Revo over the years seems to be the most popular  one of choice by owners on here.
Mk6 GTI  &  Mk1 GTI

right beside my work...
but the gains vs Ecotune are quite sizeable and tuning seems to be not their main thing which puts me off

If it is the twin charger engine? then I would opt for a milder tune.
Mk6 GTI Carbon Grey, 2010 Bluetooth and voice fitted, a few VCDS mods still a comfortable family car. Red Scirocco 2011 twin charger stage 1 - enjoyable drive now gone.  White 2016 Polo GTI (roller skate on steroids) replaced with an Indium Grey 2019 7.5 GTI PP.
