Very worthwhile modification for any of the 1.8t's.

Totally transforms the car.

We are only based in Leeds so if you want to call in for a chat feel free.

if i have this work done does it go on a register like when you have a super chip
are the dvla informed and would the insurance company know can i get away with not telling them?

manny thanks

We dont tell anyone, of course its down to you if you tell the insurance because they could find the software if they really wanted to.

Cheers

so does this mean that the firms that claim their remaps are "invisible" to a VAG diagnostic tool etc are talking rubbish?

No not at all but of course you can take logs (boost for example) or even go so far as to read the contents of the ecu and have it checked.

It does happen but not often

Paul

thanks you have all been really helpfull

iv fitted a bigger turbo to mine a k04. it definatly improves power. but for the money a remap is the way to go.

if money is not a issue then get both! then ul see a real difference.

I had mine remapped last week and it makes a lot of diffenrence, feels like a different car, you can actually feel the turbo working. best £275 i have spent so far

My 1.8T is mapped and it goes like at rocket.
