I want to get a stage one remap but there's too many places to choose from I live in Gloucester but I don't want to drive to far! Also what mods do you recommend for stage one and what kinda gains should I get from it thanks :)

Welcome along! :drinking:
A stage 1 map will require nothing to be done to your car beforehand. Really all you'll need to check is the usual precautionary items. Make sure your Diverter Valve is a nice new Recision G one, check your PCV is ok, Coilpacks are the latter recalled ones and run it on 99RON.
What car do you have? If you have a standard GTI then expect to see around 50 bhp and 80 ft lb torque from a generic map and similar gains from a K04 Turbo'd Edition30/Pirelli. As for a map, go for the best and not the nearest IMO. As a R-Tech fanboy I'm going to say them but you can't argue with REVO or APR.
Happy modding!
:happy2:

Cheers ^^ yea I'm Pritty sure I just changed the pvc and yea I have a mk5 gti.
PVC is at the front I the engine Isn't it ?
I don't know if I have had the recalled coil packs !
And every one seems to be rateing r-tech atm
Oh and cheers for the help !

Stealth are a good place to go to, they seem to get good ratings on here.They are in Southam, Warwickshire about 50 miles from you I think.

I travelled a 300 mile journey to Rtech and wouldn't have it any other way

I love the same area and although Vince at stealth is awesome at what he does it's the same distance to goto Leicester and visit niki dude you'll be well impressed
-
I'm guessing niki is r-tech ?
-
Yes mate
-
Another vote for R-Tech here :happy2:
Niki did a superb job on my GTI and I'll be going back with the Ed30 for sure :party:
-
R Tech always
-
Revo do a fair job for a generic map..as do Apr... Either of these will transform your car...myself I prefer the custom wrote map I have on mine from r tech.....twice the service and a whole lot cheaper...
-
r tech for sure
:drinking:
-
R-tech :happy2:
-
R-tec it is then lol just a Shame I'm having car problems again I fix one thing somthing else breaks :(
-
Definitely R-tech from me!
-
AKSTuning, whom also is an admin here
Top bloke!

Is R-Tech as good as APR or Revo?? I want mine done but think the £600 price tag for the latter two is a bit silly but I want as much power gain as possible...

Yes, maybe even better.
The R-Tech vs Revo was discussed the other day, R-Tech vs APR is probably in the archives somewhere. . .

Thanks Gray that is very interesting, I'm defo up for an R-Tech map now after reading that. And also in my opinion £600 is a total ripoff for any map! I would leave the car alone before I paid that :smiley:

My thoughts exactly. It's all overhead & profit. Big companies, lots of mouths to feed.
I'd rather put my money into a small honest company who just wants to do a good job and build a reputation, not pay for marketing managers & commercial directors and their company BMW's :happy2:
That's just my view

This was the reason I used Jabbasport (Stage 2 Custom map) and R-Tech (DSG Custom map) for remaps and BCS for exhaust and Volant for intake, I avoided the big companies and their big prices!!
Now if R-Tech were to do a Remap for the MK7 Golf R I would probably be first in line :happy2:
-
soooo i was going to get a remap from r tec and now i have found out that either my timings out or my camshaft adjuster is broken :( and not a cheap fix :/ to fix or not to fix is teh question or do i sell and use my savings to move out for an edition 30 hahaha :innocent:
-
p-torque mate bloody awesome
-
R-tech has my vote Niki is a wizard :-)
