Nope.
Asked Awesome GTI if they would look at it, but they declined.
I might ask The Vehicle Tuner (also in Warrington), but I currently have a coolant leak to sort out.

A change is what I am trying to arrange. But I’m not sure how I get around the presence of the existing map. So, if I am not happy with a new map, will they put it back to standard, or put the Pendle map back? I’ve even found myself hoping that VW bring out a software update, that will overwrite it so I can start from scratch.
Me too, just over 10k on it with the map on now.
Well @Dav-Tec worked their magic on my TSI last week, changing the map from Pendle to theirs and after some varied driving, I can report that the hesitation has gone. I have confirmed this by using manual mode and cruise control to fix the revs at points that I knew were very uneven before (80mph in 5th was a bad point – especially up a long, steep hill on the A590 in Cumbria). I have now driven slow country lanes, open A roads with overtaking, motorways and in town, loaded & empty, and have been unable to fault it. The engine feels as powerful as before (though less manic), so I am very happy. The claimed power may be less than Pendle‘s 304bhp but I can’t say that I’ve noticed (apparently the calculated power with the Pendle map was only 13bhp more anyway) so maybe that 304 figure was as optimistic as others have suggested.
I had this issue after installing the Forge cooler and hoses, very slight though. I put it down to the larger volume increasing the turbo lag. Certainly more consistent on hot days now though.
Having a sports cell cat down pipe made up next week and then stage 2 engine map with DSG done at Bognor on the Friday, very interested to see the results.
I have just gone with a Revo panel filter as I don't want a noisy induction kit and I can't see it making a blind bit of difference in the real world.
Gathering the parts to 4motion it once the power is overcoming the front wheel grip.
BR,

I would be very interested to hear how that goes - I always wanted the 4wd version that wasn’t imported to UK and have wondered how possible that is.
Worked out that is is possible, just need to get a flash off a LHD LWB 4motion TSI as I can't see the option in the long coding helper.

Any pictures of the work you have had done?
Hi did RFK Demon start on the 4motion conversion ? I f so would a 4motion from a tdi fit a tsi as i'd imagine getting the parts from a crashed tdi would be the cheapest way , i have read on the forum that someone got it converted in the Uk with Oem parts but it was £15k+ .. I'd be happy with permanent 4 wheel drive and not using the haldex with ecu but i'm not sure if that would be possible ? Thanks Denzil
