What is the car like after a revo remap, does it affect reliability? and what kind of 0-60 time do you get ?

Night and day difference between standard and a car with a remap, Revo, Carbon, R-Tech etc etc  :smiley:

Car needs to be in good mechanical working order to see the best out of the remap as any weak components a remap will highlight them almost instantly

0-60 drops a little but how often do you do 0-60; the engine's strong point is in mid-range over taking power

I would recommend a map from one of our Forum sponsors. REVO are an "acquired" taste more money and less bang for buck usually.

40-80 is where it's at. That 3rd gear pull will never feel the same.

mapped both my golfs. my 150 was a chapo map but it made 189bhp and 210 lbft and pulled great but ran quite hot and ended up cracking a manifold melting spark plugs etc so i'd deffo 100% go with a decent reputable company.

My 180 anni I got a jabba map on it, smooth power very drivable, not been rolling roaded but totally transformed the car its gotta be round about 205bhp and surprises alot of cars on the road.

I was advised to avoid Revo, so went with Wagenworx, makes a lot of difference.

Very pleased with the car now.

I'd go to your nearest Revo dealer where you can try one on a free trial basis, if you like it you can keep it, if not you've lost nothing and can try something else, I'm sure any of the forum traders would give you a great reamp if the Revo's not for you  :wink:

But remember yes you are going to see a difference with the Revo trial but you have to remember the difference may be larger with say Doc and Nick @ CCTs maps.
