Hi every one

Ive just bought a 180 bhp tt roadster in Numbus grey/basball leather. Anyway i'm already thinking of a remap to 210 bhp. Can the 180bhp handle the remap? I know this car also comes in the 225bhp format but i don't know if that is due to a different turbo?
Thanks in advance!

Well done and me too!

I have just bought myself a lovely silver 225bhp TT-R.

I'm thinking about a remap at some point too.

I wonder how many more ponies the 225 has to offer?

Let us know what you decide to do smile

Both engines tune very well - mainly through raising the boost pressure through a remap.

The 180 should easily handle 210 and the 225 will go up to about 265-270 with remap. Not just a bigger turbo but different internals in the 225 as well as 2 intercoolers rather than 1.

Much beyond those numbers and you're looking at bugger turbos, injectors etc and much bigger money

Thanks Gren,

I'll leave it as standard 225 for a while until I get "the hunger" smile

Just got an insurance quote for change of cover and it is only £390 for the year fully comp with protected NCB.

Not bad!
