Hi Guys,

Very interesting thread, thanks Frog for bringing that up, I do learn plenty of things.

I would be also doubtfull to leave a remap in the hands of a dodgy pot bellied biker-ish kind of guy in backstreet garage...mhhh :shocked:
Somehow, it does not fit your standards Frog. You look very cautious with your vehicule.

Make no mistake this remap should be handled by engineers type of guys.

I found out one remapper in Belgium. This is what a remap should be about: professionalism

Take a look at www.shiftec.be: a 260cv/400nm remap for 726 euros
They are pretty much educated staffed, and you car will get its custom made remap.

Measures will be taken on the power bench before, and after and as a result you'll get a personalised power graph of your car

This dealer does sound a bit lax (guessing it's Ashfords), but the two REVO dealers nearest to me do a full diagnostic check on the car before any files are loaded to the vehicle. They then accompany you on a little test drive to make sure all is okay and tweak the map for any adjustments you need. Only when they (and you) are 100% happy do they take your money.
I would expect a professional service from a REVO dealer, you pay top dollar for their re-maps and REVO as a company do take a bit of pride in their customer service to say the least.

I've remapped 3 cars with 3 different companies and TBH, they have all been a bit seedy. To be fair, my Revo dealer has done an excellent job in spite of initial appearances. However, I probably wouldn't use them again and I suppose that's what counts.

I think the problem is (after speaking to them on the phone) that they just cant get enough dealers on their books.

Interesting. I was thinking of contacting them re. setting up a franchise over here as part of my business. I think remapping is illegal in France, however, must look into it...

I think they would jump on the chance to a have a dealer over in France. Im in Leeds which is a relatively large city, and we dont have one?? :undecided:

The only danger of this is Revo getting themselves a set of dealers that dont live upto the standard of CS they provide themselves. Although the product they supply will ofcourse be exactly the same... £500 does warrant some professionalism.

Why couldn't you get a white one? I thought it was one of the more common colours.

Those of you guys who have done the remap, is there any change for the top speed or only a quicker 0-60?
