Bert's GT Sport TSI 140 - Stage 1 Revo :)
bluebert92:
I'm planning on getting my 1.4 TSI Twincharger mapped this year and Ideally would like to book it in ASAP however I'm at a loss as to which company to go for?
I've heard amazing reviews regarding R-Tech and usually that would be my go to tuner. It does however seem that R-Tech don't work on the on the MK5 TSI 140, unless there is a typing error on their information sheets (http://www.r-techpower.co.uk/r-tech-vw-remap.htm) ? I have contacted them regarding this and I am awaiting a reply as preferably R-Tech is the place I would choose but just in case are their other companies that would be recommended?
The ones I have in mind for a backup are;
* REVO Stage 1 185bhp
* Shark - 180bhp
* APR - 180bhp
* Superchips 180bhp
It seems as if they all offer a similiar power output and torque range but as a first time modder i'm unaware of the reputations each company may have?
The ideal scenario is that R-tech respond that they do infact work on my car and all is well!

Next issue being that i'm struggling to find an Intake system that seems to fit my car? although they claim to fit none of them account for this particular pipe? I just want to know is it needed?
This pipe connects to my original air box so I would assume its needed?
And in other news i've bought some brand new rear drop links as my offside one is knocking a tad
Shoduchi:
Revo is good with those engines. I'm not sure if you'll gain a lot with an intake...

Lovely looking Golf you have. Excellent choice in mods!
rex:
From the pictures above you seem to have a K&N 57s-9500 Cold Air Intake. If this is the case, this CAI is only bolt on only for the single charge engine.
That pipe si connected to the CAI as seen in the photos below.
I would definetly go with REVO for your engine but then I am a bit subjective because I am very happy with their products and customer care.
The K&N 57s-9500 Cold Air Intake will do very little for performance but the sound is awesome. With the lid off it sounds like a 300+ car :). And the intake noise is quite interesting.
Hope this helps!

R-Tech have point blank not bothered getting back to me so I assume REVO it is :), Nearest is only 20miles from me also :D
That is incredibly helpful mate! - I Have sent the K&N back now as the seller offered a full refund as he falsely advertised it to fit the twin charger model so thats a bonus and instead I have gone for a one of these :D
