Best Remap In West Yorkshire? Please Help !!!
« on: November 09, 2012, 07:16:07 pm »
Hi guys,

Looking to get my GTI remapped, Stage 1 or 2 (MK5 DSG). Does anyone one know a good place in west Yorkshire, Bradford or Leeds would be good.

I have been looking at FR Tuning and Awesome GTI. and also i think a sh*t company called Remap science, maps for £150, so they cant be very good.

Awesome GTI look really good, but prices are a little high. Anyone know about FR Tuning?

Any help would be great, thanks

My mate had his Peugeot done at remap science. Don't go there  :grin:

They couldn't flash a map back on his car, leaving it useless. Stuck there all day with no one telling us what was going on. Very very bad place. . . It's not even a proper custom map  :surprised:

I'd recommend a trip down the M1 to R-Tech in Leicestershire. Your best travelling a bit to get a quality remap matey  :happy2:

Had a remap on a 206 HDi at RS Tuning in 2007, it was on the car five years without a change of clutch/gearbox/turbo and was an excellent map. Think they specialise in French cars though?
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)

Its over 2 hours away, and with the price of petrol nower dayz... :surprised:

Just was hoping there is a half decent one further up north.  RS Tuning and Awesome GTI in Leeds look very good, and also FR Tuning in Bradford. Anyone had a map done at these places.

Thanks

There's also Big Fish Tuning in North Yorks.

Awesome GTI will sell you an APR (or is it Revo now?) map, which will cost you more than the extra petrol to R-Tech  :wink:

Also, they aren't really "tuners" so will follow a list of instructions on how to "upload a map" and that's it. . . No proper data logging etc. If you want the best for your car then take it to a reputable tuner. PDT is another tuner well spoken of on the forum but he is even further north.

Thanks for the mention. We charge £349 (£50 discount to forum members so £299) which includes all diagnostics, mapping, datalogging and dyno tuning. We typically spend 3-4 hours on most TFSi engines. We also now reccomend a precat removal (£50) which really does help even at stg1.

Hi mate, what kind of BHP increase do you usually see? Do you see better results with certain intakes or certain exhaust systems? Any info would be great. And also, where are you located.

^^ a panel filter (£35ish) from K&N or Pipercross combined with the pre-cat removed from the exhaust will give you about 245ish bhp with a stage one remap. Maybe more

Ignore the Revo & Superchips claims of 260bhp, it NEVER happens. All tuners will get you about the same BHP, but it's the way it drives, not peak figures  :happy2:

So you dont recommend getting a closed/ open  intake? Also not sure on these GTI's as i have just got it. Is the pre-cat before or after the DP? an would i not just be best getting either a Turbo back system (if i can afford it) or a cat back system (can afford it :)

Thanks guys :party:
