Had a GIAC remap

Hi thought I'd let you know my recent experience of having my MY08  DSG Ed30 remapped at Star Performance last week....

Overall the service was as good as usual, even giving me a lift into Kirkcaldy, saving me the walk... by Jim's wife... The overall process took about 2 hours and all was well...

The end result was only OK if I'm honest...  I had only owned my Ed30 for a couple of weeks before the remap so had not properly got to grips with the performance... that said whilst I can feel the improved pull it is not the monster I had hoped for and expected with the claimed 310bhp! 

In Sport mode the car seems to stuggle with the change in performance and speed at which the revs rise in each gear... so much so that it almost feels like it;s off boost between 4000 - 5000 rpm, until it picks up again.... 

The best results seem to be when I do not slam my foot down hard but firmly and quickly depress the pedal....

Was wondering what other people had experienced with GIAC or other remaps on an ED30 DSG????

I dont have an ed30 dsg but I recently got a GIAC remap on my GTI manual 6speed. And I can say that im very pleased, the car is a beast now. Constantly spinning in 2nd which it didnt do before.

The power is constant too, not just at high rpms.

Didnt get it rr tested yet but my butt says it definately got the 245-50 bhp and 360-70 nm torque they promised  :driver:

Is the map the correct version manual/DSG as some tuners use different software

chris s:
yeah I would assume it was the right remap as it was performed by Jim in Star Performance who really knows his stuff

john_o:
did you get a rolling road printout/session when the remap was done?
To be honest an ED30 remap is night and day, so sounds like you may have an issue thats holding the car back.
