Precautions to take when once Re-mapped?
TomB:
Keith, have you uprated your pads and discs?
I've found my OE 312s absolutely awful, and my GTI's about 50bhp down.
I once missed a turning at 40 as the brakes just faded and felt like they weren't working. I used to have 4 pots, but I started braking much earlier!

I won't be running anything more than a Revo stage 2 (the 255ps map) and an ITG panel filter.
The rest of the car will be performance standard with Monza II reps.
What disc/pads would be a good upgrade with that power in mind?
Thanks.

Go for the AP kit much lighter and much more powerul than the 312's- A bigger real world performance mod than 40 hp!

....
Since being remapped I oil change every 10k miles and new plugs and air filter clean every 20k miles. Otherwise I follow the VW recommended regime.
Enjoy!
