You definitely should notice an improvement in acceleration, it's a 15% gain. It's not going to blow your mind but you should notice it between 2500 and 5000 rpm really. I think remaps tend to be more noticeable in sport or track mod due to the sharper throttle.

 

Did you install it? Could it have failed to fully install?

 

I don't know about the M235 but the Dreamscience is night and day. When i turned it back to stock for the service the car felt pretty slow. It sounds like you should have gone for the M260.

 

Tsots' old boy, i'm not angry, I'm just disappointed 🤦🏻

But I can still just about see your shoes poking out of the mapping and modding rabbit hole.

Would you like me to pull you back out before you become a total lost cause?

🤣

With the family wagon looming in the distance, I thought I would give it a go before it’s too late 😆

 

How does the torque compare to standard, bearing in mind the 8.5 already has an increase (I think)?

 

The torque is advertised of reaching 350, up from 290 on the Mk8.

 

I did think about the M260, however I didn’t want to have to spend too much on hardware upgrades. All the reviews on the M235 have been positive, albeit more conservative than the rest of the ‘stage 1’ maps, but I still was hoping for more…I’m going to give it another go tonight with a different map and see…

 

Let us know how it goes tonight, you should definitely feel a difference.

 

I have a 5 door already to facilitate the first stages of baby transportation…but I mean the dreaded SUV. 😑

 

Boo, never, over my dead body etc.
My family got by with 4 boys in a Ford Anglia.
No need for an SUV at all.

 

Those running the M235, do you think as Ken suggests, that maybe it didn’t write properly?

 

I installed m235 after about a week of owning mine and it did make a noticeable difference. I'm running m260 now (and keeping a close eye on m285).

You could try doing the "no lift shift" thing to confirm if it's installed.

 

Sounds plausible.

When I mapped my Mk7 from standard to CP2, which is a similar sort of increase, it was 100% noticeable, a very different car.

 

And the relevance of that is what exactly?

 

Really, that needs explaining?

The increase is similar and it was noticeable. Whereas he's mapped his and said it felt no different, when it should most definitely be.

 

Update.
Did the stock to remap again and it appears to have solved the issue oddly! The car is a lot faster and the extra torque is awesome. The pops and bangs are much more numerous, although they don’t sound as loud, perhaps a new exhaust is needed now…😬. I will definitely need to buy a new torque mount as try as I do to modulate the throttle, it does wheel hop quite a bit now with the extra power, maybe I’ll learn to put it down better once when the novelty has worn off…m260 must be insane.

I had the same issue. Went for a Mountune one. Had no issues since and connects the car to the road much better including a better gearbox/gear change feel. Not too bad with the A/C on at standstill either.

 

I installed my m235 not so long ago and it is noticeably different, especially in 3rd gear and above. More mid range punch, more so when in sport or track. There is slightly more lag I find though now. Takes a split second more to come on boost but really pulls well.

 

Maybe similar to the MK7 when people (myself included) had the Mountune 215 kit fitted. Some people raved about it but some people (again myself included) could hardly tell the difference.

 

What does ASMO mean please?

 

"Anti Social Mountune Overrun"

 

I've found the same with the Dreamscience map.
Standard maps (95/ 97/ 99) - no pops at all, DS say the factory overrun is mapped out which is why so you have to buy the overrun map £50
Overrun 99 map - pops in neutral while stationary, can't hear anything on the move so not worth £50 if you're wanting noise but does enable launch full time (never used it)

 

...it goes up to eleven 🤘🏻
