Basically I can finally look at maps now my insurance is coming down, but always been dubious over maps as don't want my turbo popping on me with it being a 140 heard horror stories.
Where would people recommend I live north west Warrington way, so I was looking at darkside or r-tec or cc tuning all are roughly a 1.45 from mine just wondered who are the best.
Darkside don't have a rr, does this matter I know they drive your car instead see how it feels but again this seems like guess work but they are tdi specific so should know there stuff.
Any help would be great here never had a map before so a little nervous ha ha.

I'm running a cc tuning map on my jetta and I'm over the moon with it, are you talking about cc tuning in burton on Trent?
-
I'm near Preston and went to cc tuning for the remap on my 140.

:D
There is also awesome gti in Manchester.
I have a whine from my turbo but it was there before the remap.

Chris at cc tuning knows his stuff about diesels and how to get the best out of them, I've had every car I've owned remapped there and so has my friend all trouble free and before and after rolling road with print outs.
-
Yep the burton on Trent one mate, that's good to here I wasn't sure as they don't specifically specialise in tdi's.
Awesome I didn't really want to go as they push the generic maps alot
-
Few options
Darkside - ive used these for parts no experience of mapping
Shark - Did my Stage0,Stage2 and Stage 2+ mapping on my old PD170, it made a realistic 228bhp
CC-Tuning - they are a sponsor on another forum i Admin on (TDISport.com), i have no experience of Chris's mapping but alot of the people on the forum are happy
R-Tech - No experience of them but from what ive seen Niki is a master of his trade
May i also throw RS Tuning into the mix, My friend has got a PD170 Golf running a Hybrid Turbo,WMI amongst the other usual Stage2 DPF delete mod's hes recently swapped his Shark mapping for RS-Tuning, it made 3bhp less peak power but made 25bhp more through the rev range and now goes a hell of alot better (the Shark mapping was good)
-
Ok will look at them also, would people say a rolling road is important for mapping or not just more or figures
-
A mate of mine has just had his 140 mapped at CC Tuning and it does feel very good. Feels more eager low down than my Shark'd 170.

Matto
as ive said above, my mate has just switched his Shark mapping on his PD170 to RS Tuning
It made 3bhp less peak but 25bhp more through the rev range means that it drives alot better

Yeah read your reply. Quite interested in this too actually as I have been wondering whether the map that's on mine is as good as it could be.

The shark mapping is good, My PD170 flew with there Stage2+ map (to smokey for road use)
Jamie has switched because hes got the hybrid turbo/WMI and the ECU wouldn't make the boost the turbo needed without out tricking it into it using a different MAP sensor (i believe), Mikko didn't want to tune this way so hes gone else where and had it done, Peak power is roughly about the same but has made more power else where so hes very happy
-
No one else with any more feedback of a company.
-
R tech maps are very good,the power iS very smooth.awesome gti also do good maps as well.
-
Has anyone had any experience with AMD Technik and their custom remaps they offer?
-
I've had the Awesome GTI map on mine now for about 3 weeks, loving it , It may be generic but it gives that little extra that is almost OEM+ , No smoke, nice boot full of power when needed.
-
Ta for all the help am tempted by darkside as they have done so much work on the bad engines, just they don't rolling road them
-
Do they not? Thought they would?
-
Bkd engine ment to say not bad, stupid I phones. No joe they don't mate.
-
Weird! P.S im on unphased now! :happy2:
-
Good to hear ave got mine booked with carbon chip tuning not sure if there the same as the above folk have mentioned in terms fo referring to a said company as 'CC Tuning'
Craig @ Carbon has assured me that the rep of their maps is excellent all the R&D is carried out by themselves and as they do mainstream fuel effeciency maps am really hoping that the service and map is as good as it gets.
My previous pd 150 mk4 was mapped by rtech needless to say there maps were also awesome but the mobile factor of Carbon coming to me and mappign 3 other cars was a deal too good to miss, they also have excellent feedback and a are forum sponsors over on golfgti.co.uk
Roll on monday
-
Carbon and cc are two different companies mate.
-
Let us know how it goes mate
-
Can't wait for tomorrow remap on the cards by carbon
