What remap would you recommend? Mk5 gti DSG
Madone:
I ran logs on my Rtech map and it was running too much timing for my liking (it was a 3deg day and pulling 6.5deg), the Revo map never pulled more than 4 or any day. So not sure what would happen on a hot day. Anyway....
I don't have a issue with Rtech or their maps, they are good, but it's the attitude that only Rtech can map the car, everyone else's maps are rubbish, what Rtech do is magic etc etc haha :laugh: which I don't get. Even Nick from Rtech himself says other maps are good but different. I remember the day I joined the forum I asked a question about another map and got told they are crap, go to Rtech ! :jumpmove:
The Rtech map on my car felt more like a Vtech, it pulled hard at the top end but not as punchy down low. I prefer to ride the torque and have the car feel fast in every day use, rather than revving the car more. The Rtech felt fast but only when driving fast, it didn't feel as fast as the Revo when driving normally. Which lets face it, is how we drive 90% of the time.

I don't think anyone is saying other maps are rubbish. . . Apart from Supperchips :laugh:
If you ask for a more aggressive map, Niki would give you just that. Referring to my earlier post "don't ask, don't get". :happy2:
I remember a guy on here was moaning about the fact that his map wasn't as punchy as he wanted, and Niki told him to bring it back and he sorted it for free. Normally he doesn't let you leave unless you are completely satisfied :smiley:

Haha, it was Superchips too ! :jumpmove: :jumpmove:

The misfires I had were during the summer. They cleared up once I'd fitted the refurbed injectors, which if memory serves me correctly... coincided with much cooler weather. Hmmmm.
rtechniki:
I tend to remove the placebo from the drivers request to allow more of a throttle range to the full load power. Basically line using a sprint booster and having it on lower settings. But then people rave on about spring boosters for the effect they give, they give no more power just 40% load demands at 20% input.
As for knock the timing maps are setup around air temp winter comes and they add more timing summer and 30deg+ ait and the timing is remove and compensated with additional boost. As for the knock reading it's where and when it happens and the routine to remove and add. The 020 readings are routine steps showing the ecu removing .75deg timing to keep the knock sensors happy, this is greatly effected by carbon build up and in the case above poor homogeneous mixture in the cylinders from failing injectors, clean inlet and injectors and the timing is greatly increased to where it should be the the knock routine is close to 0cf. The idea is to run optimised timing to MBT, go log any stock tfsi and report back. The worry is knock is put out there by tuners and has been for many years. Tuners want best power but don't want people moaning about the 020 readings, so what do they do? They try to make things look better to avoid the panic attacks during logging, so they add a greater filter to the readings on blocks 020 to stop all the panic email and support phone calls. Something i never signed upto because i want to actually see whats going on in real time during a logging session. If the timing is kept under control a car could run a flat 10cf and be as safe as a car running 0cf.. but in the industry is a scare tatic. Once the timing climbs and climbing to the point its pinking then that's that fatal part. A tfsi will pink and see 11cf+ at spike points in the peak torque band. This is linked to poor fuel too much timing advance.
