When you add up the advertised power gains that manufacturers claim their products make, plus a remap;

Remap 40bhp
Exhaust 10bhp
Panel filter 3bhp
Original power 197bhp

Its why I say with a stage 1 package expect 250bhp. Don't think I'm being unrealistic, and did see someone recently on here who put the AmD figures to the test and got a good, close (but not matching) set of figures. But I can't defend my claims as I have no evidence so happy to accept the consensus.

For now...

With those mods you may get high 240's, may be even 250bhp. . . But 265bhp (as the OP is expecting) requires an intake or a Downpipe and sports cat  

With Stage 1 R-Tech, pre-cat delete and panel filter I got 248bhp at R-tech and 241bhp at JKM. Typically all stage 1 cars either stock or with the panel filter / pre-cat get around 240-250bhp. Without aiding the flow or air either into or out of the engine,  that's about all that is safely possible from these. . .

Would be helpful if Niki was around to explain this

R tech bloody r tech that's all u hear !!
What's to say there rollers don't add extra bhp and torque figures?????

They are compared against 3 other dyno's on the estate regularly and figures checked against the MAF reading calculation for BHP.

Niki is adamant that his dyno is very accurate.

As my comment said, MAX possible is 250bhp but as we all know, those figures from manufacturers have to be taken with a pinch of salt. Regardless, the increase in power after my remap was amazing.

[Tazgti5]

Totally agree   

[garrardrj]

I got 300bhp and just changed the air filter

Agree to all of that 

[th3_f15t]

However, until I have proof, I'm still claiming 265bhp.

I am prepared to admit my wrongs if its proven to be nearer 250bhp though.

Back to the OP post, have you considered Revo maps? If you're running no mods then they may be better and cheaper, plus the SPS feature is really cool.

[GrayMK5GTI]

The SPS switch is a MUST if you go Revo IMHO

Oooh dear don't dare question R-Tech,this place is fanboy central for them

Just like UKiv and golfgti forums , when people go to R-Tech they come back pleased as punch after getting a great map, great banter, an explanation as to what has been done and an issues highlighted all for a lot less than the mainstream tuners. . .

I guess that's why they always get so much praise and many recommendations 

[Tazgti5]

I've not had any problems with amd very happy with the service the provided,
Car runs fine, does more mpg as he said
Of course they added a few extra horses on the print out but hey mans got to pay bills too

[bigeyd]

Right on cue 

[th3_f15t]

A custom remap from any experienced garage will always be better than "off the shelf" types, but only see a real benefit when other mods are applied as the map written can be tweaked to account for individual variations in air flow, fueling and engine condition.

But the Revo maps are tried and tested, with the SPS allowing for running stock, performance and security modes is seriously good value when you consider how cheap the thing is.

[Matthewsimone]

Pardon my stupidity but whats SPS?
Whats the going rate for revo stage 1 out of interest and why they better suited to otherwise standard motors?
