My son has just had his golf gti turbo remapped,the guy who did it said he would remap my disco td5 for £60, he would read a file and copy a file on the ecu do something with it and then copy it back onto the ecu is there any danger to the engine.
 
If it were up to me, I would ask some serious questions first, then listen to the advice of someone who really knows remapping the Td5 ECU.
£60 sound a bit cheap to me.
Contact Mike from Dynachip, he's the guy who knows.
 
Yup another vote for Mike at Dynachip (mine goes like stink).Seems to be bad/poor experience from others like TD5 Alive one guy thought his TD5 was still very slow, so I would avoid the others.
 
As it is a 99 model it will need a chip not just a map putting on to the ecu so will be going to a reputable garage with a guarante.
 
I believe that you can send the whole ECU to Mike at Dynachip and he will install the appropriate chip.
It can't hurt to give him a ring and ask.
 
What youll be getting is a generic map which will just inject a ton more fuel and cause it to smoke. To be honest I would be weary of the map on the Golf as well.

Get it done properly by someone who knows TD5s, such as Dynachip.

As said by others,use Mike at Dynachip,the man is a genius with re mapping,he re mapped my TD5 Disco,and the difference in the way it drove,was amazing,and for such a reasonable price.;)
