I would have thought a standing quarter of 13.6 - 13.8 would be and easy ask for a remapped MKII Cupra with over 300bhp :undecided:

60bhp extra and only 0.09 secs off .....was the driver of the remapped Leon asleep? :rolleyes:

What sort of power and torque gains are they estimating?

I am looking at buying a map for my standard GTI at the moment. Hard to narrow down to a final selection though. Bluefin, Revo APR or GIAC.

I have had many previous cars remapped by various tuners, really looking for quite a reasonably aggressive map with lots of kick/boost.

Any suggestions or help/advice would be appreciated.

Thanks, :tongue:
Chris.

the best gains mate are from the revo map, dont forget with respect the GTI turbo is tiny so dont expect 2 much, the best chip out their by far is the morego chip for the standard GTI ko3 turbo.

I am guessing but do the gains from the Revo come from higher peak boost levels?  what makes the morego a better option? more drivable or more usable torque curve maybe?  I am guessing you have  tried both?

thanks for comments though.  :smiley:

....I have only experienced the Revo (Stage1) but can report that power delivery is both strong and smooth through all the gears but obviously tailing off at 120 mph plus (various autobahn storming sessions). It's completely driveable and torque is still very effective throughout in D-mode of DSG.

Still GIAC  for me - if your looking for a map that you can live with on a daily basis. Do not be fooled by all out racing maps..... nightmare in traffic.......

....Stage1 Revo isn't a "racing map" - It's totally practical in traffic. I've also driven Ray West's road&track 270 bhp GTI on the road and that's totally practical too. Also have driven other high power GTI's. The key to driving any performance car is to have a sensitive right foot and be focussed (which you should always do in every vehicle you drive).

Those who remap their car's ECU 'brain' would also (more importantly) benefit from remapping their brain with a few one-to-one high performance driving courses such as CarLimits and Drivetrain. :cool:
