Had my leon mapped by Jabba, stage 2 is a custom map so you can have it mapped how you like.....very pleased with them :)

Go for someone not too far from you, in case of issues. (or where you'd be willing to travel back to if you have to)
Go for a remap based on the company reputation, and how they treat you when you speak to them.

I'd rather have good after-sales service and such over a difference of 5-10bhp any day. I'm speaking from experience with a very unhelpful tuner...

i agree 100% but luckily i have a very good tuner next to me so my choice was very easy

im +1 for p-torque great smooth and strong map, power doesnt tail off until just after 4k rpm Will had done a grand job, personally i got 180bhp on a stage 1 with 300ft/lb so i would have thought a decnet stage 2 to take to closer to the 200 mark??

has anyone that had a ptorque stage one then needed to upgrade their clutch? ive just bought a tdi 130 and even though i decided to keep her totally standard...this rempa malarky seems just too tempting!

You shouslnt need a new cluth with most maps, its when you start adding more power you need to really, some clutches give easily at 300 ft lb but some have lasted a long time with more than that.

got stage 1 p-torque remap on mine...figures of 177bhp and 300lbs torque before i got decat pipe so hopefully bit more...been on car for 20k now and no slip as of yet...

if your looking at stage 2 you will need FMIC, full exhaist system, uprated clutch, pd160 intake and panel filter....might as well just go stage 3 with a hybrid turbo

A Stage 1 remap is designed to work on a standard car and its OEM parts. Upgrading parts only depends if you might be chasing more power in the future, then its worth it!
