Golf GTD Remap at 60k?

Happy Sunday everyone.

I've enjoyed driving my GTD over the last six months of ownership but having seen a BMW 335D in action I'm interested in a little more speed. :D

Has anyone got any advice on tuning a 2014 manual GTD with 60k miles?

I'm not sure if the clutch is the original, I would imagine it is. There is currently no slipping in any gear and seems to engage strong. However, I've also heard that the DMF's can fail on these and begin to shudder while running more power?

The german car specialist/tuner local to me did a MK7.5 manual GTD recently and the owner is over the moon with it still a few months down the line.

Any help appreciated, Mike.

It will never b any where near a 335d let alone a mapped 335
My gtd is mapped with bluefin at 11k I'm disgusting I see no problem mapping a manual. If the clutch is going to go it would go either way as there not a great clutch for other reasons do it you love it but stopppig it will be next problem if your a late breaker like myself 8 pots Audi rs calipers and 365mm wavy rs discs front and rear with r calipers.

Just had mine remapped at Ecotune-scotland.co.uk. Yesterday. Only driven a few miles so far but very impressive!!

The car was running at 190bhp 297ftlbs standard and tuned up to 234bhp 353ftlbs. 44bhp 56ftlbs gain. But the biggest difference was the top end where theres roughly a 100bhp and 100 ft lbs of a difference as the power and torque take longer to tail off.

They spent roughly 3 hours with the car and their service was awesome.

Those are some nice figures! What mileage are you on?

Reviving this thread, I've 64k on my car and considering a remap. It's a good tight car with FSH. I am based in Ireland so my tuning options are quite limited, there are two well known tuners with dyno's who I was considering and one Revo agent in the whole of the republic. A lot of back yard tuners with laptops going around alright. Revo is quite expensive for what it is (€525 incl VAT) so I was in touch with one of the other tuners who has assured me there should be no issues with clutch/DMF/Turbo etc.

Have any of you guys had any issues, especially as more mileage has gone on your cars? Hope to keep mine another three years at least so don't want to mess with it's reliability but would love a little more poke, I am coming from a Stage 1 Fiesta ST so the GTD feels a little dead in comparison.

Had my old mk6 gtd remapped at 100k, like night and day, a truly quick car, no issues at all, son in law has it now.
My mk7 gtd was remapped 6k, no issues either.

I'm at 35k and mapped since 10k with no issues. Check out carbon tuning, that's who did mine and offer a very good service which you can do from home yourself
