To be honest there wasn't much that could be done, I've since changed to revo. My point was that Jim took short cuts, made no effort to hide them and ultimately did a half arsed job. I don't doubt he knows his stuff but I personally wouldn't touch him with a barge pole.

Pdt basically did what Jim should've, ie run vcds take RR readouts and generally assess if the remap has the impact it should do
Candy White Edition 30 DSG
Revo Stage 2+
ITG, BCS TBE, Autotech HPFP
WALK
R32 Brake upgrade
S3 IC upgrade

Yep a tuner should be making sure the cars healthy for the map via RR or vagcom and at least do logging on the road if no dyno,not good to hear about Jim.
Also there are some things which cannot be seen when a maps put on,clutch going south can be an expensive one but generally it'll speed up what is already on the cards imho

That's crap news as star was one of the places I was seriously considering for the RR. PDT is miles away. Dastek it is then.

Does it matter whether a rolling road is 2wd or 4wd or would this only be an issue if your car was 4 wheel drive? Thanks

Do they do much work on GTI's? From what I can see they specialise in BMWs. Have booked in to use the RR in any case.
