R-Tech Highly recommended!
« on: April 12, 2014, 09:13:37 pm »
Took my car down to r-tech this morning for a stage one map, lucky for me it was only a 15 minute drive away but coming away from there today I would of happily drove anywhere in the uk to let these guys re-map my car.

Niki and the lads were really helpful and perform a top service!

My 2005 gti with a ko3 turbo, evoms intake, miltek cat back and a pre-cat delete made 211bhp and 228ft torque

After r-tec worked their magic it came out with 259bhp and 326ft torque (that was with a broken rev d diverter valve will be upgrading to a rev g next week after speaking to Niki about it)

After the car came out of the workshop niki took me out for a  test drive and talked me through the map and how the car will feel and drive.

Then it was my turn to give the car a test drive and wow the car feels so much quicker the power delivery is just so nice and smooth and pulls so well I wasn't expecting to feel as quick as it does now.

I got out of the car with a massive smile on my face definitely the best money I've spent on the car.

Couple of pics

This is supposed to increase fuel economy as well, right?

Saw this on Niki's Facebook  :happy2:

Great results. He said how much difference the VVT mapping makes and you can see it on your graph, particularly in the mid range

You need to change your signature now  :grin:

Fuel economy will be about the same (if driven the same).

Definitely get the pre cat sorted makes a great difference even before getting it mapped  :smiley:
