Stage one remapped VW Up! GTI is it worth the money? (147bhp)

I took my VW Up! GTI to JBS customers for a stage one remap.
The results were:
147BHP
176 FT.IBS Torque

Great video buddy 👍 keep them coming!

They are such a good engine. I have the Polo with the 115PS and love it

[@MotoGoYo]

I had an Up GTI for a little while after my Golf R and it was a fun little car to drive!

[@stevenhumphries110]

Nice review....

[@matimcfetridge]

Looks a right laugh! Might have to take a trip to JBS 👀

[@RicsCars]

Never fails to put a smile on my face 🙂

[@peterlewis3540]

Its certainly worth the money, if you combine their Stage 1, with a Milltek Non resonated exhaust and the Racing Line Turbo Elbow. My car was on this very rolling road in Chesterfield, back in September 2019, and the remap transformed the car

[@Gnaus76]

My warranty are gone in 2 weeks so I can’t wait to get this done 🙂 hope I get same result as you

[@RicsCars]

You won't regret it!

lucky you, mine goes for almost 5 years 🤣

Just booked mine in for apr remap on Monday, life’s too short

[@geniusme2010]

Hi I’ve already got a k@n pannel filter gunna get the turbo elbow, is pops and bangs possible with the stock exhaust? And is the stage 1 worth it

[@truckerfranglais4375]

How much would the power go up by with stage 3 tuning?

[@Maarten.1702]

Isn’t crackle overrun/ pops&bangs bad for your cat and turbo? What did JBS tell you?

[@canalcarroceiro]

If you want to spend a little bit more money, try a stage 4. Here on Brazil we already have 300+ whp Up!s and It reach 20km/l on road. You'll love It

[@-Mu-min]

How do you achieve that?

[@BoxallBoy1]

What Milltek exhaust do you have? And has the map affected the MPG? And did JBS give any warning on the extra power and torque possibly reducing the Engines lifespan?

[@RicsCars]

I have the milltek road plus exhaust, MPG seems exactly the same tbh not noticed much difference. Considering there are some Up! GTI's running 185bhp I can't see the stage one affecting the engines life span by much.

[@charliewoolley2000]

What is the 0-60 ?

[@GeorgeC-to9dh]

Is this a pre-2020 car?

[@gregorythomas7355]

Do you need the upgraded exhaust to get the pops and bangs?

[@RicsCars]

I don't think an exhaust is required, it might make the pops a bit quieter due to the centre muffler on the stock exhaust

[@69bock69]

I'm getting one. I need a daily that gives good mpg. And this thing can sit next to the r32

[@loneokami6560]

I love the R32 Skyline 😍

[@69bock69]

Smh

[@randywuite]

how does the milltek road + sounds, is it much better then stoch exhaust. I am thinking About de non res🧐

[@RicsCars]

Yeah its loads lounder than stock, I think non res will be too loud tbh I think road + is the sweet spot 👌

[@randywuite]

Thanks mate

[@timsutherland4033]

Wer yow from lol . Good little car that .

[@TherymasterWidnes]

Any change in the MPG? I’ve a GTi on a 68 plate, I’m very tempted to get it done!!!

[@RicsCars]

Not that I can tell, I would highly recommend it

[@MrSimon1909]

can you list everything you have done to the car?

[@RicsCars]

Check out the About section on my channel home page it lists everything there

@@RicsCars have you insulate the doors? mine make problems with loud music and im thinking about it.

[@Dke1999ffire]

How much can this engine give on stock internals?

[@RicsCars]

If you changed nothing at all at a guess around 142hp ish

[@Dke1999ffire]

@@RicsCars whattt that's like a stage 1 remap. People in Germany are running 220 hp on stock internals. Stock rods and pistons

[@RicsCars]

@@Dke1999ffire oh yeah of course, I thought you meant without changing anything like turbo, exhaust etc
