My mate has a standard golf GT tdi 2.0 and he reckons he's getting a revo remap giving him 185bhp from a standard 140 bhp with no mods, that's 45bhp for doing nothing, surely this is bull****.

 

Wouldn't be surprised if its a modern one as most cars now come so restricted from factory especially turbo cars, (which most are now).
Would that not come standard with the same engine as a leon FR diesel just detuned a little ?

 

I have just bought a audi a5 3.0l tdi quattro and revo qoute roughly 45bhp and 85ft/lb with just a remap

 

a mates Golf ed 30 went from 226 bhp to 323 bhp with just a remap, I know thats a detuned S3 lump, but still some gain.

 

Yea my mates cupra went from 240 to 315 with an APR map

 

So how come it costs a fortune getting small gains from impreza

 

very different kettle of fish, your as likely to blow up a scoob by flash mapping as it is to work, there just too temperamental and highly strung from stock.

 

Because as far as engines go it's a dinosaur !!

 

Not uncommon with modern cars nowadays, I got about 50hp and 80-100flbs gain but mine was custom tuned, not a generic off the shelf map.
