P-Torque Remap West Mids

I had my 2004 Fr TDi130 Ibiza done by him, very nice lad and the service was top notch.
The remap it's self is good, he tunes more on the high boost and less black smoke than other tuners do.
The remap, straight through stainless, FMIC, uprated dog mount and panel filter show a reliable 178bhp and those figures
have been proven on a set of well known rollers at a tuners in leeds, they said the boost at 1.5bar under full load is a bit high and that they could remap it to the same figures with less boost but more black smoke.
On the day quite a few owners were left red faced when the cars didn't do the predicted figures, mine was over the top!!
 
Will is a top guy. If your from the midlands why don't you pop over to Shark @ Mansfield next bank holiday Monday and get your car mapped? There will be offers on the day like
 
A few years back i had my 130 Golf GT TDI mapped by Will. This was before he had his unit and he did it in his garage at home.

Nice bloke, seemed to know his stuff, I never had a problem with the map.
 
I had my current A3 2.0TDI-140 remapped by Will at P-Torque back in October 2009. Very pleased with the service and the result. Would throughly recommend P-Torque.

He is a Top BLoke and knows his stuff.

he charges for your car between £265 and £299 with before and after power runs on the rolling road,

drop him an email as he is away this week but is responding to emails.

Cheers guys :icon_thumright:
 
Now what kind of increase in insurance premium would be expected? Any ideas?

If chosen to be disclosed that is.

"your A3 is £295.00 all in to remap. Power is increased to 190hp and 300lbs/ft torque. Dyno runs are included"

I like these figures!

I wouldn't remap your A3 to 190 BHP. I'm speaking from experience here, i did the same admittedly it was mapped by Will @ P-Torque, but the turbo went bang on my old 140 TDI DSG not long after, it was rolling roaded before and after. After it hit 190.2 BHP on the rollers.

If i was to remap my new A3 i'd be willing to go to around 170 BHP, 190 BHP is too much for the turbo, a new turbo will cost you around £1000.

This is something that concerns me... I would also like a remap soon but I am slightly worried about what it will do to the engine/turbo. My girlfriends dad's Golf GT TDi was remapped about 6 months ago and then the turbo went last week!

Could be a complete coincidence though as the car has done just over 100k.

Am I right to be concerned about remaps, or is it all just scare mongering?

Aiden you got your current car mapped, I wouldn't say the turbo went due to the map.

Nope it's not mapped I'm trying my best to refuse to do it although the temptation is getting to me. I'll regret it if i do map it and 5000 miles later it goes bang like the previous one.

My previous A3 was mapped by RS Tuning in Leeds, it drove great and was fair nippy but i can't justify having to wax £1000 having the turbo fixed again.

To be fair my A3 had done around 70K when the turbo popped, i was the first owner of it so i don't know how the car had be treated before i owned it.

Remappers (going from what they've told me) do tend to say that the 2.0L TDI 140 turbo isn't the strongest of units, they'll be plenty of remapped 2.0L TDI 140s and the owners haven't had a problem and then they'll will be owners, such as myself who have.. It's just a heck of a lot of money to put it right if it does fail. The turbo could fail at any time but in my opinion remapping them does shorten the life of a turbo.

That said, i can't say i'll never remap a car again because they do transform the car but i think i would only do this with a 3rd party warranty in place, then again there's no guarantees that the warranty company will pay out either is there.

How can you explain a turbo failing on a non mapped car then?

a turbo can go if its got 500 miles or 150k on it, the turbo is the weakest part of an engine regardless if its been mapped or not.

a map is not the only thing that can cause the turbo to go, it can be down to poor servicing or even not letting the car cool after a run,

my mate used to have a 07 megane r26 230hp from new and the turbo went at 4500 miles, completly standard car?? no answers to it.

Exactly the weakest part of the engine in your opinion. So if its the weakest part of the engine and you're putting around 30% increase of power through it do you not think that's going to have some sort of negative effect?

My car was serviced every 10K and was left to warm up and cool down, standard procedure for me on any turbo charged car.

Unlucky for your mate.

I think you are correct, some cars need the turbo replacing after running a map for a while and some don't, i was just trying to make the OP aware that this may/may not be the case with them N8.

:icon_thumright:
 
I think i will let my Turbo die before i even consider a map .Im no Nigel Mansell ,I prefer to tick around ,And my 140 bhp is adequate enough for the speed limits we have ;).Whats the point of 500 bhp on a 30 mph limit with cameras watching all around etc etc .I might map for MPG .:p

I think so too although, i have had higher powered cars than this A3 but MPG is what i am after at the moment especially with the cost of motoring at the moment. :icon_thumright:
 
Hi all, I've recently had remap by will at p-torque, I've got a3 2.0 tfsi , wow after remap my car is a different beast( 255 bhp and 265 pft)
