I had recently had a audio install and heard that disconnecting the battery can erase maps so thought that might have been the case, also coming from an RS4 not use to the turbo kick.

You're bang on, lesson learned! It's easy to get wound up but when all said and done it's my own fault for not taking time out and looking into probable causes (ie DV!!).

Great bunch up at R tech just 300 miles away, still i'm willing to stump up two tanks of V power to get them on it  :happy2:

Thanks for all the replies

Was a Celtic agent


....That seems to confirm what I feared.

I had a Jap car tuning specialist try that trick on me at, IIRC, was our first ever forum rolling road meet up near Birmingham. When he started to bad mouth JKM I then knew 100% he couldn't be trusted. I hate people like that - Nothing more than con artists.

Lmfao at this thread. What a bunch of ripping off fcukin tossers. How the fcuk can they not run any logs first is beyond belief, secondly as said in one of the above posts 274 bhp and your maxing that blower out. Wtf. You could run that blower to around 350-360hp. They are totally talking out of their arses and dont deserve custom the ripping cnuts and obviously no jack sh1t about these cars . Total w4nkers. Rant over :scared:

I feel a bit stupid tbh but if it stops someone else making the same mistake then its all good :happy2:

After all this I would rather take the time out and get it back up to R tech, with any luck they can put there map back on and all will be well :)

Quick update..

Spoken to Celtic who have offered to look at the car, when I asked would they be logging it I was told it would have a log for safety purpose before it was put on the RR but there is no need to log during or after they play with it.

Tell me if i'm being stupid but am I right in thinking if you change parameters within the ECU you should surely check they are within safe limits??


I have politely told Celtic I will be going elsewhere  :signLOL:

Proper tuners will log the car, make the adjustments and re-log to check the changes are acceptable. It's a bit like checking the tyre pressure, finding it's low, and then pumping it up without rechecking to see if you've reached the correct pressure.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

    If you find the time to get back to me I will do you a full custom remap on the dyno to match your mods and needs.  You bring us some hobnobs to keep us happy I will carry out the remap £FOC.   

I didnt like the idea of Celtic jumping the gun and going for there remap sale and charging you for 1 bhp gain when a basic logging session of the boost and boost control duty cycle would have show the map was asking for 280-290bhp.  If that was done by me or any of the R-Tech team I would no be able to sleep at night. 

The more you do the more power you get..lol   A full induction kit with full turbo back exhaust should see you around 310-320bhp 310-320lbft with a much stronger broader mid range over stage 1.

It took a 5 Minute phone call to R tech and it was booked in, I was just STUPID going elsewhere.

Let it be a lesson to anyone else AVOID Celtic tuning, they can't even be bothered to reply to Emails once they find out there is no more money in it for them.
