What remap would you recommend? Mk5 gti DSG
« on: December 29, 2016, 09:29:14 am »
Hi all,

I'm looking to get a stage 1 remap for my mk5 gti, and with quite a few out there I'm struggling to decided which one to go for.

Does anyone have any recommendations/advice on which one is best?

Thanks!

Depends where you live.

Custom R-Tech will probably come out as most recommended.

Nice mate, made pretty much same as my mk6 gti 261bhp 300ft lb.
One of the best mods for the cars.
Start saving for stage 2 now.

Get a Revo free trial then try someone's with a custom map.   Peak numbers mean nothing in the real world, but it's what everyone chases.  How it drives is far more important (imo) and Revo definitely delivers there.  Custom maps tamper with the off boost drivability too much.  They market it as "Linear" but it's just flat as a fart until the boost kicks in, in my language.
