0-60 time after remapping GTI?

[Peskarik]

my standard gti manual had a supposed 65bhp remap, had it on the rolling road 258bhp, 0-60 5.76 secs, not a bad £350 spent. 

where did you measure 0-60 and how did you do it (ESP off, etc etc..). Just curious

excuse my ignorance but who does the re-map and what does it involve?

So with the ESP off you would achieve a quicker 0-60 time?

Just wondering :p

I am curious about the procedure employed to measure 5.76sec 0-60.

2000 is nothing.

ahah i get u now, my dad has a gtec RR (not sure if its gtech or tec??) hes has it for a few years but they are pritty good at measuring performance of your car, although from what i can remember he said it could be up to 0.2 seconds out, slower or faster. its a good indication thow.

Turning off the traction control in dry conditions will get you a better launch in either the manual or the DSG. The ESP can suck as much as 30% of the power if it detects too much throttle/about to spin the wheels off the line

Anyone with fairly good judgement of throttle control can get a better launch without traction control......in the dry.

totally agree, my manual feels so much quicker with ESP off, not just on launch but on coming out of corners it pulls so much harder!! drive around mostly with it on though uless i want to floor it

don't think I've ever tried turning the ESP off - must try that later on my way home!
