I was wondering if anyone has had theirs remapped in/around Sheffield...
I live in Sheffield and was wanting somewhere quite close to me but also want to make sure that it is "good quality."

I have seen "SLT Remapping and Diagnostics" and they claim to be able to get 130bhp and 215nm of torque (around 158lb/ft) is this realistic?

Hello!

I'm from Sheffield as well and I have the same car haha! I had mine mapped over at Big Fish Tuning, they quoted me 140bhp and after a dyno it was around about that figure. Had a catback exhaust fitted afterwards so may need another map to compensate but I believe you could achieve figures of upto 150bhp with a good custom map.

Where abouts in Sheffield are you from?

A few of my polo incase you see me about, don't forget to wave or flash me!

Love the HDR gloss Gives the white an ethereal effect

I've only ever seen your car parked up mate! (I know exactly where you live ) I sent you a PM about your mapping etc on ClubPolo. How much did big fish tuning cost you because I can't find it one their website?

I actually live just 5 minutes away from you! I won't say the actual name but if you go up the country lane just off the roundabout, turn right, past the pub on the left - it's near the chippy!

Who did your exhaust? I'm yet to find anything decent for the 1.2 tsi

Oh wow haha, didn't realise you lived so close! We have regular meets here at the waverley pub. Should come join us some time , everyones welcome.

My exhaust was custom made at a company in rotherham near parkgate.

Big fish tuning charged me £300 but i had a £50 discount. The map was custom to the car and not one of those plug and play ones. Was road tested afterwards and dyno'd so i could feel and see the difference.


I love HDR's too! Just a shame they dont always go right and half the images you take end up being chucked!

Big fish might be a bit far for me - do you know your new 0-60 times with the map etc? Looking to get my exhaust done too, was it AMJ?

I dont exactly but my brothers bmw 116i 1.6 turbo is 7.1 secs i think 0-60 and he only just pulls away from me so based on that i say it was around the 7.5 sec mark.

Yes i think it was that company! The guys quite good who did my exhaust. If you want a pre made setup then exhaust uk can do cobra exhausts for the 1.2 tsi. I asked them before and they wanted £1200 for a full catback including sportscat and 2.5" all the way back. The system was idential to that off the polo gti!

You're more than welcome to have a look and listen to mine if you want and see if you fancy the same.

£1200!!!! I was thinking more along lines of £300-400. Amazon do one for about £300

Haha yeah its daylight robbery! I could understand for a high performance engine with real gains but not for something that would gain minimal from it.
