Thank you R-Tech - Another happy customer!
« on: November 04, 2015, 02:52:18 pm »
(I don't tend to post too much on here, I just read guides)

After reading so many positive reviews about R-Tech I decided to get a stage 1 remap. Mine is a 2008 GTI Mk5, only performance mod was a pipercross panel filter. The team were all very helpful and knowledgable, and the results were better than I ever thought possible. Thank you so much to all at R-Tech, the car feels so different and so much more fun to drive, I would recommend stage 1 to everyone! Also the switchable maps are useful if for some reason you dont want full power :)

HP: 195.5 to 251.5
Torque (ft/lb): 235 to 302
Torque (nm): 318 to 409

That's a huge increase chap - enjoy it. It feels like a totally different car right?

I couldn't stop myself and have just gone stage 2. If you think stage 1 is fun, wait til you try stage 2......

What mods do you have with stage 2? What sort of figures did you get?

The torque potential from the Powervalve variable tone boost actuated system is amazing  :happy2:

And I can vouch for that......that exhaust system is out of this world, truly amazing!

I honestly believe no other mods are needed. This is more than enough for the GTI. The torque levels are truly phenomenal.

I know people upgrade the suspension and the brakes etc. but I believe the standard set-up is spot on and works just fine. Why change something that doesn't need fixing?
