Just wondered what peoples opinions were on this? I have a year left of my warranty but very tempted by a map.
-
we all played with our from new :innocent: so get modding :evilgrin:
-
So if I were to get a revo map, is there anything else I'd realistically need to upgrade immediately or can it be done to a stock gti without doing anything? I'm new to the modding game!
-
just map it and have fun nice and easy
-
I'm in the same boat as you Iain, wanting a remap but I think I'm gonna wait for the warranty to run out first. :happy2:
You just going stage 1 with Revo?
-
Yes I think so. I've heard that revo is marginally the best so will go with that. Just gonna go with stage one for now then in the future when I want more power I'll move to stage 2! How much longer does your warranty last?
-
Runs out somewhen in January so still a good 5-6 months! Not as much as your one year though I suppose! :P
I think I'll go for stage 1 Revo for starters too. :happy2:

Do it now as you may not have the car for what ever reason in a year's time. :smiley:
-
make sure your car is tip top , tyres/oil/serviced etc
then just go for it :happy2:
be prepared for possible tething troubles (PCV/DV etc) and maybe stick a bit more aside just in case (clutch if you are manual etc)
If you have a really early GTI be worth checking your cam version/follower is OK too
But most cars just remap without any issues :happy2: and are all the better for it :evilgrin:
(dont forget to consider insurance costs too!)
-
My car is an 06 gti with dsg? Same potential problems?
-
aside from a clutch yep, but dont worry.
worth a DSG oil change if you havent done so already as good practice :happy2:
