I agree you will not get 65bhp increase off just a remap on a KO3 mate. But I think it's more than possible with a KO4. Even on the dreaded, stingy JKM rollers..  :grin:

I think it's true to say that ALL the tuners are optimistic with their power gain numbers in their advertising. I can sympathise with them because most Joe Bloggs drivers want max for their money and unfortunately some will choose purely on the number which is advertised. However, the consumer should not be misled and I think that tuners should be more explicit in promoting their wares.

Aftersales service is extremely important. I've seen so many people who have ignored advice and gone for the cheap option to then later change to tuners such as Revo or Shark etc.

ECU's are the brains in our expensive chariots and it's simply not worthy mucking about with anything except the tuners who are known for their high standards.

I know the last post on this topic was a while ago but I have a MKV with the AMD re-map and a panel filter fitted.

Before the car was 201.8 HP and 220 lb/ft of torque and after it was 260.8 HP and 291.4 lb/ft. The car is running on Optimax also.

I agree the figures may be a but optimistic and will only know when I put the car on another RR but the difference was massive, smooth power but aggressive, it totally transformed the car I could not believe the difference.

The only criticism is a slight dip in power/flat spot? at 3000-3500 rpm when accelerating hard through the gears from 3rd upwards. 1st and 2nd are awesome now compared to standard.

Would be interested to know how your figures stack up on another set of rollers - got any plans to be visiting any??
Impressive figures anyway and as a comparisson for myself my 8L S3 was 266Bhp & 307ft/lbs on AMD rollers and that was fast as feck (in my opinion) which your Golf is not far from.
