GTI-Ross:
**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. :grin:
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!!!
Carl :happy2:

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.
vRS Carl:
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. :happy2:
