Since i've had my car all i've done is maintenance stuff. :sad1: Need to get some mods. :evilgrin:
So for a stage 2 map do i just need 3" down pipe & intake?
It needs to be stealth so the wife doesn't notice.
Options for dp and intake?
Also tuners here are sh*t. What options are there for a map i can load myself?
Read a lot about Driver’s Motorsport in the states. As usual the pita is the taxes.

I would imaging most people will say Milltek or BCS downpipe and sports cat, along with a Revo stage 2 remap. But I don't know if you can get the shipped to Spain...
-
You will need a downpipe and a sports cat or decat, sports cat if you want the car to be quiet, also look at inclosed intakes if you want it stealthy
You got revo, giac, think dm is popular also eurodyne.. If ur in the states golfmkv.com might be better advice on us based software
-
I can ship all the parts to my address in london and get them forwarded to spain. revo & giac do programs i can load myself?
-
I think it will have to be a sport cat the itv (mot) here is a pita
-
giac do but revo will require fine tuning and logging

So revo tweak it for each car? This is what i liked about the DM map.

Must be a revo dealer in barca mate.

I don't have much faith in the garages here took my other car to 3 seat dealers as it kept going into limp mode due to over boost. They said i needed a new turbo. The last time i even asked them to check the vacuum pipe running to the waste gate. This was supposedly done. Had a few comments are you a mechanic etc.
A couple of weeks ago i risked parking the GTI on the street whipped the vacuum pipe to the waste gate off and tested it. No leaks but when i removed my finger from one end the vacuum held. A £6.00 fix.
Wont they just stick on a stock file anyway. Are they really going to tailor it just for me?

Found my closest revo dealer! my garage is bigger. Wheres the dyno?

You don't need a dyno. Road logging is fine.
-
So they don't usually dyno the car when they map it?
I just think that this place will just load on the standard file? Which i can do myself.

Not sure how your going to load a Revo map to your car without their tools but I'm all ears.

Theres a Revo dealer nearish to dazza I think.
So long as they load the correct map you can do the logging and adjusting if there is any doubt.

That was my original question can i buy a loader & map and load it myself. Rather than paying a local reseller whos just going to load a stock map.
Going from the revo website the price is 785.00 EUR/£615

That's not cheap :sick:

Why do you think i asked if i can buy a loader and load it myself?
I thought a lot of work went in to mapping a car dyno testing tweaking etc. I doubt the one local to me would tweak anything. He probably does one map a year.
-
This is why i thought of DM as you buy a loader download your stock file send it to them and they send you the map.

No different than a flash map tho. At lear with Revo you can tweak it yourself.

So can i buy map and loader from the UK and load it myself?
-
No. Get the dealer to flash it and then I'll send you my sps box and you can adjust it.

giac do but revo will require fine tuning and logging
Ah ok misunderstood this post i thought they did.
Whats the price of revo stage 2 map in the UK.
-
there is no basic map you can upload the car will just load with all fuelling,timing and boost set to 0 and it wont be any faster
boost,timing and fuelling needs setting up
-
So the revo dealers set all this info? And there is not a stock file for a mk5 gti handed down by revo?
This makes me feel even less confident. Would you get you car mapped here?

I picked a random dealer from the UK. This is my idea of a place where you get your car mapped.

yes mate
if they are a authorised revo dealer they should know what to do, its not to difficult
