Just been to JBS autodesigns in Chesterfield for a shed load of work and recommend them assuming they are near enough.

DPM Autostyling - NE39 1NW

That is the only one I can find near you that is listed in Performance VW - and they have quite a comprehensive list to choose from.

Hehe another fellow Stockton'ian.
I've looked around mate and there are not many in the North East.
There is the MK4 Golf Centre in Darlo but i would stay well clear of them! Its just a guy in a shed!

There are a few that offer Revo remaps but non of them have rolling road so there is no way of knowing what increase in power you have and when your spending £499 i wouldnt chance it.

For a remap i would want rolling road graphs so i know what im geting for half a grand!

Hi all,

A month ago had the Revo 5 hour trial by Steve Howe at Triple H Motor Sports 1 Back Claremont Grdns,Whitley Bay,NE26 3SE TEL:07711120884,Steve took me out on the coast rd and made sure all was well on his laptop after i had booted it, to show all parameters were fine,he sent me on my way.

Chris.
