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.

MAT ED30:
Mine is stage 1 revo

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.
