Hi there,

just like to say hi to everyone on here. I have just bought my Octavis VRS after many years of wanting one :-) . Its a 52 plate with 38k on it in silver.

I was wondering wot everyone thinks is the best remap ???

please let me know wot you think and thanks in advance for all you help :-)

Adam

Ahoy there fellow skodite!

i'm afraid it's not that easy! there are so many different companies, so many different types of remap, at differing prices, you could never just name one as the best. Also some maps suit some cars, while they don't work so good on others.

I'd avoid Jabba or any cheap and dodgy ones personally. Just do a quick search in the forum, and there are thousands of posts about remaps. Go with one of the big names if you can afford to.

Bodge, I notice you replied in my remap thread too but the answer to my question might be useful for adam too.

Why would you avoid Jabba? I thought they were one of the big players in VAG tuning?

I've just heard bad things about their customer care really, and a lack of after sales support.

There are a few guys on here that had Jabba maps, which caused running problems, but Jabba wern't interested in sorting it for them. So they had to go and get another map from elsewhere to cure the problems.

That's just my opinion based on what I've heard, and I don't have a remap so can't comment first hand. If you search the forum and read through some threads I'm sure you'll pick something up.

I think there was a thread about the 17705 fault code that digressed into blaming Jabba maps somewhere!

found it!

Cheers Bodge, useful stuff in that thread

Hi Adam,

Mine isn't remapped yet but I plan to get one next year from Impossible Performance mainly because I've yet to hear a bad thing about them (and not just from the Skoda lot, I know a few Seat and VW owners that have used them), and it's nice and local so if anything does go wrong I can go bang on their door

I noticed you are coming to their rolling road day at the end of this month so it might be worth going out in one of the cars that has already been remapped? I believe Gerry (Beretta) has an Impossible remap, there will probably be a few more there and maybe even some getting remapped on the day so you can have a before and after passenger ride

To balance things I have had a massive amount of work done by Jabba on several cars & cant speak highly enough of them. Theres 2 sides to every problem

Im more than happy with my impossible performance remap... the difference is very noticable when you drive away!!

thanks guys,

i have put my name down for the 27th sept impossible meet and map as its down the road from me and sounds like everyone thinks there good :-) also looks bloody cheap too :)

hopefully see some of you down there

I can't complain about my £100 ebay map to be honest bags of power and torque.

FTW = For the win IMO = In my opinion

Love the lazy gits using acronyms

I also keep um and arring.. car is running great standard (182bhp as per vag com) and have had no issues with it in 3 years.

The added strain on the car, clutch, turbo etc is it worth it? Want another 3 years plain sailing.

Impossible performance for me, I have had zero Issues in whats nearing two years of it being done, oh and Mike and co will tell ya how it is nothing inflated just how it is

Hi, i picked my VRS up last night and had a great drive home..:)

im really considering weather its worth remapping it now as its stunning as it is. its smooth its fast i love it :D

think i will go to the rollers in kent on the 27th just for a standard run to see wot its doing ??

Any chance we could speak english at some point.

Hope this helps.

Its a common fact that it does not matter what way things are spelt aslong as the first and last letters are in the right place.

Wasn't having a go at you, your english is excellent:)

Couldn't agree more Stuart!!!

I speak as I find!.......best policy TBH

They have always been first class for me, they might take a while to get back to people (a day or two), but that is because they are very busy people....i.e. popular and extremely good at what they do!

Steve:)

Yea, My experience with Jabba is mixed, I got my springs from their and also a service as I was their, both Excellent fast and efficient, However My friend had a map and the claimed figures from the RR where so wrong it was un true and that verified by 3 other RR and none even got near it, what can you say? apart from I got my map at Impossible, I asked Mike what I can expect and he said 200-220 Max, I have been to two RR and had results of 206 and 214, however My torque is well above most maps I have seen.

Dont Listen to everything you hear go and see them they are a big place maybe thats the issue, I like Impossible as you can stand their right in Mike's way with your head under the bonnet why he does the work.
