R-tech Spec 1 Remap - done today at R-tech Hinckley Leics

[yosin88]

Well today started with a nice drive from Essex to Leicestershire to get my remap from Rtech booked in for 3pm but arrived bit late courtesy of m25 & m1 

Car is a stock Black 5 Door Mk5 GTI from the dealers and i decided to remap it after my 1 year free warranty has expired.

Overall i am very happy with the results and when i took it for a quick test drive after the Remap was finished, i definitely noticed the difference straightaway but couldnt do too much with everyone leaving the area at rush hour, so alot of foot down and quick braking  .

I was quite surprised though with what the graph shown of the stock performance of the car! didnt expect it. I will post some pics of the graph later this week !

But had some fun this evening when i got back and was well worth it . All in all , Great bunch of guys, friendly, honest and informative and will get on VWs case on the coil packs  plus the dude who does your mobile mapping is a laugh! - dont be suprised Nick if he is AWOL 

thanks again and cheers to all at  R tech - definitely recommended!

  Hopefully not. Mines not achieving requested boost at high revs

Half 9. The logs were done separate & compared, not done together

So you gained about 35bhp.

Is that rather conservative or about right?

If you look at the curves on the graph you will see the power gains worked out at around +43bhp +66lbft which is realistic from a stock stage1 setup, I dont work from head line peak graph numbers, I am more of a more area under the curve man..    That about as good as your going to get a stage1 setup running, with real dyno numbers.

[Syrag64]

Out of interest how much is a stage 1 re-map at R-tech? 

I've got a SS exhaust & twintake to fit, would it be worth fitting them then doing re-map or does it not really matter what order I do it?
