They have a rolling road so going to get my cars power levels checked, anyone used them?
They say they monitor AFR and boost, what is AFR??
-
Heard of the from a mate with an Evo. Haven't used them myself though so don't know. I'm looking to remap the car at the end of Nov so would be good to head up (from Edinburgh) for a RR & printout. Do Star Performance have a rolling road?
-
AFR is Air Fuel Ratio mate.
Can't help on the place though sorry! :signLOL:

Not sure bout Star mate, not used them. Autohaus in Edinburgh are good for remaps, they did my initial revo one. They now only do APR tho and don't have a rolling road.
Konzeptautohaus in Glasgow are also good and do Revo. However they also don't have a RR.

Homer, I've saw your car at Autohaus. :wink: They are my local garage (2 mins from work) so I get on quite well with Stevie and the lads.
As you say they do APR stuff now so no diesel remap (I'll be going with Ben and Shark Performance anyway) but really top notch work.
They can also buy in VW Racing stuff for you if ever necessary. :happy2:
-

Yes they do but having read a few recent posts it may not be as good nowadays :ashamed: as I knew it to be

Falkland Performance are good(also revo dealers). Try them they have a rolling road. Only 2wd though. Konzept Auto are the people i used for my software. You pay for what you get. I don't rate star performance at all. :wink:

I don't rate star performance at all. :wink:
Ha !

Im not saying Jim is not a top bloke...I know plenty of people that have gone to him and been happy but my personal experience Im just saying i dont rate the remaps.

Stan at eco tune is doing pretty well for himself as well with the apr software. :smiley:

Haha small world! Next time you see my car have a look for me and let me know who you are! Aye Stevie and Davey Re good guys, have had quite a few things done from them over the years.

Do we not only need a 2wd rolling road for the GTI?

Sorry to Hijack your thread but where's the best place to get my GT 140 chipped/Mapped and whats it likely to cost? I have a mate who works at VW and they do REVO remaps for £300 iirc (this might be wrong price) :confused:
I used Dastek years ago when i was in the Nissan 200sx club. We had a block booking and a few cars got done. this would have been 8 or 9 yeras ago so cant really remember.

I'm with Graeme re star performance ... Had a remap and other good work on my old cupra but took my ed30 up for a giac stage 1 map. He openly admitted that he did no test after the map was added and had no evidence from vcds before or after. When I drove home it was clearly not right and as it's a 120m trip each way for me I took it to pdt who found it was pulling timing of about 9deg and only putting out about 245bhp. Jim was not very open to idea he'd not done a good job and needless to say I've not been back
-
What did PDT do to it to resolve the issue?
-
To be honest there wasn't much that could be done, I've since changed to revo. My point was that Jim took short cuts, made no effort to hide them and ultimately did a half arsed job. I don't doubt he knows his stuff but I personally wouldn't touch him with a barge pole.
Pdt basically did what Jim should've, ie run vcds take RR readouts and generally assess if the remap has the impact it should do
-
Yep a tuner should be making sure the cars healthy for the map via RR or vagcom and at least do logging on the road if no dyno,not good to hear about Jim.
Also there are some things which cannot be seen when a maps put on,clutch going south can be an expensive one but generally it'll speed up what is already on the cards imho
-
That's crap news as star was one of the places I was seriously considering for the RR. PDT is miles away. Dastek it is then.
-
From my experiance with star performance I wouldn't use them again either.

What happened out of interest?

Ecotune has a rolling road in Hillington.
-
Does it matter whether a rolling road is 2wd or 4wd or would this only be an issue if your car was 4 wheel drive? Thanks
-
Any thoughts?

Do they do much work on GTI's? From what I can see they specialise in BMWs. Have booked in to use the RR in any case.
-
Yes EcoTune are an APR dealer.
A friends 2.0TFSI Leon Cupra R is looked after by Ecotune, i think they map alot of VAG stuff now
