Try this . Do 80 mph and put you foot down half way , if it changes down its standard . If its mapped it won't change down as no need , bhp and torque are up and it just pulls . That's what happens with mine anyway from standard to stage 1 . You could drive a standard gti , I think standard is pretty slow to be honest that's why I just had to have a map . Although my previous car was a 911 so that didn't help lol

DSG adapts itself to each driver, this method of finding out a map won't work.


What? explain ?

Taken from wikipeidia.

" Because the DSG's ECU uses "fuzzy logic", the operation of the DSG is said to be "adaptive"; that is, the DSG will "learn" how the user drives the car, and will progressively tailor the shift points accordingly to suit the habits of the driver."

Jamma I don't think that's a scientific method of ascertaining if a car is remapped.

It's a good indication though IMO  :smiley:


Do you use a pine cone to forecast the weather?  :smiley:

No my Iphone  :signLOL:
