Hi all, wanting to get my mk4 remapped but had mixed opinions about it? I have a 2.0 5 gear manual 102bhp but been told if I map it it’ll just blow my gearbox?
How true is this and how long have you guys had them mapped with the same spec as mine?
Thanks.

Hi,
I also have a mk4 2.0 ltr (albeit a 6 speed) that has a Celtic map which takes it from 140 up to 193, no problems and would definitely recommend it

Re: Remapping
I have the 5 manual 102bhp and been told the gearbox is obviously different and wouldn’t last and could blow it I want to know if anyone else who has the same as me has just had it mapped for a long time and been okay with it?
Thanks.

Re: Remapping
the 5sp box will easily take way more than your clutch can hold so i wouldnt worry about it, the issue is the stock 5sp clutch kit will start to slip if you push too much torqure through them

Re: Remapping
You’re right, mine is limited to 355 Nm cause of the stock clutch
I’ve got 195.8 bhp

Re: Remapping
Does it cost much if it does start to slip mate or isn’t it too bad? Thanks guys

Re: Remapping
you cand always buy a golf mk4 o2m or golf mk5 o2q gearbox and have that fitted if it causes your clutch to slip.
i doubt you will damage your gearbox its more likely the clutch might slip if its pushed close to 180 but that can be helped by gradually bringing the power in
