Post by: topher on 11 April 2005, 23:22: based on customer service.. availability and average results it has to be revo everytime for me .. certain "other" tuners just didn't seem to want to make any effort.. no names mentioned, but you'll never see me recommend them :grin:

Post by: GazB on 12 April 2005, 20:49: Jabba sport claim this, might be worthasking a few people with thier chips what they are getting.

I got revo and rolling roaded @ 220bhp. Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â Also with revo everything is controled by obd2 port with a remote dongle, if you need to switch it off to take to the stealers or sumit then it is totally undetectable.

Try and get some performance figures off people and se how you go.

Jabba, Amd and revo have all got good reputations anyway

Post by: Flipmode on 24 April 2005, 18:42: I've just got a cheeky bonus from work and thinking more and more abut getting my gti t 150bhp chipped. i live reasonably close to awesome gti so Will probably go down that route with the APR Tune, i know this is going to sound really geeky but is it true that chipped cars run higher mpg than non chipped ones? i do a lot of motorway and just wondered what effects the chipping has on cruising mpg70-80 mph??? many thanks

Post by: GazB on 25 April 2005, 21:22: I went to london in feb and did 80mph all the way there and back, i averaged 37.8mpg with revo
