Title: GT TDI 140 MAP Q's
Post by: stevw1 on April 02, 2011, 10:47:09 pm

Hi
I am wanting to get my GT TDI 140pd mapped, i have been quoted 180+bhp and around 300ft lb torque by a reputable Revo franchise.

My issue is that they say the turbo on this model is not the strongest and have experienced some going "POP" post map ! do i take my chances?

YES or NO  (any 140 owners had this)

Advice welcome  :happy2:

Its just turned 76k, no evidence of it being replaced. Guess i'll just take my chances. Either way its getting done  :evilgrin:

No worries,can't decide to go for the awesome map or go to
R-tech and try one of their custom maps

Me too, its a dilemma. R-tech's website shows that they are using Revo software, so Awesome is much nearer for me and if owt goes wrong(please no) they are pretty much on the doostep.

Plus as you say as a regular customer you can achieve some good discounts too, which is always a BONUS !!

99% Decided on Awesome.

R-Tech remaps are R-Tech maps and custom wrote in house,

R-Tech are also midlands dealers for Revo maps so you get the best of both worlds, an Revo remap with the R-tech customer service and dyno setup skills.

Have you got any modifactions to the engine coz ive got the 140 tdi and r-tech qutoed me £250 for custom map and i would a achieve 200bhp if i was to use a pipercross panel filter and a de-cat which i thought was quite good considering the standard is 140bhp and i would only be modifying two parts of the engine.

I got 200bhp with the mods you listed with my 140soot chucker

 :signLOL: Soot chucker i've never heard a diesel be called that before so it is achieveable then beacause although i thought it was a good achievement from a 140 lump i did think he might have been shooting for the stars if you know what i mean  :signLOL:
