Title: Remap
Post by: MyGTI-BWA on June 27, 2017, 10:58:10 pm: Hi everyone, my first post on here

I have a GTI MK5 which has been mapped by JBS Auto design to Phase 3 map

I'm looking for a new tuned to remap the car and set it up properly, the JBS work that was done to car is in simple words crap, can someone recommend a company and also a good clutch kit to go with it all, i recently around 300 miles ago fitted half ceramic multi plate half organic clutch and it feels horrible, there no clutch feed its just dump and go, for town driving its horrible, so as you can see I have not had any luck with the mods and out of money too, really annoyed

I would be glad if few others out there recommend/advise me.

+1. The Helix is a nice clutch for town driving/traffic. As nice as you'll get for a clutch that'll hold 400lb/ft anyway. It's just a heavier pedal.

What they both say....verbatim.

I ran my Organic Helix clutch for over 3 years on my Stage2+ Eddy, never missed a beat and all mapped by R-Tech for good measure. My Helix held up to 420ft lb when the stage 2+ custom map was being done without a problem but was bought back down to 370ft lb to keep it all happy.....great clutch.......and even better tuner!!
