jonny,
that sounds a little like advertising :)
i have driven a stage III apr car, and it was really nice. not a 600hp beast , but really linear and powerfull which is what suits a FWD if you want it to be a track car and not a drag car.
as for your case, afaik you are working directly with REVO and they custom tune your car , that is really different. REVO are very capable and can do good stuff , but they have to want to do it.
they clearly said that they do not tune for GILIM's turbo and have no intention to. so he will have to try and adjust a tune not made for his car by using a MBC.
it something that works great on the 1.8t's but i'm not really sure he will pull it through on the TFSI.

Nope, not really.. I just believe that Revo are the best option out there.. There just isn't many people world wide running the Revo file that GillM is looking at, so as I have had it on two of my cars, I thought it would be of help me commenting..
I run the same stage 4 file as everyone else out there, which is designed around a 3071R on a .63 exhaust housing running an ATP manifold.. Im running a 3076 with a larger exhaust housing and a tubular manifold, so the map is not custom tuned at all but runs fantastically..
I know your intentions are good, but I believe that personal experience counts for a lot more..

My tuppence worth is that if Revo are able to provide something, then go with them. They are in the UK and have second-to-none customer support in my experience.
Regardless of how good an APR solution is or isn't, I think you'd be stuck with long trips to Awesome in Manchester. Custard Code (loving that name!) isn't really a wise option - I've been hearing too many negative stories, but of course I stand to be corrected as I don't have direct experience of them.
I know Ray West - He's an ace track driver and can build a race car from scratch - Extremely capable but a small operation and always incredibly busy.

Although i have zero experience with the REVO stage 4 i do have some experience with the APR stage III
my only point is , that the tune should fit the car.
you wouldn't run a k04 tune on a k03 car and detune it usign a MBC would you ?
so why run a gt3071 tune on an 2871 ?
it would work , but i guess it would be far off from getting the most out of this turbo.
i think the best option for GILIM would be (if APR would agree) is to get the apr stage III software.
he will have to change to APR injectors and intake (due to the 4" MAF) but would get a perfect tune for his car.
if he does go with revo , i would be real interested to see the numbers they pull out of this kit with the 3071 software.
gillm:
so far its a toss up between west tuning and revo . cost wise there is about 100 quid between then when you add a boost controller to the revo side of things .
i know rays work very well and seen great "safe" maps producing great power
and i have had revo for a few years now and had no problems at all with it and i like the extra features with it . but seeing as there are more GT28 kits coming out vf and dibilas already have a kit and i have heard that others are coming out soon . it seems strange that revo dont want to get in on the 28 maps .
