has my car been mapped? goes to 7000rpm?
« on: December 27, 2013, 11:39:10 pm »
may be a silly question BUT my rev counter shows the redline to be 6500rpm but mine goes to 7000rpm before hitting the limit?

i know from being an 18 year old (13 years ago!!!) driving chavtastic cars that the redline was increased slightly to get a little more power when mapping but is that the case with the ed30 golf?

i hope it hasn't got a stage one as i deff need more power  :mad:

Na it won't be mapped mate. I thought the same as Im young (22) and thought it was too quick for 230 bhp. But realised when I had her mapped that it's another car basically  :happy2:
