Stage 1 Remap Who to go with Aggghhh!!!
« on: February 02, 2012, 08:15:22 pm »
I'm sure its been covered before but seeing as remaps are flavour of the month....

What are your recommendations for a stage 1 remap on a standard mkV gti?? So many options  :scared:- REVO, R tech and shark seem popular. What do you reckon

I haven't heard anyone mention custom code, anyone had any experience with them??

All thoughts welcome

ta Graeme

Jabbasport in peterborough are always a good option, VAG specialists so no nasty fords or renaults there at the same time as our precious VAG's  :happy2:

They re-mapped my MKIV and my Ed30 is going to them in May (just after Cambelt service is due) for stage 1.

P-Torque then in Wombourne

They did my Edition 30 and never had an issue with it.  I've done 14k in 10 months and it's been faultless.  No clutch issues either

Had good experience with Motech in Northampton. Would definitely recommend them. Great price compared to AMD and Revo for what is basically the same thing.

Ring and talk to Mike. Very knowledgeable and helpful even trying to sort out a problem with my car that ended up to be nothing to do with the remap.

Hi mate im going next week to a place called "team rpm"
its in redditch near birmingham

Was talking to blueflame exhaust and told me they have started remapping
and tuning of cars from this location so he cut me a sweet deal
full turbo cat with 100cell highflow cat and remap for £800 couldnt say no

power gains at the wheel should be 240bhp  just with stage 1 remap, which he will dyno
it for me to prove it.

and with turbo back maybe extra 10-12bhp
