Who shall I choose to remap my GTI?

Who shall I choose to remap my GTI?

Currently looking at AmD suggesting +60 bhp and +78 lbs/ft with stage 1

Can anyone share recommendations/experience.

Where are you located mate??if yr near Leicester then I strongly recommend r-tech...if yr up north then go to Stattlers as they are GIAC & revo dealers...

[ThomWalker]

Im right down on the South coast, close to Brighton

Location should not really matter when it comes to mapping your car - People's urge to stay local for services can be really daft sometimes (just talking in general here!) Surely it's worth the trip for a higher quality of work.

Rtech are the best in the country for the 2.0 TFSIs in these engines. Their TIV mapping is a night and day difference on the road with huge midrange vs conventional maps from dyno charts posted by Niki on FB.

Even with the cost of fuel (it's only like 220 miles from Brighton to R-tech, less than that I think) it would be cheaper to drive to R-tech and pay £300, rather than pay £400+ for a Revo map which is not as good.
Before you take your car for mapping fit new high quality spark plugs and run through a tank of 99 (and keep running on the higher octane stuff from that point onwards).
Also check your boost pipes for any obvious leaks and buy a new revision G diverter valve and take it with you at the very least , if not fit it before going.

You will end up a very happy chappy and Niki is the kind of guy who will always offer help and advice.

^^^^ This

Rtech. I'm in Sussex and am off their next week for some TIV magic on the old girl.

As above, check/change your DV, PCV, Cam follower. They'll give your car a full health check beforehand anyway (all good tuners will do this). If you really want a more local tuner then contact the nice peeps at JKM Performance about a REVO map, they're in Potsmouth.

Cheers for the advice.

What sort of power gain could I expect with an R-tech map?

[ThomWalker]

Also what hardware is recommended for stage 2, does anyone know what power gains come with this?

For a Stage 2 map, i think you'd be looking at a full TBE and intake.

can i get better/cheaper exhausts systems than Milltek?

[MC71]

Rtech recommend an intercooler for Stage 2.

Get a decent TBE and CAI, either Milltek or BCS for the TBE and look at REVO, ITG/APR/VWR or EVOMS for the CAI.

Why do people insist on stating a full TBE is required for stage 2!!!!

The only requirement is a downpipe c/w sports cat or decat!!! 

[xjay1337]

Might as well aye?

Figures i saw were 267bhp and 324ftlbs from a stage one done at R-tech. Modifications that saw them figures were Neuspeed intake, 5w40 CFS Millers Nanodrive Technology NT 5L Engine Oil , rev G diverter valve, Helix clutch and flywheel and some lovely VPOWER  drives like a different car! 

btw my car ran 193bhp and 222ftlbs prior to the map (with the intake). 74bhp and 102ftlbs increase.

Check the ultimate dyno graph tread to see my 267bhp run graph.

Rtec for the win I'm going there withing two weeks 

[nicky]

Do Rtec do custom mapping?

What bhp/torque are people getting with stage2+ with Rtec.

Cheers
