Audi A4 1.8T Quattro remap?
Discussion
A few weeks ago I bought one of these as I needed a bigger car than my 3 door Golf , now I had the Golf since it was 18mths old and after 7 years of ownership had my first map (212) and a year later the second one (231hp) nice totally uncontrollable unless you had decent tyres on the front.
Now with the Quattro this wouldn't be an issue ,I realise that , what I need to know is how much is a stage one and is it worth doing, any owners done this?
Ta.

I don't have an A4 but I do have a 2001 S3 Quattro with the same 1.8T engine.
Stage 1 is just a standard ECU remap. In my opinion it's a no brainer. You are looking at an extra 40bhp or so for very little effort. Somewhere from £250-500 depending on who you go to. Not all remaps are equal. So do your research.
No difference otherwise, you just get more power and more response from the engine.
One recomended upgrade when remapping these engines is an upgraded diverter valve. I've got the forge motorsport one which everyone seems to use.
After that you need to look at an induction kit or filter upgrade which will also give you some reasonable gains.

Yeah, had REVO map put on the OH's Quattro 1.8T - very nice bump and less gutless. No complaints.
The Revo is a tad violent for clutches which is why I opted for a custom map on my Golf.I'm looking for around 30% power gain on the first map which would to my mind give and extra 50 horses on the 190 engine.
I know a couple of PHers have this car and was just wondering if they went down the map route and what power gains they had?
