I plugged my laptop in, downloaded the ecu file, sent it to my mapper, who sent it back and I uploaded to my laptop, so near enough

I think I will uprate the brakes at some point, but they're pretty good for now.

How much did this cost you?

That's pretty cool....

I wonder what the map is like though.

Well, I use a company who have been trading for many years. Re-mapping cars like this is part of my business.

dsmithmobile · 12-12-2007, 17:14

Glad to hear you've got it mapped

Angry Dog · 12-12-2007, 17:17

Ta Dan

Bet its not as quick as yours though!

You've got a PM BTW!

Blade404 · 12-12-2007, 18:15

Yay.. well done

Any idea what the expected power increase is?

Angry Dog · 12-12-2007, 18:16

realisticly? 20bhp.

Blade404 · 12-12-2007, 18:20

That's not bad considering

Nice early xmas pressie... which reminds me need to get one of mine fitted

It may be more, but I dont like power figures

Get it done

mattbeef · 12-12-2007, 19:55

Two of us with a remap today then

bengie · 12-12-2007, 20:08

how would a custom ecu get rid of a DV?

every petrol turbo should have a DV.

Custom ECU to get rid of the need for the pressure balance needed.

My Cosworth's and Rover Turbo's never ran DV's and never suffered any issue's

mattbeef · 12-12-2007, 20:18

the Escort RS turbo never had a DV as standard either.

Id personally leave it as lets be honest VAG designed it to have one so it must need one

Angry Dog · 12-12-2007, 20:20

I dont like DV's LOL

mluton · 12-12-2007, 20:23

Nice one, you have now joined the Red Octy vRS remap club. LOL

bengie · 12-12-2007, 20:32

but the DV is there to release pressure from the inlet tract and if you don't release it it get out somewhere which without a DV will be back through the turbo putting strain on the shaft and possibly also causing turbo stall therefore more lag at certain times.

not saying your wrong but what does a custom ecu do differently so that a DV isn't required?

Angry Dog · 12-12-2007, 20:37

The VAG Ecu relies on the need for the dv and the way it works (like the APC on the Saab's).

A custom ecu wouldnt need that, and I'm quite sure it would work!

I've actually always found cars with a dumpvalve to be more laggier.

Certain turbo's do need them, others dont. The Garrett Cosworth type T34 is perfectly fine without one.
