What's the limit!?
« on: September 13, 2013, 06:04:30 pm »
Been shopping around for a custom remap, rs tuning look promising but iv been offered one for 350 pounds that gives me 70bhp, am I right in thinking that's the kinda dodgey work that blows turbo's up and snaps drive shafts?

The car is as good as standard at the moment

RS mainly do Renaults and Vauxhalls - So they are not a VAG specialist. If your in Yorkshire like me, head down to stattlers in Sheffield.

And yes - 70bhp for a map seems a bit over the top mate. 35-55bhp

They can do Golf R's and now do the dsg for them too.

I know its a different engine, but when i asked if they would remap my MK6 GTI they said they are only doing the 2.0l FSI and the 1.8T. I know if you have the business for them and you have the perfect mapping technique then keep doing it. But the MK6 has been out for 4-5 years now. Surely it time to move on to it and get a grip of it.

So ended up going with Bluefin (which to be fair has been a decent map) Still wish i could have taken to R-Tech   :sad1:
