Remap Question: What is the most favorite in UK?
« on: 20 July 2010, 04:10 »
Title says it all. I always wondered what other people on the other side of the world doing? Here we have the usual suspects APR, REVO, Unitronic and GIAC. Please educate me from your past and present experiences, which companies are big players in the market? I am not necessarily asking who is the best, that always opens can of worms, but I think there are some solid tuners across the pond.

Thanks in advance

Superchips I am told are the biggest and possibly the  oldest in the UK. They are the ones of Bluefin fame.

You mentioned ...other side of the world..uhhhmmm......Holland  :laugh:

Here the two most familiar with dutch GTI clubs are JD Engineering and ABT  :wink:

JD Engineering is cheap(er) and I would say very very experienced the amount of GTI's chipped and dob'd by them are enormous, check it out maybe worth a nice boattrip...to Hoek van Holland.  :cool:

I myself did ABT ...only reason was the warranty...but they did a great job.

DSG smooth under all conditions a very little bit holding back in "D" mode some instances particularly when you suddenly floor it, I guess that is in order not to spin on the spot or collect unwanted DSG-spare parts behind you....although my tuning only launches 390 torque on a DSG which can have 500 torque before meltdown I guess they still do it for a reason. (If anyone wants to comment ...I think it remains on topic)
In the "S" mode it is a different story a one way trip to max speed...as if you have no gears.... :cool:

Here in Saudi Arabia I don't know of any local tuner, although there is a Dubai based Revo accredited dealer.  Not much use for me though as the Mk6 is not tunable in present form due to the encryption issue affecting post Sept 09 models.

OK..OK... I was too lazy to point out that there are exceptions - it depends on the ECU part number I think, from what I understand after speaking to JKM.
