Title: Stage 1 remap
Post by: Craig Stanley on June 02, 2016, 01:57:42 pm: When I bought my mk5 gti 2 months ago the previous owner told me he thought it had been mapped. Is there anyone near Bournemouth running a Stage 1 map so I can compare as I have my doubts about this. I have it booked in to Rtech next month and would like to know before I make the 320 mile round trip. If not is there any way of me finding out without having it Dyno'd.

I think there's a way of getting a fairly accurate bhp figure by logging maf values with vcds.

I'm sure someone with the software will be able to confirm that.

Cant remember stock peak boost level though. 15PSI?

Or... take another GTI for a test drive from a used car dealer and see how it compares to yours. :driver:

You just need to log MAF through VCDS - then devide by 0.8 to get a rough bhp

Boost pressure specified & actual will also tell you. if it is a stage one map with no mods it should be around 18psi
