chipping a 2004 Audi TT 225

[buzzer]

Anyone offer any advice on chipping a 225 BHP TT?

What options power wise are open to me? I don't want to make any other modifications but an increase in power would be nice...

is there any difference in MPG?

Any advice on where to go to get it chipped would also be great, I am in the West Midlands. Prefer a good job, rather than a cheap job!

the car has done 55k with full service history.

thanks

Easily remapped, use someone reputable. Go on the UK TT Forum and ask someone there for a tuner in your area. Very good guys on there.

Mine was remapped to 265bhp. I changed the divertor valve (£80) and ran super unleaded. The car was smoother, very punchy and returned about 4 mpg more.

I've led to believe that ~270bhp is possible with a decent map and a better recirculating valve.

I'm certainly looking forward to having the same done to swmbo's.

Seriously leave it alone, a very close freind of mine has been through a nightmare after letting a supposedly reputable and recomended comapany remap his 225bhp TT.

So, one person has a bad experience which means all are bad?

Great advice there.

Do it. Change the Diverter Valve to a Forge or APR item, and if the coilpacks are a bit dodgy they will go but thats a cheap fix.

I had mine remapped by the best Kim Collins never a problem in 6 years. Coil pack problems were sorted by 03 so do not worry on that score. There is a good guy on the TTforum who remaps he did my new 56 plate latest shape Astra van wow did that go. He is in Wombourne Wolverhampton. Go to the http://www.tt-forum.co.uk/forum/ and you will not go wrong

Yes, but at the same time it helps to be objective rather than base your experience on one event which probably wasn't the fault of the company anyway.

The known 'brands' simply download a tried and tested map to your car. If your car has a problem, then a more aggressive map will soon expose that...

To that end it may be better for the OP to seek out someone who can live map the car in order to achieve better results.

I have had 3 remaps for 3 differnet VAG cars from Upsolute, two were excellent (1.8T's) the 2.5 tdi not so good, I was never happy with it and got a refund and a reset. Stayed in communication with them, I really cant fault them for that. Thus sticking with a reputable company does carry weight, from personal experience.

Saying "leave it alone" is hardly the other side of the coin. It's like saying I know someone who ate at Fat Duck and died of TB as a result when the bast majority of people do it without having an issue. At all.

It's exactly the other side of the coin you peen?

Is you abit fick?

[Colonial]

I realised that after I posted it but was too lazy to edit

It's hardly a common occurence. I know plenty with 150+ on the clock, TT's A4's and S3's that are chipped that have had no issues apart from MAF and coilpacks which is an easy or quick fix.

If it didn't work, for the countless people that sing their praises, that they would still be in business?

Thousands of people have done it across the world...

Biggest issue Ive seen is bent rods. About half a dozen cases from stage 1 mapped cars.
