what have you done to your car today ?
- Thread starter seatcupramad23

Took it out to stretch it's legs after the remap on Saturday. It was emotional
Interesting,tell us more
LOL.was it mapped before you went in?what's the biggest difference, torque driveability or just balls out speed lol
When I went in it had 222bhp. I left with 255 and a lot of torque because of my TIP. He told me to buy a badger5 oversized TIP and sell the forge I've got on there. That will lower my torque because the air will not be travelling into the turbo at such high velocity but more air will be readily available so that will give a lot more horsepower. He showed dynosheets of a remapped LCR with a normal TIP versus the same car with a badger5 TIP and there was a bit less torque but 20hp more putting it up to 270bhp, and that was without changing the map again. I've got a badger5 on order there is a lot of torque at the minute. It wheels spins through first, second and sometimes third in these conditions... It's got a lot of pull. I'm looking forward to getting the badger5 on there to make it more useable power and he said it will definitely put me over 270bhp

Sounds good mate.bet that was a nice drive home.
Good to see someone recommending other tuners.
Here alot of good things about badger5

Yeah, the tuner down there, Nicky, was a good bloke. Knew what he was on about! They make their own TIPs for the 180's but said the badger is a quality TIP for the cupra r so they haven't bothered making their own. I haven't got any experience with anyone else but was properly impressed with r--tech and it was well worth the 2 hour drive up there. He showed me some dodgy maps he's seen with massive boost spikes and the turbo requesting 100% power which will blow the turbo or throw a rod and explained a lot about how it all works coz I'm into that sort of thing. I learnt a lot and got decent power gains all for the bargain price of 250 quid lol I'm happy with it
That's a cheap price for a remap.
Heard good views on ****** also.
I'll have to get round to having mine checked for peace if mind

And when I put my induction kit on my mpg dropped to 31-32 on motorways from about 37mpg. On the way to get the map I got just over 32 driving at 70-75. On the way home I got 35-36mpg driving at 75-80 mostly. Remaps aren't just for power gains
Could be. Mine didn't really spin up in 3rd before the map. Obviously tyre quality and pressure would play a big part as well
I'm not sure what pressures is recommended at this time of year but that sounds reasonable. These engines map up really well with minimal mods so it is possible someone's upped the power. Get it on a rolling road and see what you're pulling
