To those that have had a basic remap to their TDI (any BHP/tuner/chip), in your opinion which OEM chassis component is shown up as being the most inadequate afterwards [?].

If i were to remap my TDI130, my budget would be limited to either a suspension or brake upgrade not both.

Thanks for voting/any other opinions..............

Other: You inability to keep the speed down...lol[]

Just out of interest, how much will it alter my 0-60 time & my top speed when I have my 150 jabbered ??

Ive read some claiming to get 160mph out of a chipped 1.8t/R32, is that possible ????

Just a general question.

I would say suspension mate...... its pointless getting a remap and only going quick in straight lines, anyone can do that. Do the suspension and i'd say you'll be happy. The thing is with brakes, unless you drive like you're on a race track all of time, standard brakes would be fine ... its just a case of knowing you have to give it a bit of time to scrub off the speed.

Suspension gets my vote even before getting a chip, deffo afterwards, why have it only able to go fast in a straight line???

 

[PhatPhil]

Decent suspension. Makes a HUGE difference. After I had all the work done on my car it feels totally different to drive. Keys into the tarmac much more and the give much more confidence when driving fast.

Most definatly [^]

Agree with Phil - suspension will radically improve the car and your confidence in its abilities. Brakes are also a good idea, but like Chris says, you can drive around the brakes situation (until you have saved up!). Once you have experienced better brakes, there's no going back, but then the same applies to xenons, Recaros, blah blah blah[]. A chip is the thin end of the wedge!

You know what I'm going to say next[:I] - Koni Sport adjustable dampers (yellow) RRP ?392 and Eibach or H&R -30mm springs (?110 ish). Awesome will give you -10% forum discount. Powerflex bushes while you are at it if you can stretch the budget. You already have the ARB's don't you as you did the GB?

 

[NikB]

I'd go with suspension first but try and stretch to brakes later. I enjoyed my car so much more once I'd got the suspension sorted.

Agree with Phil

First time I've heard that, from anyone, in ages!! []

 

[MikeP]

I voted "other" although I should really get my suspension sorted out!!

I find the hesitancy at 2k revs more noticeable now, and can be off putting sometimes... however, it's a trait of all VW diesels whether chipped or not []

 

[david_h]

I think the biggest inadequacy revealed by a remap is clutch slip. Loadsa extra torque vanishing into thin air! []

Who do you think I am, dc? [8D]

 

[02 Bora]

thanks for all your comments. I'm glad you agree with me in that the OEM suspension will be the thing to change.

Are you thinking of a remap on the Passat? This has been keeping me awake:

I can feel ?500 going... and they have a dealer around 7 miles away from me.. mmmmmmmm [B)]

 

[Sem]

Suspension most definately.

I already had my car lowered before getting it Revo'd though.

 

[Royster]

Suspension I suppose.. Aren't the brakes alright anyway?

 

[Richard W]

The suspension is inadequate on a std car! brakes are OK better on the 130. Definitely suspension first - and that's before the re-map!!!!

 

[ianhg]

buy my brakes and suspension as a package if u like
