Just got back from having the free 5 hour revo trial put on my car and I'm not sure i can stress in a few sentences what a difference it makes.

I've always thought the gti was fast (200bhp version) and have for so long thought what is the point.  I've been off work this week and thought i fancy drive today.  I gave votex ltd in cheshire a call who said to pop down and he'll put the trial map on it no problem.  Dropped the car off, had a walk round, 30 mins later all finished.

Driving in town traffic for the first 15 mins it felt exactly the same as normal.  Then after about 30 mins of driving i finally got the opportunity to open it up.  I was and still am absolutely stunned at the pick up.  The surge right to the red line just pins you in the seat in every gear, it almost feels like the front of the car is lifting.  Its so addictive just to have another feel of that power.  I can never go back to normal now so unfortunately i'm going to be £450 down :sad:

But..... Its all worth it.  Don't know why i didnt bother with the trial before, there was no hard sale from the guy at votex, just took down some details, said enjoy and btw we do servicing etc, email if you want a quote.

Ohh, want to go for another drive........ also ref fuel consumption, I did 120 miles today, 70 in remapped state and it has averaged 33.3mpg so seems similar to normal :laugh:

going to have to give the trial a go, been inbetween on which tuner to go for but hell if its free I'll give it a try.

How come you have been able to get it for £450? When I spoke to the nearest dealer a while ago they quoted before VAT, £500.

As I was about to drive off I said to the guy if i go ahead with it, what is the price?  He said he's pretty sure they have reduced this map from £499+vat to £399+vat, so I hope he is correct as £460 seems so much more reasonable than £575

I wouldn't think so.  The thing with revo maps are that they are the same for each car so results should be very consistent.   If i was having a custom code, i would certainly want to see it on a rr to confirm my money was well spent

The dealers website btw http://www.votex.ltd.uk/
