hi guys, right basically i bought my 2005 gti in july and its been great, i fitted an air filter from AMD shortly after i got it and it was very wooshy :laugh: it didnt seem that slow back then, but recently its become very sluggish so i ordered the uprated diverter valve and fitted it today, all i can say is OMG the performace is amazing the air filter is no way near as loud now as it was, but i swear it goes WAY WAY WAY better than a standard gti the in gear acceleration is phenomenal 30-70 is so quick, sorry to rant on for a while but is there a way i can find out if it has been remapped?
thanks in advance
:happy2:

hi,
Apart from having a dyno run performed, there's not many ways in my view...even dealers can't detect a remap :wink:
-
log the boost or MAF intake with vcds...
-
what should the standard boost be mate?
-
Try this . Do 80 mph and put you foot down half way , if it changes down its standard . If its mapped it won't change down as no need , bhp and torque are up and it just pulls . That's what happens with mine anyway from standard to stage 1 . You could drive a standard gti , I think standard is pretty slow to be honest that's why I just had to have a map . Although my previous car was a 911 so that didn't help lol

Forgot to say I am assuming you have dsg when I say to put foot half way down and see if it changes down
-
Jamma I don't think that's a scientific method of ascertaining if a car is remapped.

It's a good indication though IMO :smiley:

Not really because how can you define how much the accelerator is being pressed.
As has been said. Either rolling road of log the MAF!

DSG adapts itself to each driver, this method of finding out a map won't work.

Do you use a pine cone to forecast the weather? :smiley:

Easy, visit a local tuner, ask them to read your map and compate it with a stock version with the same software variation.

This thread is ace. :signLOL:

I still do and if the cows are lying donw in the field :grin:

:signLOL: ok let me explain what I mean.
Obviously the map makes the car a lot quicker so I can tell straight away as I have something to compare it with, if the OP was to get someone to drive his car who owns a gti mapped ot not mapped they could tell straight away .
So if someone mapped my car or took the map off I could tell within seconds, slow as oppossed to fast :driver:
simples :signLOL:

What? explain ?

Taken from wikipeidia.
" Because the DSG's ECU uses "fuzzy logic", the operation of the DSG is said to be "adaptive"; that is, the DSG will "learn" how the user drives the car, and will progressively tailor the shift points accordingly to suit the habits of the driver."
