My rtech map review
AJP:
Is that even a 'linear' map though? The torque and power curves are much less linear than the AMD map. Going by the graph it should feel much quicker, like Rich said.
Doesn't make any sense at all that it felt punchier with the AMD map. Unless it's something to do with the throttle mapping? There's a recent thread on that as it happens.
This is what I don't get about R-Tech maps. Everyone says they're 'linear', yet they've got a fatter curve of low to mid torque than nearly all other TFSI maps (Shark and a couple of others are comparable). Surely that makes it anything but linear, but I've heard this before, about R-Tech maps feeling tame. Lack of a big spike maybe?
I'm very happy with mine by the way, and will be going down for Stage 2 soon (just in case anyone thinks I'm doubting them!)
What are your mods? Downpipe and decat with a standard cat back at a guess?

Hi
I've got loba hpfp, 3" downpipe , induction kit
And car running on vpower fuel.
Nicky did say my oem back box was restricting flow.
I've got up early roads are quiet so will give it a little blast and report back lol

Let us know what you find.
You can definitely see where it drops off around 5k. I didn't think the standard cat back was too restrictive, but I'd never question what Niki says!
