I think the guy who does 'mobile ones' used to have South Coast Wheels and now has a parts business of which the name escapes me but you may have seen his  van on the M27.

Tims VW or something I think.

Tims Vw?....

Rings a bell, was it in Paulsgrove? Think it has shutdown now though....

I can't remember the guy's name that does the mobile remaps but I know he's pretty local.

Stay standard.  The Ed 30 as standard is just fine.

^^^^ Saint Steve, you've changed your forum name to "stokeballoon" I see. :evilgrin:

But, joking apart, Quality Dave is right: The standard Ed30 is very fine and the modding slope is very slippery (ask Saint Steve). It's very difficult stopping one thing from leading to another (I'm not talking about sex here).

Wow, thanks for all your advice everyone!

I can understand that each map has their own pros and cons etc...

Judging by the comments, sounds like Bluefin will be fine for stage 1, but may need Revo or something for stage 2/ 2+.

I guess the deciding factor would be down to how much I plan to mod the car in future.  :evilgrin:

I'd love to say I'll go stage one and stick with it, but you never know do you?? (Why did I join this forum!)  :signLOL:







From reading this i'd say just go Revo, I thought i'd be happy with stage 1 and bf was great at that, but you just get dragged in and will end up with it all,don't end up paying twice like I did  :stupid:

He is right, but asthetic mods soon painfully went to engine mods.
Im still sat on my hands refusing to go no further then stage 2.  :grin:

Yes you're right, the car is fine as it is but I've just got the urge for something more, I'm hoping a remap will make the power delivery smoother too.

That's what I keep thinking, if I stuck with Bluefin I could end up paying twice, maybe...

i did exactly that.  i then trialed a revo car and a shark performance car and ended up with shark performance.  i personnaly found very little difference between the two, the shark was slightly easier to put the power down and was cheaper so thast who i chose.  would have been equally happy with revo though :happy2:

No you need to map it Mandy!  :evilgrin:

Been driving a standard Leon Cupra (240bhp) recently and although quick just doesn't have the shove and flexibility of a mapped car IMO!  :happy2:

I too am going to go with the Revo, at some point anyway, Just getting my car ready for it, sorting out the intake, and then getting the exhaust and downpipe sorted, That should take me a few months,
Do keep a look out at the shows, as heard Revo are doing a similar offer at ED38 as they did at Inters which I heard was very good.

going from stage 3, down to 2, then down to 1 and finally stock, i can confirm 100% that std cars have absolutely no urgency at all.  so much so that i kpt thinking the car wasnt right and hat it should surely pull slightly better
