TT 2.0TSFI remap - any good?

[PompeyPaul]

I am rerally unsure about which convertible to go for.

One I hadn't considered until recently is a TT. Budget circa 15k. Would a 2.0 with a remap make a notable difference to how it feels? I have seen the claimed figures on paper, but just wondering from peoples real life experience of doing so, either in this or another vehicle running the same engine?

I had my B7 A4 2.0T remapped with Revo software. It was like a different car. Very fast with a lot of low down torque. Make sure you get a Quattro!

Go to R-tech in Hinkley, cheaper than Revo and better results.
Replace your Diverter Valve, HPFP cam follower and PCV valve prior to getting your car remapped (plenty of DIY guides and a home-job).
Happy days.

Yes, remap makes quite a difference, however as said earlier, better in quattro, otherwise endless front tyre wheel-spin!

I've owned and been in various mapped cars. A friend had the same engine and I was pleasantly surprised at how quick it was after just a revo map. Engine clearly responds well to it.

Yes, in a front drive TT first and second gears become exercises in restraint/patience. They end up with pretty serious mid range torque (~280lb/ft) so can dust the front tyres quite nicely.

A quattro car is a different story and becomes very quick with the S-Tronic version a right little dragster.

Had an S3 with S -tronic and a revo remap.
Car was immense fun and pretty damn quick for something so affordable.

Made me drive like a hooligan, even at my 44 yrs of age, which is why I sold it after just a year of ownership.
