Remaps for GTI (Manual) which one and prices?

[bling]

Hi to all forum members.
Bought myself a gti manual and have been reading up about remaps but keep getting so many different stories.
Is there a thread with prices, Pro's and Con's of certain remaps?
looked at the sticky thread and its ok but does't have every map available.
also would be nice if they had details of who was selling the remaps aswell.
thanks

Welcome to the MKV section Bling

If you follow the link below you will get to my project thread and there are the reasons etc why I chose the APR map. (about the 4th post)

Yes thanks for the advice. does the standard gti work aswell on the remaps as the ed30?
and was it hard changing the facia to a screen and is that a double din screen?

my apr map behaves superbly over 13000 miles and 6 months use.

very smooth, progressive delivery and night and day faster than a standard golf.

lost about 4 mpg but i think because you are encouraged to drive faster by the car, this cant be helped

yes i have had bluefin on other cars like the focus rs and it works really good!
only thing i found was that the company are bloddy crooks when it came to reseting the unit! wanted nearly the full price of a new unit!
put me off buying products where companies dont want they product resold!

I had APR on my last regular GTi and it was smashin in both stage 1 and when we did the stage 2 upgrade, 15000miles no bother at all, in fact it was so good it made me want more so ED30 it was

yeh, i had one on my ST and i did get it reset for free, but they did shaft me when they told me they wasnt changing there map like everyone else was at the time (for more power etc etc ), i sold the unit then a week later they changed the map !!, anyway not a biggie , if you consider if you have a permanent map like apr put on the car you dont have the option of removing it and getting cash back at all and theres is £600

A remap works well on a std GTI without a doubt.

Yes it is a double din screen and no it isn't too hard to change it over as long as you have the correct parts when you start.
