chipping 2.0tfsi leon

[cejsmith]

I've just been out in both the 2.0tfsi and 2.0 tdi, both of which where very good. I was wondering though if any one has chipped the petrol yet? I know the tdi has lots of people doing it.

Also does any one know if there are any mechiacal difference between the engine and the one in the golf gti and Skoda VRS.

Revo can do the TFSI, theyt've had it up to 260bhp and 300lbft.

the current warm leon uses a detuned version of the golf/octavia 20.T Rumours are the FR will have the same 197bhp version and the cupraq will be around 240bhp.

I pick mine up next week. If I get mine re mapped,will it affect my warranty,insurance etc?

 

[DanGB]

Yes both, insurance quite alot depending on your age!

 

[PDaddy]

Thats cool, so theres no difference between the engines at a component level, its just detuned at the ECU, excellent...

255bhp on the new TFSI leon massive jump, anyone had it done, wonder what the before and after effect is like.

Forge can do it too, I drove their MkV Golf GTi Demo car (essentially the same unit) and it was lovely and smooth.

Quite a bit of power just very different delivery to what I was used to at that time (I was used to the LCR which gives big lumps of power when remapped not a nice smooth band).

Forge have done a huge amount of testing on the Golf V Gti (they have had one for the past year testing parts on it) plenty of which will be similar to the TFSI, I know they did Intercoolers, intakes, they even looked at exhausts systems IIRC so they have plenty of knowledge to draw on....think they are just about the only people who currently do a DV for that application (including at atmospheric version at about £45)

You should tell you insurers IMO but that's your business.

Warranty is only affected on the bits that SEAT prove were affected by the remap, the onus is on them....personally I would agree that a reflashed ECU probably would be excluded from the warranty but nothing else. This is IF the dealer can even detect you have had a remap.....not sure anybody incl Revo have a switchable map for the TFSi....don't think the Revo SPS switch works on that engine - you'd need to check that though...

I was wondering though if any one has chipped the petrol yet? I know the tdi has lots of people doing it.

Upsolute quoted me £295 inclusive to 'upgrade' my tfsi on my own driveway. Time to do the job is two hours.

A Revo agent told me: "We offer a Revo Technik upgrade for your vehicle, the software is £499+VAT. The software is completely undetectable to a dealer as it is, Revo have told me that the new SPS units for the new 2.0 engine should be available from week commencing the 17th April though!".

Upsolute quote 240 BHP, Revo quote 255 BHP.

 

[Rampage]

At Autosport this year Revo told me that the units were already available.

Software is available, he said the SPS switch is available later this month.

Having had a few cars remapped, don't look at headline figures or costs look at the whole package and what you need.

Customer Service
Switchable Maps
R&D of the developer
Personal recommendations
Perhaps how the power is delivered and amount of Torque etc

lots to consider IMO

 

[cejsmith]

Sounds great but I'm not sure I quite want 255bhp!!! I don't think the handling and brakes would be upto it. Has any one here actually had it done yet?

What package do you offer for a Leon TFSI? Most importantly can any improvement be temporarily switched off to stop the dealer getting curious as to where the extra performance has come from?

 

[ForgeMotorsport]

whats your e mail or can we pm you

For the record Forge suggested they could do 235 BHP for a price between Upsolute/Revo. I'm awaiting a reply to my email regarding a method to 'disable/revert' the mod when taking in for service. I presume Forge would rather other interested parties contact them direct to get an individual quote.

I'll report back after I decide on who to go to and what the experience was like if anyone's interested.

Hi

The chassis and brakes are well up to 260bhp. I haven't found any torque steer with any of the 2.0T that we have done. Mainly Golfs so far but a couple of SEAT's and Audis. VAG are producing great engines at the mo, the 2.0TDi is a useful tool as well.

With REVO you can also set the map at a lower boost setting if too much power is a concern? Then at least you can increase the boost back up when you want MORE! Bit like Oliver Twist!?
