Nice one Dom, remapping made clear. I think a soft ware map is for me, l am quite fond of my clutch !! Was good to see you on Sunday.✌️
Hi there, thanks for sharing this, we did actually a few tests on the bench at EMS Motorsport in Paris. The reality of the power gain with only a bigger air intake and larger exhaust pipe, fitting a competition filter or not is minimal, as is the gain from a greater gas outlet = 5hp in most cases (for gaz outlet it doesn't even change anything). Therefore there's no real interest if we compare the net power gain (especially with a turbo) on certain vehicles by simply reprogramming the stoichiometric engine management (10 to 20% ). The power/price gain ratio on engine parts only justifie when there's a need to increase more than 50% from its original power, or more... Also the 4 cylinder 20V 1,8lt has limited connecting rods and will brake if you go over 420Nm this might be a limit on the choice of the kind of stage you swap the car without having to change the original rods and much more. A bad example not to follow is that of Humblemecanics where even with a big turbo it does not exceed 200hp - (I think it was a 180ch TT and guess he didn't reprogrammed it) other wise there are also many other very successful swap on the TT but what we see most often is the replacement of the intercooler which again is absolutely ineffective below 300hp just like replacing the air intake or the exhaust line. All these modifications are only justified from 300hp. Below that, a good reprogramming allows a TT quattro of 225hp to easily pass the 250hp bar as long as you provide it with the quantity of gasoline (i.e. respectively 400cc/min for 225hp or 450cc/min for 250hp) translate in US gallon per hour (38,67lb/h for 225hp). Another good thing to do at first is to install a pedal box and a quick shifter, those give without any other changes allready a total different driving feeling. Cheers from Geneva Switzerland
Fabulous video Dom! Lots of great info there that seems to get asked on the various FB groups. Top drawer as always!
thanks dude, yeah for sure i see one of the video questions asked at least once a day, hopefully this will reduce some of the unknown haha :)
Dom, you have certainly made my understanding of remapping clearer and now I know what I need to do for stage 1, stage 2 and stage 3 if wanted to take it that far. Keep up the great work you are doing :)
Thank you. Glad it’s helped
Awesome video man, literally just crossed my mind as getting close to mapping sometime early next year :D
Brilliant, now you’ve got a video checklist to make your mapping session run smoothly 😎
Just bought mine, 225 Quattro on 109k miles, proper looked after with servicing etc, loving the stock power but looking at mapping in the new year… this is highly informative, THE best TT channel on UA-cam in my opinion… thank you Parrott Bro’s😎
Thank you for the kind words, it's really appreciated. Sounds like you've got a nice one there, if you are tuning it I would recommend going to somewhere where they do a health check and a rolling road to prove everything is working okay, any questions you know where to find me
@@TheParrottBros Yep she’s a real beauty and the drive is amazing! I really appreciate that my friend thank you, getting a health check done is one of the first things on my list as well as a full service etc👍🏼
This is super useful. Thanks!
Brilliant glad it’s gonna be put to good use 😂
Great video dom 👌
Thanks buddy 👌🏻
I had mine done a couple of years back after fitting a cat back scorpion system & RamAir induction. It was down a bit to start, 194 at the flywheel but it came out at 251 and the driveability was great. Well mannered in traffic and a much nicer shove when on boost. I've just changed all the charge pipework for Forge electric blue ones and the heat shield you recommended arrived from David Clarke too with my ProRam filter. It looks great under the bonnet now. I did the interior clean & seat delete in the summer so winter will be cleaning the underside with braded brake & fuel lines. I'm really down the rabbit hole with this one 😂 😂
Hahah it’s funny how quick it goes from a few little bits to full restomod 😂. That heat shield is a work of art isn’t it.
Yeah that’s a nice power gain, certainly will notice that for sure. I wouldn’t be surprised if 25% of all old turbo cars are not down on original power due to issues
thank you for the vid
Thanks for watching
Useful video dom got my clutch and pipewerx downpipe fitted and AP coilovers front mount intercooler next then another remap
Awesome! That will be a beast when finished 😎
@@TheParrottBros lol hopefully m8 i will meet you guys next year m8
@@audittrs2885 yeah gotta be man 👌🏻
I like this video, If I should have my 225 done early year will be referring to this
Brilliant, a lot like most of the videos on the channel. It’s nice to know they are there should you ever need them 😂😎
Great video Dom. I will do the stage 1 map from swedish BSR later. It gives +47hp and a extra 118nm of torque on a BAM engine. Looking forward to this upgrade
That will be a pleasant increase 😂
@@TheParrottBros indeed 😁
If you change the map change the gap on your plugs as well.
Great vid again Dom 👍 Thought I'd leave a comment to see if anyone has remapped a 3.2 MK1 TT... Obviously being non turbo, you only gain 20-25 bhp/torque so wondering if it's even worth it/you notice the difference 😊
There was a few 3.2’s at the rolling road day if you have a look on my channel events playlist. It’s a nice little extra push if you know what I mean. It’s the cheapest way of getting a little more power. As after that your into cams and head work which is 🤑🤑🤑. Haha. Thanks for the comment 👌🏻
As always, useful and the the point. But could you recommend someone in Kent, want to do a whole load to my TT but I’m not mechanically minded- there’s got to be some good guys in Kent that can do stuff?
