wow thats a good price, but then theres fitting to include for us mortals.
I can only hope mine stays OK!
should really be usage profile rather than miles with a remap until slipping.

I mean really, it would be rude not to fit an LSD whilst its apart  :wink:

Hmmm .... worrying stuff, yet another post remap issue - makes me wonder how other manufacturers such as Ford & Vauxhall can offer they cars already with aftermarket remaps from dealer without without the hassle some of us seem to be getting here.

....I don't know the details but I expect that the dealer's aftermarket remaps are probably 'only' Stage1 and so are still well within the factory tolerances, whereas a lot of the guys here are pushing the envelope further and can expect to have issues, especially without some important mechanical mods.

I've been giving this some thought, and tbh its  not really any big deal when you consider that a clutch upgrade will work out at not much more than the cost of a remap should the problem arise.  My uest for power is going to continue unabated. :smiley:

I think the GTi's here suffering with clutch issues are also only stage 1.  My stage 1 ED30 should be around the 290 - 300 bhp and similar torque figures.  Just getting concerned.
