Remap or Chip?

I am after info also. I am looking to upgrade my 05 Golf mk5 2L TDI DSG. I cant find a thread here with this info.

Im in Brisbane and have recieved info on ST3 and Bluefin. I am after what users thought of these, plus exhaust systems.

Haven't told my insurance at mo. Did go to moneysupermarket and compared brand new insurance quotes, the lowest cost company was something like 'Budget' and I redid the quotes with and without stage 1 & stage 2 mods (get me with all the lingo!!!) and it didn't make any difference.:biglaugh:

Turbo stays on boost to the redline now. When i fill up next i will set to Eco mode and see if there are similar gains there. Takes about 10mins to change programs, and programs can be chaged if you buy a different car.

Be careful with insurance. In the event of a claim they will investigate the cause and and if they can find a reason to deny the claim they will. It is not so much the damage to your car, it is the cost of the damage to the 4 cars you side swiped while coming to a stop.

Download the software to your pc, then e-mail your factory map ti Viezu. This is then modified. I went for fast road and eco. They e-mail back, you download to your Vswitch, connect to your car (under steering wheel) then press a few buttons. Takes about 5mins to change programs. ECO mode is seeing about 10% fuel saving and also runs better. Brilliant piece of kit!
