Just remove them completely and have them mapped out. Lots of places sell the RFD kit.

It has happened on here before.

Would the car still start from cold with an RFD and not being mapped out?

Yes will still start lumpy idle and stutters if you try to fully boost.

All, its been a while but here is a little update. Firstly onto the shiny stuff:

Big Brake conversion

After Rtech mapped the edition 30 Stage 2+ one of the health check notes was the standard Edition 30 brake setup. These were original running old pads & discs so faded very fast at Stage 2+ speeds.  :grin:

So after some researched i sourced the below items to improve the braking of my 380bhp GTI:

All work completed by the wizard @ Diverse Rides.  :happy2:

18z Brembo Calipers
350mm Brembo discs
Brembo pads
Hel Braided front & rear Lines
Rear R32 calipers
310mm Brembo discs
Rear Pagid pads
Rear connecting pipes
Dot 5 Pagid brake fluid

Before









After















Have now bedded in the brakes and they feel nice and strong, full respect to Ian Tamkin for his thought process & logical brain to get these fitted behind the stock Edition 30 wheels. He had to use the 16mm spacers on the front which are soon to be replaced with 15mm which will make the wheel sit perfect within the wheel arch and the 16mm will then be fitted to the rear.

Thanks Diverse Rides  :congrats: :driver:
