Custom "retard" mapping?

[james]

I am 100% sure my r-tech map was limited until the oil was hot.

[AndrewJB]

i think my Leon Cupra R (CDLA Engine) has this as standard


for first 3-4 minutes it wont boost at all even a slight amount and then it wakes up

[R-tech-Nick]

All our high power maps for 1.8t and tfsi limit the power when engine temp/ oil if cold.  Car feels flat as a fart for first 6-7mins of driving from cold.

I've been told you should wait for the oil temp to reach 76 before going over 3000rpm - this normally takes 9-10 minutes as I always do it - is this not correct??
If it isn't, please give me the correct info.
To be honest I don't care whether a valet gives my car full beans as long as the oil temp is up there.
I can't understand how valet mode would work, unless it didn't allow you to rev over the 3K threshold??

I would imagine a reduction in fuel and boost until oil temperature equals a certain value.

That's pretty smart :) A mate took me out in his Clio Sport and pointed out that it does similar...just as we failed to overtake an artic on a dual carriageway

I was told it was load rather than revs that damage a cold engine, so a light throttle and 3000rpm should be fine, WOT up to 3000revs is what does the damage for example

In fact.... Supper-Chips do "Retard" mapping... but Im not sure its on purpose....

314bhp out of a stage 1 ed30 map is hardly retarded 
Reminds me of a big fall out I had with ex mrs years ago had a chaved up brand new Clio 1.2 16v and she took it on the long drag in front of my bedroom window at time hitting limiter in 3rd then dropping it in to 2nd can laugh now lol !!

When I had APR on my car it certainly wasn't limited in anyway shape or form in terms of boost. You could boot it from cold if you wished.

I'm not saying anyone is lying here as i'm sure some geek could do it. But how do you impress a customer, especially when they do trial maps, after his/her car has been flashed. I've never heard anyone say "had my map flashed today and after I had took it on a 10 minute warm up I gave it   and it was mega "

[Markyed30]
