Hi, i am thinking of starting on the slippery slope of having a re-map on my currently standard VRS. just wondering if anyone has had a generic map done from jabba sport and if so what they think of it or is it worth going the whole hog and havng custom code done.

does having a re-map affect the amount of fuel used (seeing as it cost me over 50 Quid to fill up last night!!) :eek: :eek: :thumbdwn:

is it liabel to cause excess engine wear with the greater power prodiced etc and if so is it likely to cost me an arm and a leg in clutches drive shafts etc etc.

sorry if these seam like divvy questions but as you may just notice i have no previous experiance of re-maps etc.

I had my 1.8T re-mapped at Jabba last October. I went for the generic map which Jabba say gives 206-212 BHP and around 220 lb/ft of torque.

I have to say it was well worth it. It is like having a new car again when it is done.

I had no intentions to do anything else really so just went for the generic one. However i now have vRS springs and dampers and bigger brakes getting fitted soon too.

My personal view is that you are unlikely to do any damage to the engine after a generic remap. Some of the guys on here are running custom maps with significantly more power than the figures i have quoted you with few problems to report.

My average MPG has gone down by about 1 MPG, a price worth paying for the extra "fun" you can have. On a steady run i can get in the low 40's on the motorway.

If you are intending on getting a FMIC and full turbo back exhaust systems then i would say it is probably best to get these type of things done with a custom map.

However if you just want a lot of "bang for your buck" then i can't rate the genric map i got done highy enough.

Any more questions just let me know:thumbup:

:iagree:

I have a JBS Custom Code map (phase 1, generic map)

It's well worth the money, and my average MPG hasn't really changed.

I have a Jabba custom map with, more recently, their variable boost controller. MPG is the same after the remap, even though the power is way up on the original 150bhp.

I see your in the South East.

Have a word with Mike @ Impossible Performance, he's on the Medway Industrial Estate (not too many miles to travel).

You'll not go wrong here mucker.

thanks guys,

I will have a word with impossible performance as its closer to home, if not i'll be on my way to Jabba soon!

i got mine remaped and my mpg has dropped significantly, that might be down to me though
