Remap recomendations [Dublin preferred]

    Hi guys did a quick search and can't find any recent threads on the subject.

    Recently bought a b5 Passat 130bhp model and was looking into getting it remapped. Can anyone recommend a good company/person to go to? I want to get it done properly a quick Google search threw up a few results but most seemed to be call out jobs that came and plugged a computer in to do it. If I'm going to do it I want it done properly. Don't mind travelling for a better service.

    Thanks in advance

    But I'm gonna ask him for permission (to share his phone etc.) first.

    And he lives in Longford.

    Martin Treacy in Westward Engineering I think does them and is top notch with his work:

    There's only a handful of guys that I use.

    Martin In Autoremap
    Joe Power
    Martin Tracey in Westward Engineering
    I also used Robbie IIRC in Trackday Performance in Rathnew some years back.

    All of the above have rolling roads for before and after runs.

    I think you'll find there most likely won't be any discussion on it. Good luck is all I'll say!

    Does anyone have a number for joe power?

    Also how long does the remap take? Any ideas cost wise? Hoping to get it done in the next few weeks depending on new babies arrival.

    Is he still working there? I was told he's no longer working from there but black church motors and you have to ring his mobile or something.

    What kind of money are you talking?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,001 ✭✭✭LawlessBoy


    The only one I've been in contact with so far is martin in auto remap haven't had the chance to give Joe power and all yet. Martin gave me a price of 350 for the remap with dyno results before and after. Sounds like a great price to me especially with the results shown right in front of you on paper


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,224 ✭✭✭✭Marty McFly


    That number isn't much use I've rang it a few times now and got no answer :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,360 ✭✭✭✭bazz26


    Ring Black Church Motors and see if he is still working there.
