Which remap to go for?

[KennyGTI]

Went to go to my local REVO dealer yesterday to find his company has went bust  So nearest dealer now is Edinburgh, which is vey near APR. Has anyone got APR on there Golf? Onlyseems to be Revo or Bluefin people have? I find it strange that REVO claim 275bhp with stage 1 and APR claim 250ish bhp, is that down to the Golf REVO had to test there stage 1 software was 230 bhp standard?

[Awry]

Personally I'd go with any other european tuner instead of APR on a european GTI. So with your choices I'd go with REVO.

I think 260 BHP is top with an OBD tuning ..anyone claiming more has to prove it on a rollerbank...say your MK VI is 211 BHP they can give it an extra of 45 BHP (in some cases a few BHP more) so do the math...

The only thing I have encountered is a measurement of an odd MK VI of 220 BHP to start with...so if all the odds are okay you can reach 265-270 but the majority will stay lower...not that that's important because after your remap you will have a ROCKET.....

im also wondering which remap to go for. i was thinking about going APR because i like the idea of switching between modes which would be useful when i take the car for an oil change at the dealership , but then just hearing REVO claiming 270bhp stage makes me very tempted...

Check Neils graph figures out of his revo.




Tuning companys Its all BS numbers its the GAINS and smoothness you need to look at. As well as a few other signs.
All are about the same gain wise it comes down to who you trust knows what there doing with the original program ing of the software and has any options you want.

WhatIi don't get out of this graph is how they measure the torque......standard it is 280 and remapped e.g by JD Engineering (one of the best in the business)  380....

On the Horsepower bit they take it to 260 BHP...and give you a graph like Neil afterwards...

From ABT I didn't get anything (small ABT stamp)... .........................on the other hand they give you a very fast car to prove it...

Am thinking of trying REVO, had APR and CustCode in the past so maybe give them a try. Have they released stage 2 yet? Am waitiong on delivery of a 3" TBE and Carbonio Induction, so in two minds whether to hold off or just get the stage 1?

i know this is another stupid question which i know the answer too 

if i were to go APR and take my car for a service i could set it back to stock so the dealers will never know i've chipped it meaning my warrenty would still be ok, but if they wanted too they can check my boast levels which would give it away correct?

Im pretty sure that graph is at the wheel and not the engine.

Apparently they can see how many times the ECU has been written to but they need specialist software to know for sure.

I'm pretty confident that if something on the engine blew and they had doubts of whether it had been remapped or not, they would go to the hassle of proving it.
