I said to myself that i would be happy with anything over 250bhp and 300lbft torque, so when i was handed this i had a large smile on my face...:)
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fv603%2FGreenman%2Frtech_map.jpg&hash=f1833ec3475936a47ee01fde74e78d0204ec302e)
268bhp and 334ftlb torque.
Custom stage 1 with only panel filter, cat back and pre-cat delete.
Just look at the difference from the bluefin curve to the r-tech curve.
Pulls like a train in all gears and the power is so much more usable. Thanks R-TECH.
I hope the guy in the scirocco that was meant to be at r-tec finds his way back ok. How do you make it all the way up to leiscester when your meant to be in london before realising your in the wrong place!
I have a bluefin for sale if anyone is after one...:)

Nice figures you have there. I'm thinking of going stage 1 and will be doing a pre cat delete and panel filter first. How much was it buddy if you don't mind me asking? :happy2:
It was £290 for the custom stage 1 map itself, but i had the Rev G DV supplied and fitted also so all in it was £335.
It is well worth it. Well happy with how the car drives now.
I would not hesitate a second to book in with them, can't fault them at all, and there is a even a food van you can get bacon and egg baps from just 30 seconds away...:)

Immense figures. And yet again I see a panel filter in play.. @rashg60
What filter are you using Greenman?

That's awesome for a stage 1 :congrats: you must be loving it love time
Hell yes.
I already had a bluefin fitted so wasn't expecting that much of change, but i really feel that it is complete transformed beast now.
Must of overtaken about 10 cars on the way back...:)

Just how do they do it?!
Immense figures. And yet again I see a panel filter in play.. @rashg60
What filter are you using Greenman?
It's a carbonio.
I'm not sure if it's just the carbonio housing with another panel filter in it. I bought the car with it on and have not had a chance to take a look.

Did R-Tech say it helped at all?Just how do they do it?!

I know most people say they do nothing, but I keep seeing people getting great results at R-Tech with uprated panel filters (and decat/sports cat/gutted pre cat, granted).
I'm Stage 1 R-Tech, totally stock hardware and my torque very briefly peaks at 296lbft, but you've got well over 300 for a good chunk of the power band.
I will be getting a Powervalve turbo back soon to go Stage 2 but I can't help thinking an uprated panel filter might help things along nicely too!

You've got to at least do uprated panel filter mate if not induction kit as the car will need to breath as well as ex-spell it's gases.
They didn't say anything about the car setup. TBH they were really busy and i only had a quick chat.
I was all happy with the way the car drives so what more was there to say...:)
Do you know how much boost the stage 1 map should hold? - that's one thing i wanted to ask them but didn't.

When you say custom map, can you define what they did to custom it please?.
I know you have the exhaust but what did they actually do?.

Custom just means that they map the car according to the mods it has, rather than bolt on a map for 1 size fits all, like the bluefin and some other maps. The stage 1 map can probably just be bolted on to any car but if not setup on RR then the power might differ.
If you setup the car on the RR with it's current mods they can get a better 'custom' map.
That's the way i understand it. R-TECH just done their thing and hey presto.
It's all to do with how your car responds to the mods and how good all the tolerances are within the engine i suppose.
Email R-TECH and ask any questions before going up/down/along there...:)

If and when I decode it's time to take a trip down there I'll be making sure the exhaust system is replaced as this gets you a lot of power out. I've read that generic maps get you around 30bhp tops not sure if it was r techs site but wasn't impressed reading that at all lol
Now I read you're post I'll be happy to slap on an exhaust and panel filter and then go for mapping :happy2:

If you go full turbo back you should look into getting an uprated fuel pump as well, with that and the other mods you mention you will see over 280bhp as long as your engine temps are ok.
If you just go cat back like me make sure you knock the pre-cat out as i think that is what has gained me the extra power tbh.

I'd definitely go turbo back as the pre cat holds back the gases and prevents free flow which then reduces the bhp as I had a turbo back on the tt and it flew :jumping: would have gone further into modding it but the little R5 came along and had to sell up. :sad1:
Never mind as I hear these golf's can perform and give better number with less ££££ :drool:

Just to add to that - the R-Tech Stage 1 is indeed just as custom - even though on paper standard car A should respond the same as standard car B, the car still gets the same live mapping on the rollers as a car with hardware changes would, as in practice not all standard cars respond the same.
That's one of the many things that set R-Tech apart from generic Stage 1 maps. You know you're getting the best bespoke map for your hardware whether it's stock or not.

Mate if your getting FMIC and turbo back you will need an after market HPFP as otherwise that will limit your power.I know but by how much as I can't seem to want to fork out £400 ish on a fuel pump or can even justify this to the misses when she asks why I'm doing this for :scared:
I wanted to keep the car standard after getting pee** off with the air filter hens sent the cat back back. now I've read you're post and thinking 260 + bhp from minimal parts then why not :rolleye:
If you just want 260ish then look at my sig and just do those customisations.
FMIC/HPFP and full turbo back exhaust will be stage 2 and will probs see you with 280ish as mentioned.
There is little point in just doing a few mods and hoping for the best, it's all about buying the correct mods that accompany each other to make the power you want.
Cat back, after market filter, and pre-cat delete should see what your after, HPFP, FMIC and turbo back along side the other mods will see you more as it's a stage 2 oppertunity, and R-TECH will be sure to make the most of it...:)

:happy2:I'm confused now :stupid: r tech in London or Revo :confused:And there's no 'bolt on' maps at R-Tech. That's R-Tech, Hinckley, Leicestershire, just in case you're thinking of a similarly named company.. One does exist.
r-tec in london by chance?
r-tec and R-TECH are differnt companies mate. R-TECH in Hinckley are the ones you want.

