Heard from Revo today they are extending their summer sale to the end of August, so it is exactly the same price as the APR software... coincidence??? :grin:

Having looked at the graphs for Apr and Revo, the Apr has way too much torque for me and comes in too early. The Revo follows standard at the beginning then mirrors the standard map which IMO will be more sympathetic. Hence will be going for Revo, but will wait for stage 2. Any ideas how long that will be?

I'm hoping to get mine booked in next week  so will post my impressions, I think revo have done the best job looking at the graphs, Apr are pushing out some impressive torque , but fear it's going to break something.

Revo's stage upgrade path means you won't lose any money going for stage 1 then upgrading at a later date. i.e pay for stage 1 and then when you're ready you just pay the difference in cost between the stage 1 and 2 maps to upgrade (usually £50 +vat). I would imagine the Stage 2 software will be ready with in the next few months.

I've Revo'd a couple of Mk7 Rs, itching to get my hands on a GTI now :laugh:

Thanks for that, I didn't know. So I think I will book it in soon to take advantage of the discount. :smiley:

Voids the warranty increases the insurance.  If you have to ask that question go buy a tuning box instead mate

Or to be more precise - voids the warranty on parts affected by the remap (IE, engine and drivetrain components) and increases your insurance.
