Mapped GTi's on Stock?

Post by Polo96CL »

Hey guys,

I'm interested in a 9n3 GTi (from Modded9N) on here but it's being returned to stock engine wise. It's got a stage 2 Revo map on it, which i'm worried about because it's running stock. Whats it going to run like? Can I get it reflashed back to OEM or even Stage 1? I'm not looking for big power figuares, infact i'd even like stock 150BHP :lol:

Any thoughts or knowledge on the matter?

The car must be remapped. You don't have to get a revo dealer to do it if there is not one close.
I would avoid going to revo direct as they will charge mega for it really

Me mate paid 400 for revo to put him back to standard

Thats a LOT of money and would rather get it remapped to stage 1 instead of going stock if I had to pay for it to be mapped again.

you can get the revo switch to turn the stage 2 off to run a 'normal' map

the stage 2 will be still on it just not 'on'

thats what mine is at the minute through the winter!

Its up to revo of course but I would doubt very much that you would have to pay for it to be taken down a map. after all, stage 2 is in essence stage 1 but with a few things turned up slightly higher because the week links in the chain i.e exhaust and intake have been upgraded.

so when you think about stage 2 as actually a stage 1+ map i dont see why the wouldnt take it down to normal stage 1 for nothing.

When I had mine mapped they agreed that minor tweeks will be done for nothing, they even offered me stage 2 for nothing if i bought the exhaust etc from them!

Interesting Chris, thanks for the info.

Looks like it's something that Will (modded9n) would get done for me if I bought the car, but would have it tuned to stage 1 as it would be a shame not to :lol:

Just an air filter and cold air feed for stage 1 + the remap?

That's it, and an aftermarket recic valve, I had the forge one.

I must say as the comment above that it's a huge shame for the car to be taken back to standard, the car was setup almost perfectly and looked amazing, to bring it back to standard is a sacrilege and a terrible shame.

May I ask why you are looking at buying a car that has been returned to standard from being modified?

In my eyes you buy a standard car for the knowledge that you know everything hasn't been tinkered with or driven to hard in its life. You buy a modified car like this because it's quicker than the rest but you accept that it's probably been driven harder than average in its lifetime, but buying a car that's been modified and then returned to standard to me is illogical. I'd much rather buy a single owner standard car that's been driven like a granny all it's life and then do what you will with it.

Good news about the map.
