EDIT: out-of-date thread, I already did the remap here:
http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=129649.20 (http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=129649.20)
Now details of the Golf R are being published, I feel I absolutely need the 275hp that Revo Teknik are promising on my GTI :laugh: I just rang them and they said they would be at the Audi International Show on Oct. 10th (I guess this is the equivalent of GTI International, http://www.audidriverinternational.co.uk/ (http://www.audidriverinternational.co.uk/)). I thought this would be an opportunity to get a whacking great discount (CustomCode are advertising 40% off in this month's Audi Driver), but the guy I spoke to said it would be a last minute decision and at the moment, they had no intention of offering any discount :sad:
What do you reckon?

Do it, then I'll know whether to or not :wink:

I am defo giving revo a call within the next month!! Hit 1000 miles today and will be putting on another 500 or so over the weekend... I just know I need that extra power :evil:

I already did it ages ago, do it.......

hows the revo treating you gossa??

If we tell them 3 or 4 of us are coming to the show, do you think we can get near the 40% discount CC are advertising?

Amazing, truly. I can't think that I'd want anything faster on a public road, doesn't understeer, loose traction (unless you drive it like a nob). It really isn't the 'throw you in the back of the seat' powerful that some people talk about but it is a lot quicker than stock and sounds a lot better.
They were doing about 30% off at GTI international. I've got the select plus switch but have never used it.

Thanks for the feedback. Did you get yours done at GTI International, then? Would I need to make an appointment, or do you just turn up? How long did it take them to do it? Finally, what is their policy on redoing the work should your car be 'reset' by th dealer during a service?
TIA :smiley:

Turbo cars all require a remap lol
275bhp is also impressive for JUST a remap, an extra 67 with just a remap?? :undecided:
Im just speculating here, I know nowt about the new 2.0T engine.

what prevents the mk5 from acheiving the same gains with a remap is the fuel pump, the mk6 gti has an improved fuel pump which flows better and hence you see better gains after the remap
upgrade your mk5 to a high pressure fuel pump along with a suitable map (not sure if R-tech support this but both APR and Revo do) and you will see improved gains, especially in the mid range.

its best off investing in a decent map from a reputable company - revo/apr etc, after investing £23k+ in a car whats another £500 to make sure you get a good one!

Good info there, James. Ta! BTW, I love that tax disc holder :grin:

FYI just because R-Tech are cheaper doesnt mean its any worse. I would make sure you get one from someone with a good reputation and get reviews from people with first hand experience of the map. I dont think R-Tech are dealing with the MK6 yet.

very few people are due to it being a Bosch ME19 (something like that) ECU which is rather difficult to crack open by all accounts :undecided:
Give it a few months and I'm sure R-Tech will be upsetting the big boys again :grin: :grin: :grin:
Their MK4 and MK5 maps are very good indeed :cool:
-
All being well, I should be at Combe on the 10th too so will be interested to see what REVO can offer on the day. I didn't see many mk6s at the Autometrix track day in July so hopefully a few more at Audi Driver Int.? Mini meet time? :smiley:
-
i would have a gander over on golfmkv.com as the yanks have had this new TSI engine in their MK5 for over a year now, and will be way ahead in development over UK tuners which is why revo and apr who operate in both countries are releasing their software first.
apr also make a might fine looking intake for the tsi too: http://www.goapr.com/products/intake_carbonio_20tsi.html
happy modding! :evil:

Another good point. Well done, that man.

Just keep pestering them. Ask them to match their offer of this years GTI International, and <cough> remind them <cough> that their pitch at Combe probably wont be costing anywhere near as much as Bruntingthorpe! :wink:

If they are there, just turn up without any kind of 'appointment', and they will flash it for you whilst you wait - about 20 minutes. OK, if they are having a particularly busy period, there may be a bit of waiting for one of their techies or agents to become free. And they will authorise the free re-flash, should a dub stealer over-wright the Revo, though that might mean another trip back to the UK. Don't France have any Revo agants? Maybe you could offer to be their first into the Gallic territory! :lipsrsealed: :grin:
