Right here we go. Never really wrote a review so bear with me. So I finally seen sense and went along to R-tech with a friend who was having a software tweak. I met Niki, Ben and Marcus and can honestly say you could not meet nicer bunch of guys. After Niki returned from a little ride in my friend’s car to confirm drive ability was spot, we got chatting about my car and where I was with it. (For anyone that wants to know full golf R engine and full awd running gear autotec fuel pump, revo intake, TTRS low pressure fuel pump and BCS power valve exhaust) After a good chat about all the hardware myself and Niki went for a quick spin around the block, and we both agreed the car was lacking the fun factor and could be improved no end. We got back to R-tech HQ and Niki runs a quick fault check and finds there are no hardware issues, and then even though they are mental busy he said I could leave the car with him for a week or two and he will have a play.
So two weeks later and a few messages with issues that needed sorting, I came to collect my car. Oh my god the car is a totally different beast power delivery coupled with the awd is just epic. Also Niki added a few awesome extras into my software a Hard cut rev limiter that sounds phenomenal I now find myself constantly aiming for the hard cut limiter. And also launch control that holds the car at 5.5k and then dump the clutch and all four wheels just hook up and fire you off into the distance. I find myself constantly driving the long way to my destination just to have a little play.
To sum things up I could not of chosen a more professional and friendly place to take my car. All the hard work for the engine and awd conversion are definitely worth it now. I cannot thank Niki and the team enough. If you’re thinking about any stage of software R-tech is the place to go. You will not be disappointed. The Drive home no matter how near or far you will not stop grinning.
