Not a bad move! Each doing a targeted move.

It'll be interesting to see the relative graphs.
Having had one of REVO's first maps on one of the UK's first mk6's I can remember with a smile what an animal it was torque wise on the 98 map and how civilised it was on the 95 map which made it very much an 'all season' car.

The APR vs Revo debate starts.....

Lets face it....all the figures in the world mean nothing if the car doesn't drive nice....ive used Revo on several cars before....Do bear in mind those top figures APR are quoting do involve using 104 octane fuel..!!

From a very personnel view im going to try APR this time....due to a few reasons.

1- Im liking the R&D they have put into it
2- Map switching without needing an additional unit
3- APR tend to produce other hardware at a later date.
4- I did actually have very poor customer service from Revo on my last car...(long story...!)
5- Im able to get a very good deal (better than 20% off) on the APR map.

I would get our car done on Monday if I wasnt at work....but it will be done sometime next week.
Only my opinion and not taking away from the work Revo has done

Thanks
Ian

Impressive figures :cool: I'm looking forward to stage 2 map. Any ideas as to power and torque increases over stage 1, and when stage a 2 map will be released?
Old, but a serial modder!
