Revo remaps
« on: 26 December 2011, 16:29 »
Been speaking to a friend off mine who is in the LCR seen, he has stage 2+ running revo maps, he swears by them, and is trying to make me get one! He knows I'll be getting on in the new year and insists Revo would be the best for my DERV. I have my heart set on an Rtech custom map as I haven't heard a bad thing about them also car inspection, RR before and after etc etc. With a revo map you get none of this, they just 'generically' map it.

What would be the difference between a generic revo map and an Rtech one. As I have heard that revo maps are the most 'aggressive' and if your engine isn't all up together pipes will blow off, leaks here, leaks there...Now my engine has done 115k and am not sure if my engine is all up together after all those miles!

I am only considering the revo as you get an SPS controller thrown in, which my mate will buy off me for a £100 see...

R-Tech do their own Remaps and REVO, give them a call, tell them what you want and I'm sure they'll recommended the right one for you.

RTech are awesome with what they know which is remapping and they never give up if theres a problem they will hunt it down so either they can replace it or you can.. most places just flash a revo map onto the car and if it goes pop so be it aslong as the profit margins are met.. Like said above go to RTech as they are REVO dealers they can flash one to your car see if you like it and then put a RTech map onto the car to show you the difference it will be night and day..

Just make sure all your pipework is in good working order; the 150's (I'm assuming you have that) leak for fun  :lipsrsealed:

And make sure the correct size C clips are on the correct pipes.......So you dont do a StevePD and have to use 6mm thick cable ties to hold the pipes on for 12 months... :rolleyes:

Ive have 2 AUM Golf GTIs at the moment. One has a Remap Science remap the other a Revo, and I cant tell much difference between them.
I didn't use Rtech because they only have 1 map and that is for super unleaded.
As I am not chasing BHP at a cost of travelling miles to find a 98 ron fuel supplier, I opted for these 2.
Remap Science is a custom map, and the Revo map can be tweeked slightly once installed on the car.
Ive used Revo on 2 Golf Mk4 AUMs, and think they are great.
It took Remap Science 2 attempts to get the map right, as it was loosing boost over 3000 revs. All sorted now though.
