Hi Sean,

I hope RSD are good as the remap alone is £1,175. I'm awaiting confirmation by e-mail on some questions I have before I commit to "extra's".

Well, it is the products they use.  RSD do seem to have a good reputation though, and I think that merely stems from using tried and tested VAG specific products.  I just hope they don't have a "bad day", when you let them tinker with yours! 

330bhp and 317lb ft in a car weighing less than 1400kg = 235bhp/ton(admittedly front wheel drive and not 4 like your lush little baby ) +DSG launch control

You'll never get all those horses to grip from rest, unless you get a transmission modified map too!!! 

      V's

 414bhp and 317lb ft in a car weighing around 1650kg = 251bhp/ton + 4WD

How's about a 1/4mile shootout at inters?

Nah, anyone can get a car to go fast in a straight line (with enough practice) - it's the twisties which interest me!

If you accept I just hope its bl00dy dry

Wuss, I'll just start praying to the rain gods!!!

Where is their "history" - fcuk all !!!

Of AutoPS - who the heck are PCM Tuning, or Gary Hamilton   What kind of "back-up" do these offer?

And JBS - they don't even mention the 2.0T FSI, or the Bosch MED9 . . . .

You've certainly found a pair of "wannabees" there!

i think the guys at aps are the former members of amd, ie ed and the guy that writes the software. and jbs have done loads of conversions , engine swaps and big turbo upgrades, famous for there skoda gt28rs turbo's.  cant beleive you guys havnt heard of them. check out a few golf mags.  and both are in the new tuner mag iirc

At least two things smack me with a wet fish regarding that sentance:
AMD - American (no homogenised injection, so not suitable for European ECUs)
Former members - hmm, pushed or walked?  Whilst I personally don't rate AMD, over the pond, they are extremely highly rated!
The guy that writes the software - get real, it takes teams of many to do this kind of stuff!

But I'll say it again - these have no experience of either the FSI turbo engine, nor the Bosch MED9.

I really can't get my head around why you are even considering these two!

[phope]

AMD are a long established UK based VAG, and now Porsche & BMW business - no connection with the USA

They have since been bought out by BigBoysToys and Mega4

I don't know much about APS and JBS so I can't comment on their skills or quality.

Also, as I understood it, the GTI 2.0 TFSI engine has never operated with a stratified mode, either here or in the USA (correct me if I'm wrong) - I understood it operates under a permanent "homogenised" directly injected air/fuel mix, rather than a variable "stratified/homogenised" directly injected mix..so why would an American tuner be at a disadvantage to a European tuner, other than ensuring that the generally lower fuel quality over in North America is taken into account when building a map???

Actually many of the the most complex pieces of software are written by one "guy". There are some problems you simply can't subdivide.
