Lynsey Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Yes I've finally done it!!Spent this afternoon at AMD in Bicester having my remap done!! After my taster of REVO back in february, I couldn't leave my car standard any longer border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />TORQUE border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />I know, before you say it, this isn't as high a reading as they quote! They told me that all cars they've RR'd today have been giving slightly odd/under-reading results, they believe is down to it being humid and too hot in the garage today. I'm therefore allowed back for a re-run should I require it. Then again my car just might be a tad crap border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />Total price was £646.25 but sod it, I have the money and now the power so I'm not complaining style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Top afternoon! Now I'll stop waffling, thanks for reading!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Glad you're happy with it! 100bhp seems pretty reasonable for the 1.4 TDI without any mods.£646 is a fortune though! How did it work out to be so much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewp Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Bloody hell, that's alot of cash, but sounds like it'll be great fun. Does the Loop 'learn' your driving style? The Passat does (which I've been thinking of chipping for a long time), and it means it may well get slightly quicker as it adapts to your driving style.

Grapo Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 (edited) That is a hell of a lot cash for 20 odd bhp! Edited July 8, 2005 by Grapo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewp Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 It's the gain in torque that'll make the real difference, and that's a pretty noticable increase in torque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Thats not a bad result at all.Agree, the £600 price tag seems a little steep imo but like you say, you have the cash, and they have got a great result.And just like the petrol remap.Theres that dip in touque again.Wonder whats causeing that.We'll have to see what she'll do at pod now mate style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The subtle modder Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Nice power graph yes and the lupo looks well smart but i thought superchips was only about £300 why pay £600 odd for AMD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Nice power graph yes and the lupo looks well smart but i thought superchips was only about £300 why pay £600 odd for AMD<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Superchips are £511 plus vat according to their website.

Tigz™ Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Revo couldnt get anywhere near that when they Remapped Lyndsys car last year.Revo claimed alot more, but could deliver when the day came. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryn Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 That's ahealthy increase in power as a percentage of what you had before, must be about a 20% gain surely?I think it's worth the money for sure.Good on you mate for getting it done.

The subtle modder Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Wait a sec so am i right in reading tigz's post that its been remapped twice?And at a local show where superchips was advertised the bloke told me that most cars will only be about £300 to do are diesels or volkswagons more expensive because it gets done through serial port or what?Any chance of a 0-60 figure if you dont mind because i noticed this one below the other night and my mate recons theres no chance without noshttp://clubarosa.clublupo.co.uk/yc1.htmthanks wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 AMD seem very expensive on the TDI for some reason.Revo did a 5 hour trial remap on Lynsey's car, during which time she got it rolling-roaded. It put out more power than stock, but the figures were disappointing compared to what Revo advertised.119bhp seems a lot from just a remap, induction kit and exhaust. If it really is putting out 119bhp, that quarter-mile time of 16.4 seconds seems about right, but I'm not sure about the 0-60 time - depends if the TDI will do 60 in second gear or not.

sleeky tdi Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Looking at the price of the amd I think im gonna go jabbasport instead style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Llee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altern8 Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 can u get filters for a tdi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynsey Posted July 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 why is it so much dearer than the Revo remap?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>No idea why its so much dearer - ok so if I call it £550+VAT (as per AMD's website) it don't sound so bad as £646 style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Revo results for me were 96 bhp and 174 lb torque (no-where near their quoted figures). I gained approx 16 bhp and just 10 lb torque over what I had already as standard.AMD quote increase of 22bhp and 25 lb torque.AMD results gave me 99.2 bhp and 184 lb torque. So I think I made the right decision style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quoted from an email they sent to me whilst my decision making was in progress, when I quizzed them over the results I had from Revo and whether they could do better... ...We are not in a position to cast in stone numbers, that is why we say gains are approximate, we do however have the ace card in all of this. We are soft ware originators where as Revo at Stealth has no choice but to use a one size fits all map, no good if the car is already quick from stock. We then emulate the car until the required power is achieved still making sure we stay within the parameter of factory safety levels.

sleeky tdi Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Yeah you can get filters for the tdi, bmc and green do a panel filter, and you can also get a bmc cda for it style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Lee.

The subtle modder Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 well working it out its about £27 each 1 bhp which doesnt sound that bad against a full stainless exhaust and induction kit but can more bhp be gained with an exhaust and induction kit or does this car already have them considering it hardly looks standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeky tdi Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 TBH i doubt the filters / exhausts do much, no where near what a chip would do anyway. Im gonna get the bmc panel filter for mine, see what its like.Lee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 I imagine more power could be gained with an exhaust then a custom remap, but if you were to custom remap then put an exhaust on it would probably be the same as just a custom remap as it would effect things slightly having less back pressure etc.A german company quote 100ps after remap aloneor 115ps after High Flow Cylinder filter (direct replacement), Free Flow Exhaust, and then a custom remap.i mailed the local jabbasport dealer about their custom remap service (£450) if they do this service then i'll probably get myself a Free flow panel filter, and remove the centre box to give my exhaust a bit more less back pressure before going in for the remap.

sleeky tdi Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Sounds good mate!I really fancy the remus centre exit twin dtm, but i cant justify the price tag for a backbox style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Lee.
