Anyone had this map on a BKD diesel??
Plan on getting the Golf mapped at somepoint but this seems like a really good deal.

What further improvements could be expected with a large bore cat less downpipe and system??

Thanks!

Just got back from Awesome. The drive home was an experience, its totally changed the drive of the car. Power delivery is very smooth and progressive and WOW can you tell its mapped,entered the motorway slip-road and gave it some, was into 3 figures before the end of the slip-road  :scared:
Also when cruising and you need to go, boy does it GO !!

If anyone is in two minds as to or not, my advice would be GO FOR IT, you wont be dissapointed.

BIG THANKS to all at AWESOME  :happy2:

How is it for smoke. At a recent RR day there was a guy on BRISKODA with a stage 3 awesome GTI fabia vRS TDI which h made the biggest ssmoke plume I've ever seen from a car.  It was pure comedy. Its on you tube called smoke screen iirc. Filled the workshop big style and made 30hp less than expected

I have seen evidence of that on some mapped diesels. Tbh there wasn't much smoke at all, dont get me wrong there was some but not silly. I have the car regularly serviced with fresh oil and filters and it didnt smoke much before the map.

RR was Xtra, so didnt have one.

Ohright, by looking at the ad on their website I thought the rr was included in the deal..

I doubt the two deals can be had in conjunction...

I think that was only when you bought Revo software they were offering a free RR session.

Its a 2008, 58 GT Sport. He said something about VW changed things around at this time and awesome havent got the cracked encryption to access it.

Iv got it booked in next week so it can be scanned, if they cant do it, it would be a revo map at £478  :scared:

Personally i think thats a bit cheeky as the ad doesnt state that! Better not have to pay for scan!!

I've never heard of that mine is a 57, plate gt sport, so mines probably the same.

If that fails give blackcode a bell I had my gttdi 170 done by them when revo awesome wouldn't touch it due to Dpf ... Can't praise them high enough stunning difference and no probs what so ever ... They had a big stand at inters and UD so getting better known.  And think I paid £250ish  :notworthy:

Thanks. I wouldnt pay nearly £500 for a remap to be honest! Only looking into it as its possibly a christmas present  :happy2: :grin:

Not bad! How did you rate it? More power and better mpg? Any problems?
Title: Re: £150 Awesome Map= Just do it !!
Post by: Oli on November 02, 2011, 08:41:33 pm
Just fine.  Better mpg, smoother and more power - how it should have come from the factory - just pulls and pulls.

Simon from emaps has looked after loads of my cars and customers-maps are always really smooth, as proved on dyno.

Good luck

Did you have any issues with your divertor valve?

Hello people,
Just to let you guys know, you will not be charged for us to scan the vehicle to see if we can mater the later models.
It is one of them where we do need the vehicle physically here in order for us to check if we can do it.
Any queries please do not hesitate to contact me
I hope that helps

Thanks
Hassan
