Title: Hmmmm
Post by: XMC1980 on 01 May 2014, 20:02: I went to reading today and collected an armrest I had won on fleabay, on arrival I noticed they were Vw tuners and dealt with revo software, so obv I posed a question or 2... I said that I had a recent rebuild and newly run in turbo and was running a stage 1 rtech, and asked what was needed for a stage 2 with revo, he said all I needed was 4 bar fuel reg and turbo back exhaust, he said intake and fmic were optional not required, which made me think they are a bit shabby? Full miltek turbo back was £1160 plus 60 fitting and stage 2 was 379 plus vat!
So nearly 1750 for that lot..... Am I wrong or would you be crazy to not fit a fmic?

Armrest was good though! Fitted it in 20min :)

I think that will prob be a generic map, and if that's all thats needed for a stage 2 then I think no one would get a stage 1 if really it's just a free flowing exhaust that's needed extra!!!!

I love avoiding revo, one less than a mile from my house yet I still drove to r-tech, and will be again for my custom hybrid map :evil:

Yeah that's including a sports cat etc.... £470 is a bit much for a cat back system? I can get a miltek cat back for £379

Non resonated are £410 from me (I can't get close to £379 as there's not enough margin! Typical of all brands, they offer 10-15% off rrp to small traders and double that for the big spenders who then just undercut us making it impossible to get the higher discounts!)
