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

[gossa]

Forgot to mention the real benefits, midrange acceleration, real world performance is where the biggest gains are. Overtaking etc is much improved with little torque steer which was a real issue on my Scirocco, the GTI chassis seems well sorted, obviously helped by my excellent Dunlop tyres!!

[Snoopy]

^ can someone try and time some real world midrange performance figures for a comparison?
Figures like magazines use so we can compare to a standard car. 30-50 3rd, 30-50 4th, 50-70 3rd, 50-70 5th, 50-70 6th as an example.

I would say after you stop driving like a mentalist (which is hard after you've unleashed the beast!)...

Agreed

Overall, I have only ever had one car remapped before but will probably have every car done I own after this. Just looking to get my 150hp Vito van done now.

Lol, I was thinking of having my 140hp Transit done, too

Do you guys find it's more difficult to then sell the GTI on when your ready to, as any prospective buyer will 'think/know' its been thrashed as its been remapped ?

Take the remap off and dont tell them. Thats what Im doing . . . . .

I would never buy a car thats been remapped exactly for that reason.

i dont think every one  that would  be doing a remap. would be thrashing there motors ill be getting mine done to smooth out the flaws and the more torque and probably never thrash the life out off it

also what about these boxes like the blufin ones. where you can put your car back to standard for servicing and again selling the car on. and use the blufin thing to remap your next car .

lol who the hell are you kidding? You get a remap to get more power so you can go faster. Smooth power / torque curve and more MPG is just a by product. What you just said is what you tell the Mrs so she lets you get it, not what your really going to do with it.

Also, any views on the superchips oiption - especially as with Bluefin it is "reversible"

Rocks

Superchips have always been just as popular revo, so it boils down to personal preference. the blufin is not "reversible", it just reverts to a bluefin version of a std map. A dealer will return it to normal map should you require

i have to correct you on that, the bluefin uploads your Standard map to the handset!!, so yes it is reversable to stock if a dealer visit is apon you.

Revo are the ones that give "Their Version" and not the Oem one that was on your car.

Bluefin also has an antitheft option on it so you can leave you car in peace of mind, even though the perpitraitor  may have knicked your keys,the car wont go anywhere .

i stand corrected

So just to clarify... Bluefin do provide the exact VW map for you to revert back to??

As it was dry and sunny this afternoon, I decided to take the car out and try to measure the 0-60mph time using the Launch Control function on the DSG 'box. I had never tried this before and I was only going to do it once for the sake of my clutch! Using the stopwatch on my iPhone and trying to be as fair and accurate as I could, the result was a rather surprising 5.48 seconds

What I lerve about this place is that people take the time [no pun] to try stuff out for not only themselves but to share with others too!..
