Ok, called R-Tech who said they arnt really doing the MK6 GTI maps yet as there is still a bit of risk with it.He told me that Shark Performance are the guys to go with at the moment, anyone had a map with them on their MK6 with them.If not, who did you go with...would prefer a company midlands or the north, cheers

Does he mean the same as with ANY remap there is a risk. The only thing I can think is depending on the age of the car it may have a locked ECU and they might not have the ability to unlock it or have the tools to do so. Other than that the risk is no different to any other remap (unless you go to back street bob's chip shop!)If it helps, I have a Octavia vRS with the same 2.0TSi engine in. I have a Revo map on mine after initially trying APR. Revo can map the car no problem. I have had the Revo Map on mine now for about 12-13k miles and no issues at all. Having used Shark in the past I personally wouldn't touch them with a barge pole!!!Carl
No my ECU didn't require removal. I have only heard of one Octy that had a locked ECU and that was a mid 2012 model ( I bought mine new in 2011)I got it done at Revo HQ. I didn't pay full cost due to some issues in the past. I haven't looked for a while but it's normally just shy of £600 with VAT. GTI international is coming up soon and they normally do offers on that.

I guess thats a good thing though as it allows him to become specialised.What it also does is give him a few years to watch what other tuners have done on any new engines/ecu's, learn from their mistakes, and find out the weakness's and what the solutions are.
It makes sense. Better to have a depth of knowledge than a breadth of knowledge.Having had Superchips, shark, APR and jabba maps on my past couple cars I know I wouldnt use Superchips or Shark ever again. Jabba are too far away from me so id discount them, id consider an APR, but in all honesty, id like to see what custom stuff Nick @ R-TECH could do for me.
