Stage 1 Ed30 - Which Remap?
wigit:
been runing stage 1 on the GTI Pirelli for over 20,000 miles and love it, was wary of mapping it as thought it would spoilt the enjoyment but quite the reverse, i like the flexibility of the select+ given how quick you can change settings, that said its worth noting its not a factory stock map its revos version
that said the forum member who i flogged my bluefin handset too (off my rocco) is equally happy with bluefin once he got the correct dsg map sent through
comes down to choice, cash and how you like your power/torque delivered
the GTI may go Stage 2 but in reality more than happy with it at Stage 1 as its a fast and comfortable everyday car and cruiser and just eat miles

If I only really plan to stick at Stage 1, what would you suggest? I'd be aiming for as close to 300bhp as possible but I've read previous reports of the Bluefin not reaching claimed figures (does anyone have dyno graphs of Stage 1 remaps of a Bluefin and/or Revo map?). I also notice their website states they're now using the same maps for the manual and DSG versions!?
I was quoted £600 inc VAT for a Revo map at AMD Essex with before and after rolling road runs but a Bluefin would only be about £410 inc a 10% forum discount, however I'd happily pay more for the Revo if I knew I was getting a much better product.
What would you suggest? :smiley:

Dont chase the figure, you want proven dyno's showing progressive power and a smooth torque curve, Anyone can hit high numbers but you want those numbers while keeping the engine safe!

Theres a bluefin for sale on the for sale section. I paid £300 to gazb for mine and the difference is amazing just for a bit of a remap. I would say what one you choose would depend on what else you intend to do to the car....exhaust hpfp intake etc. Try the secondhand bluefin first , you don't need any more more for raod use. Come and have a run in mine to see the difference , i'm in Ipswich

I am very interested in driveability and response more than power.
I have driven one car that was clearly very powerful and responsive at speed, say driving at 60mph on the motorway and flooring the throttle. But driving around there was a lot of lag and I didn't like the car for this. It reminded me why I moved away from Turbo's years ago, there was sufficient lag and obvious spool up of power between gears etc.
Is this normal, I don't know the map that was in the car. I have no doubt the stage 1 map was powerful, but only added to the experience for me on the motorway. The other mods were DV and rear box (miltek)
Any comments guys ?

Something does not add up here... The car even at stage 1 has a a huge difference from stock with absolutely no lag... Something must have been wrong with the car you are reffering to... :wink:
