Remap - too much info

[weston]

I'm considering a stage 1 remap. Read loads on here and this has left me with no idea which one to go for. I can go up to 250bhp due to insurance. I like the idea of being able to switch between standard and the remap myself but this is not essential. Anybody with a stage 1 got any suggestions? I think I'm swaying towards Revo at the moment, hopefully the claimed +55bhp is very slightly optimistic / exaggerated

Revo is great but you'll need the sps or sps plus switch to change from stock to performance mode and vice versa.

Yeah I was thinking maybe bluefin as that can be done from home. Seems to have mixed reviews

If you are only planning on going no more then stage 2, then in my opinion Bluefin will best suit.

Only if want to go stage 2+ will revo give better dividend.

You dont need a select switch for a stage 1 map. Total waste of money.

At least with bluefin you keep your VW stock map on its handset which takes 5-6 minutes to re-install for a dealer Visit.

Revo give you a Mock version of your origonal map.It will also add to the cars flash counter, whereas bluefin doesnt.

Standard GTi stage 1 will get you between 230-235bhp.

If you have an Edition30/pirelli, expect towards 280bhp.

For nearly a £300 mark up for revo with sps switch to Bluefin with handset, map, and your origonal map as a 2nd choice. I know which id plump for.

Tis up to you of course fella.

I'm looking at remaps too, me personally I don't think I will go above a stage 1 what with all the hardware extras you have to get to get the best out of the map. Personally I am not fussed about out and out BHP, I would rather the map make the car better to drive, make it deliver smoother power if you know what I mean? I have a DSG GTI, so with that in mind what company do people suggest for my needs?

Sorry if I have stolen the thread.

Or use the forums Search tab for more info.

We're after the same thing. Mines a DSG GTI as well, not interested in anymore than stage 1. Only mentioned bhp because my insurance won't cover for more as a 22 year old

give nick at r-tech a ring, they have a stage 1 map and supply revo now too, great bunch of guys and they will be able to answer all the questions for you.

Same position here and after lots of reading I've gone for the Bluefin option (bought a reset handset for £260 yesterday). Easy to use at home, can switch back to the original map and not as aggressive as Revo or other options.

Where did you get the reset handset? Not sure I need the ability to switch, just thought doing it myself would be easy. I'm looking at Tuneside at the moment, should be able to get everything done in one go and for a good price.
