Just thinking about an ECU remap
rashg60:
Have you already upgraded your DV/PCV?
Like I say, mine were fine when the map was done - they just went doolally post-map.
What other mods you got to compliment the map?
Good luck with your map tomorrow - you'll defo enjoy it :smiley:

Yes I had a new Rev G, PCV and cam follower a few weeks ago. I always had a remap in mind since I bought it in April, and it didn't quite feel like 200bhp should anyway, so it needed doing.
The Rev C DV that came out was indeed split, and full power was restored! It's been running spot on since.
The car will be a true Stage 1 - everything is stock. I have run it exclusively on V Power so it should map to its potential on standard hardware.
I may go for an uprated downpipe, cat, inlet etc if I want to go Stage 2 in the future, but certainly not before I uprate the brakes. They're a bit weak even for standard power after a few big corners. I'll probably go for TTRS calipers and 340mm discs.
Quite looking forward to tomorrow's events!

We are in similar circumstances AJP: I bought my car in March this year and have only upgraded the air filter to a panel K&N and have only ever used Shell V-Power. With the Stage 1 map that's all this car needs. The stage 1 brings this car up to it's true potential without any further mods.
I think anything beyond a Stage 1 you need to start spending serious money, i.e. brakes, clutch, suspension, tyres, exhaust etc. For that sort of money I'd rather purchase a newer Golf.
Let us know how tomorrow pans out. Where are you travelling from to R-Tech? Either way, your journey there will be much much different from your return journey home.......
AJP:
Heading down the M1 in half an hour. I'm near Sheffield so I'm giving myself plenty of time to crawl through the never-ending 50mph cameras..!
Yeah, power-wise, we'll see. If I get to the point where I'm wanting more and more I think I'll look for a mk6 R or S3, rather than turn everything up to 11 on the mk5.
Will update later. Cheers!

242bhp and 296lb/ft
Happy with that! Really smooth power delivery and the torque makes it effortless. Great work by R-Tech again
