As title really, looking for someone who can look at and remap VAG ECUs (not just upload a generic set of maps).

Any help greatly appreciated. smile

One of the best regarded companies in that business is MRC tuning in Banbury, Oxfordshire.

I think many people thought that, but couldn't be bothered to type: "Which VAG in particular?", because as you allude to, some tuners don't have the facilities to map older OBD1 ECUs that require a physical chip and decryptor board. There are millions of 'VAG' flash tuners out there though. All you need is a laptop and a quiet carpark smile

Vaguer than vague. Welcome to the internet. I might walk into Currys after work and simply ask: "Please can I have a washing machine delivered to my house" and see how far such vagueness gets me biglaugh

Approx. 20m people live in the South East of England, to my question of bespoke VAG tuners, you answered "there are millions", so let's give you the benefit of the doubt and conclude you 2 million. That implies there should be at least two living on my street and around 20,000 in my local town.

And you criticise me for being vague. rolleyes

Still haven't told us what engine fella.

No point putting you in contact with a 2.0TSI specialist if you have a 1.9TDI or vice versa.

I'd be amazed if there is such a thing as a commercial 2.0TSI specialist ECU mapper who doesn't also specialise in all of the other common VAG engines!

Can you point one out to me?

MRC pointed out above specialise in "all S, RS and R performance Audis" - that's quite a range of engines!

R-Tech only deal with 1.8T and 2.0TFSI.

Then you have Darkside and Derv Tech who only really do 1.9TDI, 2.0TDI.

if its for your S6 then MRC are the place to go.
