Default new remap(not zt though)

holy she ite, just had car remapped to around 260 bhp and around 500nm torque, pure mental, and loads of fun with rear wheel drive, was dry yesterday and could drive it proper, but in the damp it is impossible to release full power, when i had the zt i thought the 160 map was good and it was , but this is just insane, and all kept within what the car can handle without going new turbo oil cooler etc.dont even want a decat or loud exhaust as the v6 gives plenty of roar,hope this hasnt bored yous with not owning a zt anymore.

i actually drive this car more carefully than the zt, think its with rear wheel drive and getting used to it, i think front wheel drive cars give more feedback through the steering than a rear whell drive.

You say they only get 244bhp yet they could probably achieve the 260 but just dial it back for reliability

It was the case for my old golf TDI standard was 115 and the majority said 155 yet one company claimed 180, I questioned a couple of the 155 companies and they said it was from a reliability point not to go any higher

no, there software is different, when you look on there website they give you a ballpark figure, the guy who did mine has the k-tag which all the german dealerships use ie merc bmw audi and vw,thegearbox and clutch on my car can easily take the 260, the zt used to put a smile on my face, but this car now puts an entirely different expression on my face
