The ideal soln is still OBD tuning when a tuner can develop a way where your average vw dealer cannot detect that the car been fiddle with. The tuning box is a good solution but it is fiddly to remove with every service and if one have an accident at the front end, it is difficult or impossible to remove the tuning box from a crumpled engine bay. I will only remap or put non-factory bits on if my local dealer who will sell me tuning parts from vw racing etc... and will still claim from vw uk if engine bits break down.

Better solution is to wait for the mk8 Golf R or go to other brands Audi RS, Merc amg, Bmw m.

The graph of the REVO looks better to me compared to the APR map. I'm really keen to here people's review when somebody has it done on a PP GTi with DSG.

Got mine revo today on my gti pp dsg,& all I can say is you will not be disappointed, it's turned the car into animal on full throttle but kept it's drive ability around town, I very badly recorded the car going from 0-80 on a private road.http://youtu.be/vIiGNCp1RlY

How are the gear changes with the REVO map on the DSG? I read that the APR is rough between 1st and 2nd, is it the same with the REVO?

I had heard people running apr remaps were experiencing  rough gear changes, this is probably down to the amount of torque they have, I have had no problems gear changes are perfect & mpg has improved.

I was about to get mine done until the whole weak turbos thing came about and I found out mines one of the affected. Think I'll take the plunge and get it done next week anyway.

I nearly cancelled myself while turbo gate was going on, but I see it like this, if vw do a recall I should still get a replacement because the turbo has been deemed as faulty, but anyway its been a week since I got it revoed & I'm still amazed how quick it's made the car,&on recent 100 mile trip to Norfolk it returned 41mpg & I wasn't exactly hanging about.

How's 1st and 2nd gear change? Heard the apr map sucks with dsg on the gear change!
