Ive have 2 AUM Golf GTIs at the moment. One has a Remap Science remap the other a Revo, and I cant tell much difference between them.
I didn't use Rtech because they only have 1 map and that is for super unleaded.
As I am not chasing BHP at a cost of travelling miles to find a 98 ron fuel supplier, I opted for these 2.
Remap Science is a custom map, and the Revo map can be tweeked slightly once installed on the car.
Ive used Revo on 2 Golf Mk4 AUMs, and think they are great.
It took Remap Science 2 attempts to get the map right, as it was loosing boost over 3000 revs. All sorted now though.

Rtech would map it fine.... You just see better results with super due to less knock allowing more timing advance to make power

Well when I asked Rtech I was told there remap is for super unleaded only, and then said I shouldn't map it for 95ron because it would damage my engine... which is rubbish.
What they meant was they cant map my car for 95 ron because they have 1 map, and its for 98 ron. Simples  :smiley:

Engine would run fine on 95.  The reason they recommend 98 or super is because it allows more timing and is generally safer as the engine does t 'knock' retard timing and power drops.  If you want a quick car you gotta put the right stuff on it.  Super only about 3p per litre more and over a tank it's about 30-50p max for a much better, smoother running motor

I got a R-tech map 241bhp I would recommend them all day long. Revo is way to aggressive especially stage 1 plus its not custom to your car. So many variables.
