Hi all,
Ok I've got a mk 7 GTi performance (standard/manual) Car ran fine til I got a stg 1 custom pro remap 3 weeks ago from a highly rated company near me.
Before 238hp 360nm after 305hp 470nm
2 weeks after map all fine then noticed a different noise when in turbo. Days later noise changed to a whistle and noticed loss of power and also getting misfires and rough when idle. Same day engine light and EPC light came on. No smoke from exhaust.
Took car straight to garage after this, was 3 fault codes p21f900 (too rich b1) p013600 (02 sensor b1 malfunction) and p130a00 (hide cylinder misfires cylinder 4)
So they get back to me and say the turbo has gone which I thought.
Any of you had this happen after a map on a gti?
The tuner said he's done hundreds of gtis before but did mention that they have a weakish turbo but all should be fine and will map within "safe limits"
I'm getting the turbo replaced and map took off, hence now i wish never got it done in the first place as pretty obvious off the remap. This is my first and definitely last remap for sure.
