Thanks guys.  :happy2:

So some good things said about them already, that's a reassuring start!

I have been given the chance (if all goes to plan) to have a stage 1 Revo remap at a very good price, but the catch is, I can only have it done at R-Tech.

I know it's a little bit of a travel, but I think it would be worth it.  :pomppomp:

Just looked on their website and noticed their Milltek prices seem quite competitive too.  :party:


A bloke at work drove down there, and had a custom r tech map put on his pirelli edition. He got to 280bhp. I think it made 300bhp, but was tuned down for a smoother power delivery, he was happy with the map :happy2:
He was down there nearly all day getting it done.
They seem to know what they are doing, and loading revo onto your car is nothing compared to a doing a custom map,
I thought you bought a milltek of the classifieds?
Either way, they have good feedback amongst the mk4 golf community :popcornsoda:

I did enquire about the exhaust but he wouldn't post it to me.  :sad1:

Never mind.

You already have with your Bluefin handset sat at home :chicken:

If i didnt already have a remap on my car, or Bluefin handset reading to load, I would go to R- Tech aswell, but i couldnt justify wasting the money that id spent on the Bluefin previously..

Great service as has been said, and alot of people hold them in high regard :smiley:

You should put the money on the Bluefin, and use the rest to buy a new Milly instead.

£300 buys you alot of other mods.

Basically someone won a voucher at R-Tech charity event for a Stage 1 Revo map, his car's already mapped so he doesn't need it...

She is buying a revo map though you nugget from R-Tech.   :rolleye:

@ Mandy:

I realise it may be a question of money, and I've heard nothing bad about R-Tech, but JKM in Portsmouth are extremely knowledgeable and particularly expert at all things 2.0T FSI/TSI engine related and in the long term I suggest it would be better to go to someone who will get to know all about your individual car all up close and personal, regularly, and not just about the remap. Plus they are local to you. They're 2hrs drive from me but I don't hesitate.

It's your call of course  :happy2:

Mandy can always go to JKM once she has the map on the car and gets back home. Just because she didn't get the map from JKM doesn't mean they cant get to know her car after.  :happy2:
