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

[FroGTI]

The Bluefin idea really appealed to me, but then I read other members' experiences with SuperChips and rapidly changed my mind!

I'd suggest you guys look very closely at the small print with regards to remaps provided by dealers

You may well find that the engine part of your warranty is voided........

Just something to be very wary of! 

I'll check it out.

Fine toothed comb required I think...

Yep - a little research not just on the company but other people's experiences goes a long way to making your decision

the finer the better I reckon

I already asked the question, apparantley does not affect the full manufactures warranty. That info came from the main dealer as well.

That's what they said to me as well but I'll need to check out the 'small print'.
I'd not really considered a remap because of warranty issues and I believe it may make the car more difficult to sell.

If it is a 100% watertight warranty then it makes it more of a VW official upgrade or extra so maybe that's more appealling.

I looked into this and VW Racing are using Superchips Bluefin so that means VW UK are happy to honour the warranty using their product so that is good enogh for me.
Everyone is different and I'm not after loads and loads more power, just a little will do and 250 BHP is what I was hoping the MK6 should've been from the off.
The more I think about this the sooner I'll get it done.

Revo also offer their little clever plug in switch box to change the maps about (I've got one but haven't had call to use it yet).

There was a guy over on sciroccocentral when I had my roc who started off with Bluefin then went over to Revo.  In a number of posts he said the Superchips map didn't deliver the stated gains and there was a significant gain from the Revo map over the Superchips map.

He also has an ED30 that Revo have mapped to around 300 which he says is nuts!

I think Superchips quoted at the time approx 300bhp

The two cars running made 250bhp and 270bhp or thereabouts; one was fitted with a Milltek Turbo Back too

Nothing was mechnically wrong with either cars IIRC.  I think one was due to the wrong map being supplied but even then it didn't make the claims Superchips said it did.  Not sure what they quote now mind

They claim a gain of about 50 BHP...so around 255-260, which would seem sensible.
Anyone that thought you'd gain 90-100 BHP must need their head read!

I can believe that a good REVO map will produce more power than a restrained Superchips map, and REVO tend to be more aggressive in throttle respose and midrange too.
But, if you aren't chasing every last BHP, don't want to run it on 98/99 octane and have no plans to change the downpipe/cat/exhaust, then Maybe Superchips is an option.

I was under the impression the REVO box lets you tune the delivery, and can provide a stock-like map...as opposed to the full standard map as the Bluefin can?
Maybe if putting it back to standard for any reason is a requirememt, then the Bluefin option is a good one?

the ED30 started with 230bhp as standard so Superchips were claiming a 70bhp increase
