Remap? Any ideas?
Posted: Fri Jul 26, 2013 6:49 pm
Hi folks,
Recently bought a lovely 2001 B5.5 1.8t with 150bhp and 137k miles (FSH). Apart from a very jerky throttle response (separate issue) I think this car needs a touch more overtaking power a little lower down the rev range as boost doesn't properly come in till 4k revs. Will a remap address this and how much power can I realistically expect from my little engine without spending silly money tearing it all apart and replacing all the insides!!?
I thought about a stage one or two remap and wondered if anyone knew a decent place in the North of England that would do it for a good price?
Cheers
Steve
