Custom Code remap for ED30??
« on: August 04, 2010, 08:49:14 pm »
I see most people on here go Revo,Bluefin or APR but was wondering if anyone has tried or has experience of the Custom Code map as my local VAG specialist is a CC agent and have offered me a good price??

I've had both at stage 2+. Custom code is a good, smooth map, but just doesn't perform or have the adjustability of the REVO software. :smiley:

custom code is a no go IMO. ive read to many articals and threads about them blowing engines(ususally custom big turbo jobs), but none the less, for that reason alone i would never touch them.

revo is well proven to be one of the highest performers and has excellent adjustability that no other tuner has replicated, 

APR ive seen a couple APR graphs recently and the curves and boost characteristics left a little bit to be desired.  they also seem a little conservative as well, which actually could be seen as a positive i guess. 

me personaly id reccomend shark performance , with their offer on at the moment its an absolute baragain.  theres a group buy running in the group buy section at the momnent saving £150 on the handset with a further 10% forum discount off the remap as well.

from the cars ive driven and graphs ive een they definately perform better than bluefin and match the revo guys give or tae a few Hp here and there.

dont discount the likes of jabbasport, they are highly regarded for their custom remaps, and are one of the only companies who offer a true custom remap for your car

I'm running custard code, and I rate it. It made 337bhp last year with full milltek, fuel pump and standard airfilter.

The car feels much more lively with a uprated intake.

Where's local for you?

I would agree but like to point out that theres a reason for this, the boost is deliberately reduced after spool in the 3-4krpm range to avoid compressor surge, which APR believe is an issue. (REVO dont for the record)
Im not taking sides just pointing out why.

I also have seen APR cars look way better on DD rollers graphs than on others. So the type of dyno.the run parameters and the way its displayed on the graph can change the way it looks.

conservative i would agree with , which they have tried to address with the recent file revisions, but for stg2+ cars I dont think they get close to REVO imho

Total Vag in Leighton Buzzard is my local! Only 10 mins down the road. I'd only be looking for a phase 1 map and maybe a cat back and uprated intake so nothing too major,would they be ok for this? I was always under the illusion that an ED 30 would make nigh on 300 bhp from just a map??
