the 99 passat 1.9 110 i have is going to have a tune, but which would you guys go for and what gains should i realistically get? i presume its best to get the car serviced before i go if its being r roaded, just to be on the safe side :beerchug:
best companies and ones to steer clear of, maybe have to pm me the bad ones to avoid 'action'
prices and hp/torque figures please?

Remap is the best for everything to be honest and a comapny I used on here is RS Tuning very professional and will make it fly for you.
I have a Sharan 130PD which they did we settled on 179hp with 315lb ft of torque, it did do more than that but we took it back a little for the sake of the clutch, it does a genuine 144hp at the wheels and is so smooth to drive it's great.
The economy also went up from 40mpg ave to 46mpg this is measured very carefully to be sure of the accuracy.
In all it's transformed the car in every way, have a talk with Paul mention me and he'll probably tell you more about it than I can remember.
thanks for the advice, im getting 55mpg av. on my 30 mile journey to work, got 480 miles so far from this tank and its still 1 mark below 1/2 so it'll hopefully do a bit more once its done :beerchug: cant believe how good my passat is to drive!! no dropping gears to overtake like my old car, i'd like to see 150bhp but wont be too fussy. im only 33 so not going that easy with the right foot.Quote:
