Remap....Is it worth it?

**The Bishmeister** · 23-09-2007,02:40 PM

Hi guys.

I was just wondering how much differencea ramp makes. I know the average gain in BHP and torque etc but I wanna know if you people who have had their TDi remapped were really happy with the results.

Cheers

Had my PD100 done. Very very happy with the results, even though i'll need new tyres more often, lol. the ESP light might as well be constantly on when pushing hard, though it's much more fun with it off....

It's transformed my car, better than i was expecting to achieve.

Torque is phenominal (sp?)

So...if someone had remapped your car without telling you, and then you got in and drove it hard...you definatly would notice it being much quicker?

**bora(ing) nick** · 24-09-2007,06:17 PM

you'd notice without having to drive it hard.... The extra torque is there all the way through the rev range. If you drove it hard, the ESP light would be constantly on.

So its worth the £400 odd for a custom remap?

I paid £250 as a special offer from chip and spin, with before and after runs on the rolling road. His map alone should be £275.

Only you can decide whether it's worth it or not, depending on your income and financial status. I got better performance than i expected. and i'd happily pay £250 to get another car done @ chipped uk.

Why not get in touch with chip and spin, and see if he has a dealer near you. I think the normal price is £275 (without rollers).

I had my map done with "bora(ing) nick" from "chip and spin".

What a tranformation to your car it makes. At £250 to, a bargain.

Definatly worth the money, even if its £250 or £500.

Alot of people have recomended chip and spin...Will ask if they can come to Brighton or halfway or something!

For those of you who have kindly replied, did you have a customer remap or generic?

My next question is...do you really think a custom remap is worth the extra dosh?
