Stage 1 Ed30 - Which Remap?

[big al]

Where are you based at?

What about P-Torque in Wolverhampton? I'm running Will's stage one on the Eddy and it makes 300+bhp, as do all the mk3 Leon Cupra's that they do.

They only charge circa £300 for stage 1 with before and after rolling road printout..

Hi Damoegan, where abouts in Wolverhampton are P-torque? I only ask as that is where I am, so a local place that I could go back to is quite advantageous. Any idea how much more a stage 2 is?
I have been talking to Jodie who runs Midland VW and he said that he could do a custom map for a similar price to yours, but I am a little weary of custom ones.

Well, from my point of view, I've had revo, bluefin and a custom PDT remap.
Bluefin is the most economical. Revo had the best power gains. The PDT pulls better from lower revs than the other 2, and made more power than stage 3 bluefin, but uses the most petrol out of the three of them, but is also the cheapest to buy. So it just goes to show custom remaps can be good aswell.

give shark performance a try. they have a group buy on here at the moment.

Agree with the above, though, the k04 does not suffer with lag

I think it can feel quite flat until the turbo spools up mind
The missus clio pulls better from low revs!

Hi Al

This is the price P-Torque offer to SCN mambers:

Later generation 1.9TDI/2.0TDI's and all TFSI models:

P-Torque Stage 1 software: £295.00 all in

P-Torque Custom software: £325.00 - £495.00 all in (dependant on modifications carried out on vehicle)

Location: http://www.p-torque.co.uk/15.html

I'm sure if you send Will a email and tell him I recommended you (same username over on SCN as on here, real name is Damien Egan, Will knows me as both) that he will do you a deal

I would have bough a K03, but I heard they were  asthmatic and ran out of breath after a couple of hundred rpm

I am very interested in driveability and response more than power.

I have driven one car that was clearly very powerful and responsive at speed, say driving at 60mph on the motorway and flooring the throttle. But driving around there was a lot of lag and I didn't like the car for this. It reminded me why I moved away from Turbo's years ago, there was sufficient lag and obvious spool up of power between gears etc.

Is this normal, I don't know the map that was in the car. I have no doubt the stage 1 map was powerful, but only added to the experience for me on the motorway. The other mods were DV and rear box (miltek)

Any comments guys ?

Something does not add up here... The car even at stage 1 has a a huge difference from stock with absolutely no lag...  Something must have been wrong with the car you are reffering to... 

Completely agree mate, Stage 1 ED30 is awesome

By how much was your mpg different ?

Any views of these maps ?

I can safely say I have never heard of them.

ive heard of motech, but have never heard of any body running a motech map on th TFSI. Its a deal stopper for me

Just to add my experience on this. Had my Ed30 from new and after about three and a half years decided to try a remap.
After much looking and reading on this forum I went for the Revo Stage 1 map in December. It really is the "should've done that ages ago mod".
I went for Revo as I imagined the numbers of maps they have done for 2.0 VAG turbo cars means their product should do what it's supposed to do, for me it is fab, however i'll concede that there are the odd exception where it doesn't work right, that's only from reading of heavyd's problems on here.
I went to Revo also as Stg2/Stg2+ was on my radar and the upgrade path is cheaper for further maps.
 
I wanted a totally stock 'feeling' car when sat in traffic etc, didn't want some highly strung prima donna. In short I wanted a VW Golf still.
The remap in conjunction with a high flow fuel pump has been really great, no issues, no real difference in fuel used, but I don't tend to analyse economy much anyway. Had a Dbilas intake and Milltek DP/Cat fitted yesterday and that just adds to the enjoyment, now making it slightly more 'fruity' sounding.
I think my objectives have scaled back - the car is and always will be a daily driver - so think I will get a Twintercooler sometime and just stick at the middle ground of perhaps Stg2, but running cool.

I never felt even standard it had lag, but guess it depends what you're used to, my other half's GT TDi 170 now that's got lag. She then drives the Ed30 the same way and we fly up the road. Since stage one the car is much livelier. Great mod for the car.

I have heard and used MoTeC, which is a 'proper' engine management that replaces the ECU, only practical on track cars (can map on throttle position etc)

But not motech, me thinks this is a little cheeky re the name ?
