Cheers mike, top advice mate you clearly know what your talking about!
Missy McKay - for a stage one remap you can leave your exhaust as standard as it more than capable of handling 250 ponies! However it is recommended to getting the cam follower and dv valve replaced of knackered to run top map for the car. Is this right guys?
So this is where I was yesterday...
STAGE 1 REMAP BABY!! As always the team at r-tech know what they are doing and by know everyone searching this forum regarding where to remap there car should strongly consider them as one of the best in the business. I have in a standard gti and after the map I got handed back a totally different machine! The torque increase is crazy and that's not even driving it with ESP off because of the wet, but I can see already that this will land me in a heap of trouble! :p
I think I have officially entered into the gti tuning world!

lol
P.s we need to do a meet soon guys!
