I would like to pick your brains or the re-map of a 2.0 TSI Roc..
I have heard about "revo map" and been on there website and from what I can see you can gain 35-45 bhp through a stage 1 - I think this is just a basic map with no other mods - does anyone know a cost For this?? Or an apron cost for a map at any other place you might have been??
Insurance - dose anyone report to there insurance realistically that they have had a map?
Is it possible to remove and replace map before and after a VW service as not to interrupt with warranty? Also could it be done after a incident (crash) if your insures didn't know? I don't think it likly that they would look but I'm sure it always better to be safe that sorry!
My revo map is declared to my insurers and I wouldn't consider not declaring it. With revo if you have the select+ switch you can turn the map to the revo stock map - it doesn't return the car to the standard map though just the revo version of standard - for when you take the car for servicing, etc.
Hard to say on the insurance as it wasn't my first mod - roughly £100 I think. Can't remember how much it cost and I got it at a show offer price with the switch thrown in too so probably not reflective of the current pricing anyway. Bhp was about 210 / 220 after map (mines a 1.4 though not a 2.0).

As I said hard to say exactly how much was the map. When I had it done it was about £50 extra till renewal time. When renewal came there were other mods as well. I believe vw are a little under generous in reporting it as 160 as stock. Had the car rolling roaded twice while mapped - one gave 210, one 220. It was then rolling roaded again with the itg and that showed around 220/230 bhp.
AMD Essex did my mapping and I have a milltek cat back too. Think it's about £500 now for the map. Rolling roaded at 260bhp and 320 lb ft torque. My insurance went up £30 when insured with one company but now with HIC they didn't charge extra.
