Revo remap report (p.3): the Frog has done it!

[matchboy]

Have spoken to my local dealer and they have said that if we remap with VW Racing through VW Sheppards it will not affect the warranty in anyway. They offer various "upgrade packs" where you can just have a stage 1 map done for £500 where they claim a real world 255bhp or up to £1500 for stage 1, a lowered suspension and new exhaust.
VW Racing obviously have lots of experience and the fact that the car is still guaranteed makes me doubt now what I will do. Upon reading the report from Frog I was going to book the remap with Revo over the next few weeks but now am unsure, does anyone have any experience of using VW Racing?

this £500 stage 1 map is what my dealer mentioned to me.  thanks for the info, its all v tempting.  i'm wary of using these companies a la frog but if it was through VW then i would feel a lot more comforted that they wouldn't f7ck up my car.  do they have a brouchure?  did they give you figures re:  0-60 times, fuel consumption etc?  i suppose i could stop being lazy and google them lol.

which Shepperds did you go to?  the one in bishops stortford was where i got my mk5 and i had really good service from there.

When I went to order my Golf from the main dealers, they had leaflets on most desks advertising for remapping with a 3rd party!!

Yeah it was the Stortford branch. They were really helpful and I mentioned that a few others might be interested, especially since there are so many of us around here in Herts and with all that spare cash we have
They offered to send details in the post and their number is: 08451254836.

I think I will take the plunge with them I. I will cover 5-6000 miles first and then book something in, if I can wait that long that is.

you had better start putting some more miles on that car

Found these on Scirocco Central....

this place is dangerous, it makes you want to spend more money!

i like the idea of 250bhp (i assume 260bhp as those pics were for the mk5?) - but i wouldn't go for the flash exhausts or 'r' logo.  i want it to remain discreet so that when, for eg. a type r, fancies a bit of it i can mug him off and leave him scratching his head

It does say on the back of the brochure for Golf GTi MK5 and MK6

If i'm not mistaken VW Racing use Superchips

What about using Superchips?
Their Bluefin device lets you do it all without the visit to some crappy fitting place complete with a dodgy bloke and laptop?
You can install and uninstall yourself too - not a capped re-map to simulate standard power either, you actually swap std map vs Superchips map in and out, with both being held in the Bluefin unit.

They also provide a warranty on anything VAG won't cover, should something go wrong. Although, how watertight this is, I don't know...but it's more than CC or REVO offer.

Also, they quote real world power gains - on 95 octane fuel. So basically the least you will get...rather than the highest they ever saw, on a car running 98.99 octane fuel, and with a standard car making 25 BHP more than VW claim (yeah, right) to give their output of 275 BHP.

Surely an option?