Lol they must have felt stupid for going all the way there :signLOL: I think it's those near London that can't do they're mapping right :scared:Thanks for the injector advice :drinking:Hehe! Proper R-Tech is Leicestershire. Like Greenman said, there's a tuner down south with a similar name. Someone actually booked in with one place and turned up at the other a while ago!!I'm confused now :stupid: r tech in London or Revo :confused:And there's no 'bolt on' maps at R-Tech.

I'm on a stage 2 R-Tech map with only a K&N panel air filter and full turbo back 3inch Powervalve exhaust system with 200 cell sports cat = 273bhp with 344 lb/ft torque. This is plenty of power from the GTI and makes me smile every time I drive it.
Apart from the above two mods the car is completely standard and I have no intention of changing anything else as it drives like a dream.
If I get bored with this in the future, I may upgrade the fuel pump and intercooler and go for the Stage 2+ but I would only do this if I can achieve circa 300bhp. Otherwise I wouldn't see the benefit in spending a lot of money for very little gain.
Thankfully R-Tech are only around 40 miles away from me.........

Totally agree that the fuel pump upgrade etc is a big shell out if you don't see a nice increase in power, that's why i have stuck with getting the best out of the car with stage 1.
I suppose our cars show the benefits of a good basic setup, with the help of knowledgable tuners.
I also agree that this sort of power is enough for the GTI, anything more is rolling straight line only and pub talk figures!

What are your brakes like Greenman???
Post by: gokgti on January 10, 2016, 03:44:53 pm
Is it DSG or manual?
Dont forget people too its not about the end figures its about the shape of the curves and the area under neath them, yours will have a wide spread of power now mate especially with the extra torque. Awesome

Currently the main mods are an S3 intercooler, forge twintake and milltek turbo back exhaust. Have a loba fuel pump waiting to be fitted and a few little bits and pieces before its back for stage 2+.
The car is on 32k and DSG.

That's a strong engine. Should see past 290 with the pump, and a good dollop of torque of course.R-Tech got me 282bhp and 347 torque at stage 2. That's on an 07 GTi.What mods were fitted?

Wow you got that power without the HPFP??? I'd be happy with 280 hp. Love those milltek systems :happy2:R-Tech got me 282bhp and 347 torque at stage 2. That's on an 07 GTi.What mods were fitted?

Thinking of R- Tech myself. I currently have an entirely stock setup. If i put an updated air filter in beforehand, will that realistically make much difference??
Just debating doing the pre cat delete and back box too but trying to keep an eye on the expense... This site is terrible for the bank balance - Encouraging far too many lovely expensive mods..!

That's exactly how I feel right now :sad1: all that power but ££££ doesn't help :signLOL:
Completely agree. I'm going STG1 @ R-TECH in 19 days time and would love to have paired it with a Powervalve exhaust. its just mega money even with the group buy. Guess I just need to decide which child doesn't need to eat for a while ;)

You can still do the pre-cat delete as it's a free mod, just your time getting the DP off and on again...:)

I didn't, and Stage 1 at R-Tech got me 242bhp and 296lb/ft.
I know some cars are inherently stronger than others, but looking at this thread you've got to say it's a worthwhile mod.
Luckily I'll soon be skinting myself on the Powervalve and fingers crossed fattening up my torque and getting near 270bhp.

Did you change your clutch beforehand?
Post by: Greenman on January 11, 2016, 02:45:33 pm
Yeah, did the precat yonks ago in preparation, along with cam follower. I think the PCV and DV are ok, but will replace on day if required.
Dave
Cool.
Yeah they check DV and PCV as part of the price. I paid £45 for supply and fitment of Rev G DV as i had a Rev D and even though it was ok wanted the Rev G anyway.
Replaced cam follower myself.
Nice result!
Did you change your clutch beforehand?
Nope, and i get no clutch slip from the OEM clutch what so ever.
Got it spinning the wheels in 2'nd and 3'rd yesterday!
Post by: Berry on January 11, 2016, 06:18:22 pm
Good point about the clutch Eagles. Something I'd panic about but then again you'll never know until you map it and see. Looks like your OEM may have had an easy life (so far :wink:) Greenman

I'm over the moon mate really does transform the cars into a brialliant a and b road animal! the torqque spread makes them bags of fun, just have to forget the small traction issues at this time of the year lol

Excellent. All you've got to do now is get a Tyre centre loyalty card! :grin:

Seems that way.
I don't drive it hard that often so hopefully the car will be ok for a good while yet and i won;t have to shell out any money for clutch etc.
It had full VW history when i bought it and has just over 80k now.
I look after it too - except maybe when i'm changing at 7k in all gears...;)

Mine seems to pull all the way to the redline now.
I change when the power starts dropping off tbh, probs not quite 7k. I'm normally looking where i'm going and who might crash into me when i'm at those kind of revs...;)

Sorry for the late reply, yes that's running the standard fuel pump. I have a loba fuel pump waiting to be fitted later this month. The milltek does sound lovely and brings out your inner child. I just wish work allowed me to drive it more, it was mot'd on the 1st June 2015 and has done around 700 miles since then and a big chunk of that was R-Tech. :confused:
