**Edit - my problem is solved** - this thread then helped PDT and Marshall sort out his problem  when had his GTD mapped

Ok, called R-Tech who said they arnt really doing the MK6 GTI maps yet as there is still a bit of risk with it.

He told me that Shark Performance are the guys to go with at the moment, anyone had a map with them on their MK6 with them.

If not, who did you go with...would prefer a company midlands or the north, cheers

What risk? Does he mean the same as with ANY remap there is a risk.  

The only thing I can think is depending on the age of the car it may have a locked ECU and they might not have the ability to unlock it or have the tools to do so. Other than that the risk is no different to any other remap (unless you go to back street bob's chip shop!)

If it helps, I have a Octavia vRS with the same 2.0TSi engine in. I have a Revo map on mine after initially trying APR. Revo can map the car no problem. I have had the Revo Map on mine now for about 12-13k miles and no issues at all.

Having used Shark in the past I personally wouldn't touch them with a barge pole!!!

Think he meant because he may have to remove the ECU, plus he is still stacked with the FTSI 2.0l & 1.8l

Yeah i have heard some bad stuff about Shark too. But no idea who else up north can apply a REVO map, where did you get your done, di d they take out ECU and how much did it cost?

Thanks

The racing line in Halifax are revo dealers. Matt (owner) is a mapping whizz having spent many years offering ecutek maps for jap cars. He also has a dyno dynamics rolling road for diagnostic purposes.

No my ECU didn't require removal. I have only heard of one Octy that had a locked ECU and that was a mid 2012 model ( I bought mine new in 2011)

I got it done at Revo HQ. I didn't pay full cost due to some issues in the past. I haven't looked for a while but it's normally just shy of £600 with VAT. GTI international is coming up soon and they normally do offers on that.

I personally would just go with Revo. If you email/ring them or go on to the locate a dealer function in their website you may find someone close to you if you're not wanting to travel to far.

Where are you stationed mate as folk can then help you out with local revo dealers.

I have a p-torque map on mine and mine is the same as Carls. Performance Torque are in Wolverhampton. I can highly recommend as Will has done several of my cars

We have been tuning the TSi for 4 years now, if you need any help/advice give us a call.

Here is our stage 1 map (graph shows 95/98 Ron fuel and stock curve)

He doesnt seem interested in remapping anything other than the 1.8T and 2.0TFSI at the moment.  i approached him abck along about my 1.4TSI and he wasnt interested as he likes to concentrate the 2.0TFSI.  I guess thats a good thing though as it allows him to become specialised.

What it also does is give him a few years to watch what other tuners have done on any new engines/ecu's, learn from their mistakes, and find out the weakness's and what the solutions are.

Exactly right 

He's not looking to go into the TSi market yet, as has been said, he has enough 1.8t and 2.0tfsi to last him years.

It makes sense.  Better to have a depth of knowledge than a breadth of knowledge.

Having had Superchips, shark, APR and jabba maps on my past couple cars I know I wouldnt use Superchips or Shark ever again.  Jabba are too far away from me so id discount them, id consider an APR, but in all honesty, id like to see what custom stuff Nick @ R-TECH could do for me.
