^^ 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:

Open intake is better top end (maybe +15bhp) but will lose a little low down power.

The pre-cat is on the down pipe. It's better to get a turbo back exhaust, but it's all down to budget  :happy2:

Not sure if im being dumb then, but dont most people pick up a Down pipe with a 100 or 200 cell cat on it? so you guys are saying get a straight downpipe?  :stupid:

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



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.

See here: http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,52207.0.html



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.

heres a typical map on a gti with 95ron:




and with decent fuel:

Located in Sunderland, seeing as we discount to £299 for forum members already, we cant discount this any further as we already include of of the dyno time and datalogging with no extra charge.

Bring a pack of buscuits (nice ones, no digestives or boring stuff) and we will see what we can do on the cost of the precat removal ;)

Everyone seems to rave about you, so it looks like ill be taking a trip to see you soon. Just gonna try pick up a half decent CAI first. What is a standard price for a Pre-Cat removal?

Precat removal is £60.

Dom: just pop in mate, if dyno is free then I can do you a quick dyno test.

If a place aint discussed on here, then its probably not going to be great.

If I were you, i wouldnt be trusting my pride & joy with some back street "tuner" - its worth travelling to get a decent remap.

Although statllers is in Yorkshire (sheffield) , i'm sure Stevo is either a Revo or an APR dealer.  :happy2:

Yep, my ex still has the PDT map on her (our old) car, and I prefer it to my REVO map. And it's half the price!! I only have Revo now because of an ECU issue. I drove hers again the other day, and I'm well jeal!!
