth it
