Which remap to go for?

[p3asa]

(2) During the service if VW update the ECU, will I be able to re-load the REVO re-map without any problems or will the car have to be taken back to a REVO centre for a further re-map?

That has always intrigued me. If VW update the ECU they are obviously doing it for some sort of gain / stability.
If you have a Bluefin for example and return it back to the stock map, you are in effect taking it to a revision behind what is the present map!!  Or does Bluefin allow you to save over the present map?

^^ Dont know about superchips, but revo are always updating and improving their maps. Its up to you if you want to keep going back for the latest maps.

As for the dealership updating the stock map... I am quite sure the updated parameters will be also updated on the revo map

I am coming to the following conclusions:-

(1) If I re-install the REVO after the ECU has been re-flashed by VW, then I will get my original REVO re-map back which was installed with the non-flashed ECU.
(2) With Bluefin, I can re-read the newly flashed ECU, then re-load the Bluefin with the newly flashed ECU. This I cannot do with REVO, I presume, unless I go back to a REVO service centre.
(3) REVO is therefore a static installation, whereas Bluefin is a more active one.
(4) With REVO, I can disable the ECU completely to stop the car being stolen.

Are these reasonable deductions? Am I missing something? Advice most appreciated, please.

My first service on the Golf was carried out by the local VW indy specialist who supplied the Revo map. You don't have to take the car to VW for servicing so if you're worried about dealers clocking the map, don't take it there?

I called my local VW dealer to get my car booked in for the first service, thought it best to take it there and the twits never even called me back so they don't deserve my business.

Thanks Gossa.
This is worth remembering.

Definately gonna get mine remaped next month at GTI international.

Last year Revo had a special offer of a 20% discount plus a free go down the strip!

Who pays for the parts Gossa If you blow the turbo or any other engine problems?
Re-map means more speed more money and so on?? Yes the smile is very nice but it's risky?

Getting your car remap will be the best bang for buck you ca get! Will totally transform the car 

A stage 1 remap isnt going to blow up your engine, well within the safe parameters of the engine. If something does go faulty and you are worried about going to VW with a remap then simply get it taken back to "stock" so when they take it out a run it will feel stock and have no reason to look into it.
