Min Service Expected from Remap Dealer

[duffy78]

Hi all,

am considering a stage 1 remap, like the sound of the Revo.

Had a look on their website and the nearest dealer to me is in darlington, however another member pointed out that this does not look like a decent place, he had a pop over to check it out. Seems to think that all the do is upload the software and thats it.

This has got me thinking, what is the minimum service you expect from these sort of people?

Im not to fussed about finding out the bhp gains so a rolling road isnt really at the top of my list, however i would expect them to take my car out on the road to test out the remap and maybe make any adjustments that are required.

A good dealer will normally either put the car on a rolling road or take it out for a test drive to ensure the set up is right. some also get readings off the boost to make sure the system is dealing with the new map okay. They can also tell if the car is tending to run lean with fuel/air.

get a bluefin, had mine for a few weeks now and am very happy with it. install yourself in 20 mins, give superchips a call, they couldn't be more helpful.

thanks for the heads up.

what is the tuning limit of a gti with a dsg gearbox? i've heard you have to limit the torque to a certain amount.

is this true?

300nM is what the guys on here have said previously.

Don't know where the guidance for that comes from but i'm sure someone will explain in more detail.

[duffy78]

is that right?

i thought a stock gti runs at 275Nm?

bluefin puts this to 317 ?

maybe its lbft, this would sound more sensible.

[MikeGTI]

I think you may be right on that. Apologies for the confusion.

[duffy78]

been reading a bit more about bluefin, sounds right up my street,

does anyone know if someone has compared this to a revo map?

[sunnylunn]

i did some homework before deciding on bluefin, the graphs that i have seen on this and other forums dont appear to differ too much, they cant really can they. its down to personel choice in the end, i thought bluefin would give me what i was after and it has plus some! you can just put the standard map back in when you have to take it for a service and swap it back to hyperdrive after. happy days.

Does Bluefin show you any fault codes in your car before you put the map on.obviously when you do a revo map they check your car for faults through there laptop before the map.
