Remap- wait for warranty to expire?

[Gtiain]

Just wondered what peoples opinions were on this? I have a year left of my warranty but very tempted by a map.

we all played with our from new  so get modding 

[Gtiain]

So if I were to get a revo map, is there anything else I'd realistically need to upgrade immediately or can it be done to a stock gti without doing anything? I'm new to the modding game!

[MAT ED30]

just map it and have fun nice and easy

I'm in the same boat as you Iain, wanting a remap but I think I'm gonna wait for the warranty to run out first. 

You just going stage 1 with Revo?

[Gtiain]

Yes I think so. I've heard that revo is marginally the best so will go with that. Just gonna go with stage one for now then in the future when I want more power I'll move to stage 2! How much longer does your warranty last?

[Mandy]

Runs out somewhen in January so still a good 5-6 months! Not as much as your one year though I suppose! 

I think I'll go for stage 1 Revo for starters too.

Do it now as you may not have the car for what ever reason  in a year's time.

make sure your car is tip top , tyres/oil/serviced etc
then just go for it  
be prepared for possible tething troubles (PCV/DV etc) and maybe stick a bit more aside just in case (clutch if you are manual etc)
If you have a really early GTI be worth checking your cam version/follower is OK too

But most cars just remap without any issues   and are all the better for it  

(dont forget to consider insurance costs too!)

My car is an 06 gti with dsg? Same potential problems?

[john_o]

aside from a clutch yep, but dont worry.
worth a DSG oil change if you havent done so already as good practice
