remaps

Post by 1der »

Thinking of getting my GTI remapped at the new year

Has anyone had a remap from custom code or star performance?

What other companies have people dealt with?

the previous owner had the map done as a custom map by JBS....certainly pulls a lot higher and better than standard

but to be honest my friend does revo and there isnt much point in mapping any cars without a turbo,i would save your £400-£500 for something better

As above, you're never going to get big power out of the GTi. IIRC it's pretty highly tuned as it is.

Save your money for something else 8)

I'll be getting exhaust, manifold and some porting done at least before I get mine remapped.
