    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.

    Cheers

    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

    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.
