Golf Gti Edition 30 DSG/Perrelli Superchips Re-Map

[daverogers2001]

For those of you that have one of these, Superchips have now released a Brand New map for the DSG model. The problem before was that they had to reduce the torque on the DSG model because of the way the DSG model handled it but this has now been resolved. I have the new map and It is fantastic. I have been running the reduced power map for nearly 2 years and I thought that this one was impressive but now the latest map is putting out over well ove 400nm of torque and boy is this fun.
well done Superchips.

I've got it too ... it is very quick indeed !

Made 298 bhp on my otherwise standard Ed 30 on the Superchips rollers - up from 229 standard. Torque was 411 Nm as opposed to 309 Nm standard. It needs a dry road to deploy it all .... but when you can the car absolutely flies

Due to the weather I have reverted to their 'lower' torque remap - which still produces 295 bhp at the top end but with much less torque mid range ... torque / power mid range is still well up from standard but not to the levels of their newer map for the DSG version which makes it a bit easier to deploy in this weather !

Hi John, I use mine on the 'FULL POWER' map all the time even in this appalling weather of late and find that as long as you are sensible with your right foot it's more than managable. The only time I return it to it's original (Factory) configuration is possible when the boss (wife) is going to use it, but this rarely happens. I do occasionally but it back to the factory map for a week or so just to remind me how impressive the remap is and when I put it back to full power wow it's really impressive as you will know already. I am really chuffed with superchips and their customer services is brilliant, I cannot praise them enough.

Cheers
Dave

The only thing I dislike about the remaps on these FWD is the power getting into the wheels.

If the weather is slightly off there is so much wheel spin and it can get annoying!

True, but the Edition 30 is far better at putting power down than any other fwd car I have owned !

FWIW my 295bhp Ed 30 is far better at getting it's power down than a std Civic Type R we had abut 3 years ago .... that was great in the dry but truly awful in the wet .....

[daverogers2001]

Your right about front wheel drive cars and in the wet even high powered rear wheel drive cars have difficulty in the wet, however, the Ed 30 copes better than some other front wheel drive cars I have driven. You just have to feather the throttle and it's quite a knack but with practice you will know where the limits of grip V power are and can adjust accordingly.

I've had my ED30 for a year now but I'm a newbie to remapping. Currently considering Bluefin remap. Apart from the obvious performance benefits are you guys noticing any fuel consumption benefits?

[daverogers2001]

Hi, there are fuel benefits if you drive the car very carefully but if you have remapped the car for extra power I think your kinda missing the point.

Personally I am a bit heavy on the right foot and as such I have not really experienced any economy gains and to be honest my average fuel consumption is down to about 24.6 mpg, but I have to say that most of my driving of late has been town and country driving.

If your looking for DB9 eating performace, get the bluefin and remap the car, if you are looking for fuel economy, change it to a diesel!

I think that anyone who has remapped their edition 30 via the bluefin has been more than impressed and I know the guys at Superchips give you a money back guarantee if you are not happy, so what have you got to lose!, Let me know what you think if you decide to go ahead with it.

Good Luck

Dave
