I just went with my nearest which happened to be a REVO dealer and a VW specialist.

I've had tuning boxes before but this was my first proper remap...

Post by: 7MAT on 24 July 2018, 14:55: 10,000 miles with a stage 1 tune and manual gearbox - that's just too tempting.

Post by: Mike J on 25 July 2018, 10:56: Did REVO advise any modifications to your brakes or tyres?

Im assuming you informed your insurers, so what extra premium did they charge for the Stage 1?

No other mods required with stage 1. Insured from day 1 with LV as modified ECU so don't have a comparison as to what it would cost without it. I don't think it makes a big difference though.
