Title: Noob from Dorset!
Post by: andy_mc_mac on August 19, 2013, 01:52:51 pm

Hey Guys,

I have been a 'lurker' for a little while but got my mk5 GTi a couple of weeks ago.
So just thought I would say hello :)

It is a just a standard jobby in tornado red.

Short term plans are:

New wheels - possible 18" Audi Rotors
Eibach sportline springs (can't go super low as use car for work everyday)
Rev D
CAI (whatever looks stock but sounds a bit fruitier)
Stainless cat back system
Remap (any decent places local to Dorset for this? I think APD have gone?)

:D

Yeah go to VAS Works, ask for Paul, he'll sort you out, say Dom sent ya ;)

They were very helpful in taking my Edition 30 to Stage 2+, they are Revo dealers...

They are moving premises soon, but currently where APD were based, they're moving round the corner at the end of the month...  :drinking:

E30Dom ah nice - I was over wincanton way the other day for work.

Yeah I will head in to VAS worx once I have CAI and exhaust sorted. Do you have any idea how much they charge for Revo Stage 1 on standard 04 Mk V Gti?

Think it's set by Revo at £399 but confirm with them...

Welcome, Revo have 20% discount on all software until end of the month  :happy2:

Post by: andy_mc_mac on August 22, 2013, 11:02:35 pm

Hmm £400 is a lot of money - but with 20% off that makes it "justifiable" in my mind ha ha.

Only thing is I haven't done exhaust and CAI yet? Is it worth doing these before the remap? Because if so... I'm not going to get time before the discount ends :(

 Could go stage1 (approx 290bhp) getting at 20% off price then pay the standard £50 to go stage 2 once your CAI and TBE is fitted :)

290bhp?!! I'm guessing that's stage 1 on an Ed30? I presumed it was approx 240bhp stage one on a standard GTi?

But ok - I always thought you were supposed to get a map done once you had added the bespoke ancillaries? But maybe that's just for a bespoke remap.

I don't have any plans to go stage 2 lol - under 250 Bhp is fine for me
