don't worry about bhp figure, just get torque brought down to a sensible level, or get a better clutch.
In plain terms, your torque level is too high for your standard clutch to handle.
If you don't boot it til your revvs are over 2.5k, then your clutch will last a bit longer in standard - but it will wear out a LOT quicker now you have a remap.
You need to either:
1 - Get the torque figure reduced to less than 300lb/ft - this will maximise your standard clutch life, although power will be less than it is now
2 - Get an uprated clutch - will cost you about £800, but you can rest assured that your clutch wont fail & you will get the most out of your remap

Hi Guys
Before this thread spirals off, the dyno was run in power run mode, we are waiting for a software upgrade so that both lines are accurately shown on the print out
The BHP is correct, the actual torque was 296lbs.ft
355.......not even I'm that good

ok guys thanks so much for all your help so so helpfully, I phoned Will at p-torque and he said that my torque is running at 296 not 355 thank F**K he said although it is saying that on the print out. It is a computer error and the first two runs were to establish torque!! which were 291 and 296.
so i think i am safe?????????????
i also said about the smoke and he said that it was smoking quite a lot of the standard run. So i will be going to Seat to have a look at that!!!

As long as it feels like a 33.3% increase in power, then all's good. You should be able to feel a 50bhp increase quite easily. I remember driving my pd100 away from Jabba the first time I got it mapped from 100bhp to 147. 
Very grin inducing so you can't imagine what my current setup makes me like.

Could have explained it to the customer before he posted the results, but at least it's cleared it all up.
But for me, it's another nail in the coffin for RR results being inaccurate

I did explain, but there was obviously some confusion
I've always used supermarket diesel in my car and it doesn't smoke at all, not under the hardest of acceleration, plus it runs really smoothly and quietly (for a diesel), so I'm not sure if that would be a reason being that supermarket fuel is pretty clean by any standards.
I changed to shell and i have found it loads better but because of the cluch slip (New now ordered) i hav't really given it any beans yet!! but i am confident that the change in fuel will help loads!!!
HOLY ****!!!!
is the only words i can use to tell u about how WELL my fr goes now,after the remap.
it pulls in all gears,its so dam fast.
if u have a TDI,get it remaped................and a anew clutch too
it is quality i can't wait for the clute to be fitted so i can feel the full power of the TDI!!!
