It is but to get the cover you must get it done through a VW main dealer, I don't even think you can go direct to VWR. Price wise they are the same anyway.

hang on VWR are asking for £1.5k!  Revo remap was 400 or 500 quid iirc.  Though I believe the VWR package offers a few extra mods as well.  Part of the price no doubt is there to cover the warranty they offer too.

Hows about APR?!
Check out their integration with the cruise function.  Demo video is on a Roc, but they do Golf too...

That's for the stage 1 remap, suspension and exhaust package, just stage 1 is £500

There's no MK6 GTI map available yet from APR, just checked.  Emailed them a week ago and they promised to let me know when it's out.

I don't know if you're supposed to go through all that rigmarole every time you start, but it looks way too complicated for me. I want to control the power with my right foot while I'm driving, not with my fingertips before I switch on.

If it's anything like their EMCS system for the 1.8T, then no...you don't.

It just gives you the option of having several maps stored and using the Cruise stalk to select them - there is a Security program too...but you can also have different performance maps.
I had (on an S3) 'standard' map, 95 octane high boost and 98 octane silly high boost maps...useful if you get caught without access to the high octane fuel.

You could cycle through the maps using the Cruise stalk, even do it whilst driving - although that wasn't recommended.

Just spoke to local Seat (JCT600) and they are a new Revo dealer so still waiting to get set up. The gent dealing with Revo is on hols so should be back in 2 weeks.

Once they are set up... i will be straight over to them to get mine done. Should be easily on about 3000 miles by then

Good man!

Just a quick update 5 days on: the 'nervous' DSG I mentioned seems to have calmed down now and is as smooth as it was before. Acceleration is fantastic, although I now have to think more about the front wheels' losing grip than I did before. Basically, in the stock car, when I wanted to accelerate briskly I would just press the throttle pedal as far as it would go. With the remap I find I need a slighlty more delicate approach, even if the final result is much more convincing

Yes froggy, just deliver the power smoothly.  I can wheelspin in second in the dry and third in the damp if i nail it but getting the extra power down is easy once you're used to it
