So, on the basis of that important information I would hope that APR's remap is suitable for the UK cars and consequently is different for APR in America. Likewise GIAC.

emailed revo, they said i had to contact my nearest dealer and maybe have my ecu read. so called the revo main office in northampton, the guy said they are taking an edition 30 over to the states to work on a remap, and would be 3 to 4 weeks before they would have the map. does that sound right??? :undecided: :undecided:

I can't comment on the GIAC, but when I questioned the APR suppliers on that very issue, I never got a satisfactory answer!

So I doubt that there will be a specific UK map, and a specific US map - which is why I recommend peeps in the UK/EU to avoid the US orginated chip-tuners.

Hi bmx,

I'd love to know what Diverter Valve VW had used on your Ed30 and I imagine that you would be concerned because of the boost levels you're GTI is now running.

Cheers and Safe Journeys,
Robin

mines done 2000 miles still gonna go steady with her for a couple more thousand though. with occaisional blast now and then  :evil:

when i went for a blast yesterday i was amazed how quiick it got to 100mph, and whenever i looked at the speedo it was always around that mark. but didnt feel like it should have got there so soon, if you know what i mean :shocked: kind of reminded me me of my motorbiking days

gonna fill up with some propper fuel today and see what shes like then, been using bp ultimate and not shell, so hopefully slightly better  :smug:

....You can start to 'open her up' from 1,000 miles if you want. VW engines are well known for loosening up over time - You may feel subtle differences at around 5 and 10,000 miles. Bear in mind that 100 mph on your speedo will be less in reality and also watch that 100 threshold re license losing. It's a bummer I know but even 94 could land you with a court summons.

I found a slight difference between BP Ultimate and Sheel Optimax (now V-Power) best described as 'an edge' but not everyone else has thought this. It's Shell's additives which promote longevity which I find very attractive.

Can anyone tell me if there'd be any issues having an E30 with DSG remapped?