I don’t personally know anyone in Kent, a friend of mine uses a place called Jr tuning and Wealden garage. Both on Instagram. Jr tuning did his map and Wealden garage fitted the coilovers, downpipe and decat. He was happy with both
Thanks for the great recommendations. What would be the stock psi for the 180 and 225 motors?
Usually it’s about 8-10psi on a 180, a little more on a 225, 12-14psi / 1bar buddy
Great info . Just had mine mapped and it made the clutch slip . Have you any advise on a replacement for a MK1 225
Hey Simon, it depends on power. Usually it’s just because your clutch is tired. A new genuine clutch will be fine if stage1/2 usually. You may well need to replace the dual mass at the same time
Hello I have my Audi TT remapped stage 1 by Rhino it’s quite a while now as asks for the receipt and I was told He is going to send me by email,but never received any email . So I have no Idea how much power my car gain.and if I changed to down pipe do i need still to remapped my car . I got militic exhaust. and planning to install an inter cooling.
Hi, thanks a lot for your videos 😉
What do you think about e85 fuel ?
I’ll be honest I don’t know what E85 converts to in UK fuel spec, anyone us can help?
Brilliant Info, 👍👍, we had a map put on L200 , 2015 series 4, it's starting to struggle when in a traffic jam, slow crawling , wants to cut out we found a small vac hose spilt from the boost
Would this be causing the prob as its been mapped with this also egr hasn't got a blanking plate. Also its idling just below 600, could you please give me some light🙏 as I'm been told differently by the mapper.
Thank you
It’s hard to judge from the outside but a vacuum leak won’t help, if your egr has been blanked out of map and needs a blanking plate then would need doing
Big thank you for getting back, I will look into a blanking plate if needed and see if this works , great vids 👍 👌
Hey, i'm currently driving an MK1 180 FWD from 2003, and i found this company, BSR Tuning, that offers a remap with their onwn portable computer PPC3, and just wanted to know if anyone had ever experinced any problems with said company. Thanks!
As for that company i can't say i have heard of them, the only thing to consider when using mobile mapping company is they do not dyno your car and this means they won't check your pre and post map fueling & running stats, so you for example could have a boost leak, weak fuel pump etc but they won't see this when mapping your car.
Just something to think about
Is there anywhere I can get a diagram on the vacuum hose layout as I have a slight wiggle on my revs when sat at idle. But I don’t know what pipe does what 😂 think it may have a leak. It’s a 180 1.8t tt. Thanks in advance!!!
Yeah sure man, check this out. It may be wrong depending on engine code but it’s for 180hp
A smoke test will show any leaks a lot easier that just searching alone. But if you can’t get one then just check physical look.

Look at the ones with your engine code
@@TheParrottBros brilliant thanks a lot I really appreciate it 👍🏻
@@adamshaw1032 Anytime
Hello. Do I need a remap if I just want to fit an induction kit like the RamAir you have videos on? I've just got a 225 tt and satisfied with the power but want to hear that turbo noise.
The car is completely standard btw
You can fit parts that help breathing without the need to map it. The car will see that it has more air coming in and adjust furling to suit.
Obviously a map will make the most of the filter but isn’t required.
Enjoy the turbo sounds 😍
@@TheParrottBros thanks man!
How does that work with 3.2 v6. Had remap done same time as cat back an sport cat so can get dsg farts great in sport mode but anything i need look out for?
I will add video tomorrow of sport mde for your page fyi you guys awesome helped so much
Love the dsg farts 😎. Not really mate apart from chain stretch and normal mechanical issues. Yeah send me a link when the video is live
GUYS i need your help. Im lost and cant find the source of my problem.
After driving for some time could be 10-30 minutes when in right hand turns i hear a knocking-ish sound from the front left tire area. But the sound only appears after some time but everytime when turning right and driving i hear the sound. After some days not touching the car its gone and then after 10-30 min it starts again.... audi tt mk1 1.8 non quattro
I would systematically check components, but if only happens when warm that will rule out a few things. is it a rotational noise, like cv, gearbox etc?
@@TheParrottBros i would almost describe it as somrthing is scrapping my brake discs they are pretty worn and have a lip on them maybe something isdragging along there. Soundincreases in freqeuncy the faster i go yes
@@Mixnar98 If its rotational it could be a caliper slightly binding, so when hot does it. warn cv again when hot causing issue, surely a garage or someone mechanical could diagnose it if you took it there when doing it
@@TheParrottBros thats the problem they did not find anything but il go to another garage and see if they find the sound. its also very random to reprosuce so that doesnt help but il take the wheel of and check for caliper wobble, the boot ob the cv is atleast intact....
@@TheParrottBros I also have a hard time rotating the break discs im not sure if they should move freely with the wheel and and handbrake off? they move but i need a firm hand placement on it to make it move
No fault codes on a TT, are you mad ? ;) hahahahahahahahaha
