Superchips told me that my car had already been mapped
Sunglasses Ron:
Best thing to do mate is ring Revo on 01327 301901 and ask for Kev or Carl. They'll be able to help you out if it is Revo software on your car.. :happy2:
KRL:
I doubt it would be REVO TBH.
REVO maps are heavily encrypted (as are all the other maps from big tuners). This is to prevent smaller companies from being able to read their code and copy it.
The fact that SC were able to read the code in this situation suggest to me that it was not encrypted and therefore not REVO/APR/GIAC etc.

people who know what they are doing can easily copy a revo map :smiley:
the car may have a map on but may be down on power due to a bust DV :smiley: id have thought a stage 2 map on a standard car would still be alot quicker than standard. :smiley:

Not as easy as you would think. Anyone CAN copy a revo map out of an ECU but actually decoding the software and all of the scrambled 'ghost' maps that REVO install is almost impossible.
I know, I have read REVO software using BDM and tried to decipher it, I failed. I have 10+ years experience in vehice software and engine managment programming, I am also a REVO dealer.

i got a reply back from the guy at superchips i asked if they could tell me who it was that mapped the car i got this back
I can’t I’m afraid as there are no tags in the file to tell me. Yes I would say it is asking for far too much boost which it can never achieve so would suggest taking the car to VW to have them re-flash the car to factory original.
i have phoned vw in gorgie edinburgh and they say they wont touch the car as its been modified is this right or are they just being awkward ?
