Oh, the temptation  :grin: : http://www.revotechnik.com/products/softwareProduct.aspx?pvID=1113

It was my car that they used for the map, the car is now stunning.  My previous car was a Scirocco and the Golf delivers this increased power with less torque steer than the standard Scirocco, the power delivery is infinitely usable and just faultless.

Highly recommended.

Much extra did it add to your insurance gossa ?


GTI mk6, 3dr Manual (Yes Manual! If I wanted a Taxi I'd hail one, not spend £1500 on one), Candy White, Full Leather, Xenons, ACC, 18", RCD510 + Dynaudio, DAB Radio, Winter Pack, Luxury Pack, Fiscon Bluetooth Plus, Golf R LED's.

Your insurance company knows exactly what this mod if for, its for nothing but speed and power to them, yet they hardly touched your premium ? Who are you with ?

http://www.theracingline.co.uk/ based in Halifax used to be a Revo dealer (not sure whether they still are as the website is under construction).

Its only 20 mins away from Leeds so it might be worth giving them a call.

Tried VW tuning place in Lincoln off the Revo site. Offers Revo remap for £500 + vat which came to like £575 or summin, Said if 2 of us went down he'd knock off the VAT for us. So £500 a piece. Asked him if he'de knock off anymore for a straight cashjob but no luck, Only wanted to do things legit though the books. PM me if ur interested or post of here.

Cheers pal  :smiley: appreciate that and will let you know once I get the car  :wink:

Spoke with Revo head office and they said the agent in Wakefield has not been in touch and uncontactable for a couple of weeks now. On a positive note, one of their reps is in leeds ths week tryng to get both the Skoda & VW dealers to become authorized agents for Revo. :evil:

Think this should be a good thing overall, a hopefully wont invalidate your warranty. Will let you know if there is any further news :nerd:

Nearest REVO dealers to Leeds that have had good feedback on here are the one in Lincoln and the one in Preston.  Not that near I'm afraid !!  But worth travelling to get it done well  :tongue:   There is also one somewhere in the NE  I think.

I very nearly got a REVO map for my ED 30, but could'nt get it insured for business use for a reasonable price (due to the occupation of the Mrs.)  :cry:
