Re-Map opinions

richardmearman · 05-10-2008, 10:03 AM

Hi,

I'v just recentlt purchased my new a3 quattro 170 (58) im looking to Re-map this car but nowhere can do it which i have asked so far, does anyone have any idea where can do this? i believe it's because audi have fiddled with the engine since the previous 170, even better if anyone has ever had this done to a 170 your opinions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Cheers

I'v tried around 10 companies all of which seem to be very vague as to them doing a remap on this engine because of it being so new, do you have any idea which company could do it?

Like Jon says, which companies have you spoken to? We can then think of people not in that list

They're a bit of a trek from you, but APS in Brackley are very well respected. I've used them several times (will be there tomorrow infact) and they're a great bunch of guys.

There is also Revo Technik who have dealers dotted around the place. I've currently got a Revo remap on my R32 and had one on my TDI with very good results.

Like Burble says - try APS first

I have Revo Revo Technik | ECU Tuning & Engine Management Software (soon to be stage 2

) which is simply superb; not sure if thety cater for your engine, though. You may want to try APR as well - Awesome GTI Store UK - VW/Audi/Seat/Skoda Performance & Styling

What hardware mods are required for stage 2?

Highflow & downpipes, uprated fuel pump (stage 2 software specific to the fuel pump), uprated divertor valve such as Forge and a CAI, but that's optional as a panel filter such as the BMC I'm currently running, is fine.

Taking it a stage further, there's a larger front-mounted intercooler that can be fitted and repositioning of the divertor valve along with complete K04 turbo upgrades (that's used in the ED30 and S3) utilising a S3 components. If you're going to upgrade your turbo, you may as well go for an aftermarket one.

Where does one stop!? Very addictive stuff this modding....
