Hi all> New member here. Drive a red 03 Octavia vRS. Looking forward to using the site. Thinking about re-mapping the chip. Any thoughts, especially on Jabbasport versus AMD. Replies welcome.

Hello and Welcome,

all the tuners have there plus and minus's in the end,i went to Jabba as its a custom map and they set it up on a Rolling road,and it was nearest to where i live mainly.

if you do a search for re-map on here you'll find a wealth of info,alot of reading!!!!
you can always call the tuners directly and have a chat with them to ease any fears you may have.

any questions then just post up in My Performance section and the knowledgable few will answer your questions.

once you start modifying it becomes a slippery slope!!!see below.....

i'm 30 and have just re-insured with my youngest brother on it on a modified policy up to 250bhp and any other mods(lowering etc)all ok.

with Admiral last year i was paying £760 with a £350 excess and now i'm paying £1000 with a £550 excess.

quite a bit more but i know i'm completely covered as was insured with same company and broker when i had my modified Mk2 Golf,was with them for 6 years.

would recommend.hope this all helps Steric.
