Just thinking about an ECU remap

(1/26) > >>

rashg60:
All of my cars have remained completely standard (except pre Corrado G60 days). I always find they are a joy to drive in standard form, money is saved and when it comes to selling on, I find that potential buyers generally prefer a completely standard car to do with as they please and the sale is smooth and straight forward.

However, since joining this Forum, I am reconsidering 10 years of non-modding days with a simplistic Stage 1 remap from R-Tech. The car is currently in standard format: MK5 Golf GTi manual. There is not a single mod on the car and I actually wanted to keep it that way.

But the swaying powers of this forum are becoming too heavy......help!

AJP:
Just do it, enjoy the power, and when you come to sell you can easily get the map flashed back to standard.

If you just stay with a map you shouldn't need to upgrade any hardware so you won't have to faff about unbolting bolt-ons!

Oh, and decide fast, especially if you're going with R-Tech... it seems they have quite a waiting list.

rashg60:
Does anyone know if the remap resets itself back to standard when the battery is disconnected? I've heard that with some remaps this happens. Unsure if it happens with the R-Tech remap.

Has anyone experienced this?

beetie:
Not with the r tech map. Disconnect the battery as much as you like

^thats correct.

Only with Revo does disconnecting the battery upset the map  :happy2:

I had my old GTI flashed back to stock by Niki when I sold it
