Bought a GTi 2 months back and can't decide if it's remapped or not. Are there any GTi owners out there who would like to do a little comparison? Ideally either a standard car or a stage 1. Manual.
Cheers!

Ok. The response wasn't great.
Anybody have any ideas on how to check for a remap? :D

Have someone plug into it, what makes you think it maybe mapped

West Midlands owner here with vcds

It feels faster than I expected it to feel and had some subtle chrome sill kick plates so I suspect it was previously owned by an enthusiast.
Reluctant to take it to rtech until I know what I already have.
Where about in the West Midlands Voorhees?

Download the Torque App, and buy a very cheap bluetooth OBD modual, ELM27 varient. From this you can view and log the boost pressure, stock is around 13psi i beleive for a healthy engine.

I'm in Warwickshire just outside Coventry if you need a second opinion, mines stage 1 to compare and I have VCDS. :happy2:

Sounds cracking! I'm in Stourbridge so not far at all.

Mine peaks around 12-13 and is pulling 5 or 6 by the redline.

You can check the air mass reading at full throttle in 3rd to get a rough idea of horse power, take the highest reading, maf reading should be in g/s, and divide it by 0.8 to get your horsepower
