Engine Re-Mapping
« on: 13 February 2008, 20:09 »
After reading the forums it seems there are two main choices for engine remapping:

Revo or Custom Code

Which would you go (or have you gone) for?

What were the reasons?

Custom code for me too.

i read it gave the best throughout the rev range. Though as mine is a N/A it appears to give the most benefit on bottom end torque.

custom code is the way to go.  pulls all the way though the rev range. my mate has revo and it has a big boost mid range and that is it.

Would you say it was worth it for the mk4 2.0ltr 8v?

Im considering doing it but will it void my warrantyas i have only just got the car from main dealer?
