Remap
ReeceH13:
Brill, thank you all!
Yeah I have heard that Nick knows his stuff! Just want my car to pull like a train :laugh: 4 Hour round trip will be worth it.
Pre cat delete not a bad shout I remember this thread now! Thanks. What MPG increase can I expect?

--- Quote from: ReeceH13 on June 11, 2013, 03:50:18 pm ---My Insurance, Admiral have agreed believe it or not to cover a remap, as long as it is less than a 25% power increase. Will a stage 1 be less than a 25% increase or more does anyone know? Not sure if the insurance take just the BHP or the Torque into account with this magic '25%'?!
Any help appreciated :smiley:

What you get is down to your car's hardware :happy2:
Will be around 25% though (ish).
Probs about 1-2mpg with pre-cat delete. The throttle response is greatly improved
ReeceH13:
Thanks mate, Have left a message for Nick to call me... Is there anything stopping them mapping the car at just under 25% increase do you think..... hmmm... Cos if its over 25% Admiral won't touch it with a barge pole, they aren't mod friendly!
Did you notice a increase with the R-tech on the 0-60?
GrayMK5GTI:
Once you get your before map dyno run you can see what it's making, work out 25% and give Nick a max figure not to exceed. With TIV mapping he has total control of ECU so can do anything with the map :happy2:
It makes a big difference with in-gear as well as through the range acceleration. You will not be disappointed :smiley:
ReeceH13:
Brill thanks for this!
As long as the BHP don't go over 25% (50 BHP) Then Admiral will insure me, for ONLY £110 more (6 months of my policy left too!) So even if the car has lost some horses over the years, I can just get Nick to map it up to 250 BHP, everyone's a winner, :pomppomp:
Can't wait to get this done!
