Previously having had my TDi75 remapped and being somewhat disappointed with the end result; I decided to bow to the expertise of the Stealth guys, (and girl), just like many other members, to see if things could be rectified.
My initial remap found 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear perform better than standard, but 4th and 5th under heavier loading, seemed only marginally better and was in fairness, poor compared to the other three.
Today in the hands of the ‘magician’ that is ‘Vince’; I have seen a pleasant transformation. Whilst the original remap was ‘generic’ to the A2, at Stealth, Vince was able to tinker with the set-up fully courtesy of the rolling road. The results are evident:-
Initial Remap
BHP :- 101.4 @ 3936 rpm
Torque :- 182.5lbft @ 2391 rpm
Stealth Remap
BHP :- 100.2 @ 3822 rpm
Torque :- 213.4lbft @ 2182 rpm
Although the BHP is comparable with the original remap, the huge gain in torque and overall driveability of the car thanks to the improved power delivery is awesome. The power is delivered smoother and more refined than before and the journey home was a blast to say the least. The Stealth crew genuinely do ensure that the paying customer is left happy and to this end Vince spent several hours hunched over the laptop tweaking away.
A big thanks to Vince, (the remap Guru), and crew for confirming my decision not to replace my A2 with a TT was the right one and for making me appreciate this great little car once again.
Special thanks also to Robin, for our chats during those few hours, for the ‘mud flaps’ and for clearing out my sooty engine and testing my brakes!!
Stealth Racing verdict 10/10.
Cheers,
Darren
