good news tell glad all your sorted,  i have emailed them this mo and echoed your issues, sent them my results and they have come up with this for me:

Morning,

Your Golf has the same calibration as the car we saw here on Monday BUT you
have an uprated Exhaust fitted.  The program that you have fitted now is the
same as the car from Monday but since the exhaust creates a better air flow,
this is causing too much torque for the gearbox to handle.  As such please try
the attached Stage2 file and let me know how it goes.  Thanks.

They have confirmed it is the stage 2 for edition 30,

I will install this evening and report back

hmmm they have a stage 2 map now as well?

I must upload my file for them to check, although I believe mine to be running the proper map as it certainly pulls better than a std DSG car (mine is a manual ed30 with bluefin and milltek)

I confirmed with them to make sure it was stage 2 for editon 30 and they replied:

Yes this is for the Edition30.  Since you have an Exhaust fitted this is called the Stage2.  Power wise I'd expect the same levels of torque (due to gearbox) and around the same maximum power, perhaps a bit more depending on fuel grade.  We've done quite a few Stage2's for Edition30's for Exhausts and uprated KMD/APR Fuel pumps that go very well.

cant wait to give it a wizz! :evil:

Hey James,

did they say what kind of power gains you should expect when you download the stage2 file?

So just out of interest T_T what map would you go for on the R32?? I read a good review of CC over on the r32oc.. apparently they spend alot of time with your car tweaking it so the map is perfect for your car.

With N/A engines, the gains from remaps will be much smaller than a turbo donkey, so because the "bang for you dollar" is going to be much smaller, then price would probably be a bigger factor.  However, CC do concern me, for the reasons mentioned in a previous post.  Furthermore, if you state they are spending loads of time tweaking just an R32 map (normally aspirated, so no turbo settings to tweak), then WTF are they doing?  It isn't difficult to properly develop a map for a normally aspirated car, even when allowing for the common hardware upgrades (zorsts, filters, intakes).  :rolleyes:

Even if they are downloading maps from europe and then tweaking them to match your car.. is that such a bad thing??

You are joking?  :huh:  :shocked:

First, there is the complete lack of accountability.  Even if you do believe CCs advertising - sommat like "the most advanced performance software" - and they are the best, then why the need for all the tinkering you report from R32OC.  And when all this tinkering has been completed, this butchered map never gets sent back to its oringal makers!  This is one very big area where I am happy to commend SuperChips.  So, knowing how I generally feel about SC, this issue must be v.bad!

Next, what about the actual CC "dealers"?  Did you know that absolutely ANYONE with a laptop can purchase the maps direct from CC - and then fcuk around with them without any knowledge of what they are doing!  Yes, there are some very competent and proficient CC dealers, but there are also an aweful lot of cowboy mobile installers - who struggle to master even the basics of automotive technology.  One of these was alleged to have been touting his business at Inters this year, and having crossed swords with the tw@t on another forum - had I have met him, I'd have probably given him a gobful!  :angry:
