    The manufacturer?

    They generally update the ECU firmware periodically, but you might have a different problem too.

    the remapping is interesting.how much do you think it would cost to remap a gti to 240bhp.

    about 3 or 400 I'd say off the top of my head for an upsolute generic remap. Remaps in the UK (REVO) go for about £450 but they have the ability to go stock with the flick of a switch. I'd say a custom remap would cost a good bit more

    yeah but i have heard revo and apr are really good.so i would think if i get a golf gti i would rather get it done from uk than here as theres more choice over there.but still 4-500 is not that bad for a 40bhp increase.

    I've had mine done already, big difference - but you have to get use to it as flooring it will just leave you and your tyres at the lights! But once you master it its fantastic :D

    this my third remapping
    first was in uk by superchips,what asetup
    second was nc namaras in dublin ,who where agents for superchips,wasnt impressed as had to take back twice to get it right,so wouldnt be going to them,there is acouple in munster,but not impressed from what l heard about them
    want to improve pickup and get rid of flat spot
    most say 30% to 45% improvement which is alot depending on car
    from what l have read,dealer do remap,but improvement are poor as they want you back son for service

    most of them charge between 350-450 euros which isnt bad
    mcnamaras charged 700 euros up which was a lot

    700 quid is normal really.. Revo charge the same.

    If somewhere else is cheaper then there's a reason - with Upsolute it's less power than Superchips or Revo, for example.

    BB has a point it is less BHP than the others, but I have to say its more than enough - as I said earlier its hard enough to get what I power I have down as it is :D

    Chip cost me 400 and v happy with it AGAIN!

    also the website states 240bhp, is that increase just from chip or did you change the induction kit.
    also does this chip have a switch to change it back to normal settings eg the 200 bhp.
    also does it increase fuel economy.

    and the final question is have you informed insurance company and if yes did the insurance quote increase.
    thanks and so sorry for all the questions:D
