Great Mods BCS  and 3.5 dp good combo
TTRS  brakes means it will stop well
revo the best intake
Peron also one of the best intercollers but all these must have cost a hell of alot of ££££££
let us know what it makes next week at Rtech

I basically had a budget to buy a car and it was a toss up between a 6R or buy a GTI and spend the difference on mods.
The GTI does everything I want as a family bus so will be staying for a while. This time I had a plan of what I want the car to be and have spoken to a few people about which mods are best. So I've just got on with it and given up on the idea of just going stage 1 as that was never going to happen! Doing it this way will get it done early on in my ownership and I won't get bored half way through the mods and give up. Plus bolt on mods are easy to remove and sell if I do get bored.
I'll post the results up of the trip to R Tech when I have them

[ReDBull]

R Tech tomorrow  . I can't wait to see what it's like when Niki works his magic on it  . As you can tell I'm a little excited 

[AJP]

It'll be 'quite nippy'...

You've done some good mods. Should be a very nice result!

[Paradox1]

So....... Spill the beans then.

How did you get on?

[ReDBull]

So yesterday didn't quite go to plan! It looks like in the past my car has had some form of APR/REVO map on it. Niki fought it was likely a demo map. Unfortunately that meant that Niki was locked out of the ECU and unable to upload his map. He's worked out how to get around the issue but it meant that I had to leave my car with him and go home in a loaner.
So hopefully I should have it back and fully mapped today. I also had a chat about K04's and K04 hybrids......

Brain surgery in progress!!!

[Paradox1]

These things happen someitmes. Im 70% sure my car has a map on it so was thinking of getting dynoed to find out.

Im going k04 at the moment. what did niki say about mapping them as I have the same engine as you.

I bet you cant wait for that phone call to pick her up

The age our cars are at most will have some sort of history. So much for the one lady owner history!!!!
He said he's done a couple and they respond well. He's got 3 more booked in including a hybrid. Apparently the injectors are the limiting factor as they max out around 380bhp. Also that with his linear maps wheel spin isn't as big an issue as you'd think.
He's managed to recover the ECU and put a standard a standard map back on. This morning Niki's looking into some issues I've had with the DSG. Then hopefully he'll have time to look into the engine map. I don't need the my car back until mid next week and I've told Niki no rush.

Here's the graph

I'm over the moon with how it drives. Niki has sorted out the issues I've had with the DSG. He also spent time intergrateing the DSG with the throttle. The throttle response is nice and linear and given the hike in power and torque. Traction is much the same as with the standard map. For tiny little turbo it certainly shifts now!!!
The service I have experience from the R Tech team is spot on. I couldn't or wouldn't expect any more from them. And I'm a bloody fussy bugger with who works on my car. That also goes for Alex at AKS as well

[ReDBull]

The kids had a great time as well!!!

[AJP]

Nice graph! Every mk6 I've seen done at R-Tech builds torque later than a k03 mk5, but seems to hold it better at the same time. Enjoy.

Thanks matey I will. The power graph is only part of the picture. The DSG map and how the two work together are something else. The maps are so much smoother than the standard maps
It's going to be a difficult decision on which car to take for a drive tomorrow   

[NikerGTI]

yes mate, glad you finally got it mapped! I bet the drive home was class haha!

[ReDBull]

It certainly was. I had a good drive again today and the map is a work of art. It drives so much better in traffic and then when you get out of town and the road opens up  . It just works SO well. I was worried that I'd struggle with wheel spin and understeer but not in the slightest.
It's a very polished well rounded package give I'm still on the standard suspension. I have to say that the brakes scary me at times with how much power they have. They're one mod that poeple should put high up there list!!!
