Best place for a remap?
« on: March 10, 2014, 08:20:15 pm »
I want to get a stage one remap but there's too many places to choose from I live in Gloucester but I don't want to drive to far! Also what mods do you recommend for stage one and what kinda gains should I get from it thanks :)

Welcome along!  :drinking:

A stage 1 map will require nothing to be done to your car beforehand. Really all you'll need to check is the usual precautionary items. Make sure your Diverter Valve is a nice new Recision G one,  check your PCV is ok, Coilpacks are the latter recalled ones and run it on 99RON.

What car do you have? If you have a standard GTI then expect to see around 50 bhp and 80 ft lb torque from a generic map and similar gains from a K04 Turbo'd Edition30/Pirelli.  As for a map, go for the best and not the nearest IMO. As a R-Tech fanboy I'm going to say them but you can't argue with REVO or APR.

Happy modding!

Revo do a fair job for a generic map..as do Apr... Either of these will transform your car...myself I prefer the custom wrote map I have on mine from r tech.....twice the service and a whole lot cheaper...
