Who's got an AMD remap???
RedRobin:
Hi Lovegroover - I'm loving your forum name :happy2: 8) :happy2: Very cooool.
AmD used to be considered Numero Uno amongst tuners but personnel changed (the boss emigrated IIRC) and it went downhill and gathered a poor reputation. The best guys who remained later went off and started APS.
Meanwhile, AmD has actively done a lot to regain a good reputation and have recently gained support from Milltek. AmD will be running a Mk5 GTI in this season's BTTC, so they should know what they're doing!
Personally I don't have any direct experience of AmD except from in the old days.
Hope This Helps :smiley:

i have driven shauns vRS which has the stage 2 k03 map on there(he says 277hp, i say extremely optimistic, 250-260 realisticly). at the time i had bluefin stage 2(they were installing my HPFP at the time) it wasnt as pokey as the bluefin low down but better up the top, which to be honest wasnt an issue when you see how it was running
i have driven REVO stage 2 K03 TFSIs and shark performance stage 2 vRS and they are both more pokey along the entire rev range than both the bluefin and AMD map. but most noticably is the torque improvment low down
on a side note though, im not sure what supporting mods he had on the AMD car other than the miltek TBE.
how much is the amd map in comparison to revo. they do both there.

You also wont see 65bhp with just a Remap i don't care what anybody says. I've seen hundreds of RR sessions with stage 1 k03 & K04 cars and no-one has ever gotten that power from just a remap alone.
REVO,APR,Shark etc seem to be the preferred options.

Do you mean specifically the KO3 and KO4 cars or any car wont see a 65bhp increase? I am currently thinking of getting a 1.4 tsi 140 bhp. REVO states they remap to 205 bhp (stage 1). Is that possible or not then?
Ollie :happy2:
vRS Carl:
Not with JUST a remap it isn't.
Think about it thats almost a 50% increase in power. It just isn't going to happen. You will get the torque figure (or thereabouts) but you will not get 65bhp from just a software upgrade.
