R-Tech for remap? << Just got Revo'ed!

[PDT]

This BAD review says it all.

We washed our hands with that car and told the customer how it was, he clearly didn't like the fact that we refused to work on it or run it on our dyno as it was so badly put together (driveshafts knocking, lots of banging and clunking, boost hoses plugged with chopped up bits of wooden broom handle, wires twisted together with tape.... You get the picture) instead of getting the car repaired and paying for it he decided to spend his time posting up false claims on a forum, incidentally on the same forum we have many customers that have posted extremely favourable reports of our work.

A badly put together engine which is surrounded by a car that has been thrown together on the cheap with broomsticks plugging the holes in boost pipes is never going to run propely, even with the best software in the world installed onto the ecu, customers can't expect to bring a car to be tuned that has existing fauts and have all of those faults fixed free of charge.

Thanks Andy, Robin.

I'd highly recommend R-Tech, great people, Nick is really nice and genuine, full of knowledge too. He told me what results I could expect realistically rather than claiming to be able to achieve higher figures. Can't fault his customer service, took the time to answer all my questions until I was happy. 
He is so generous too, gave me cracking prices on the map and SPS without me even asking! 

I wouldn't hesitate to use them again, just a shame that they are quite far away from me. 

[Andy]

glad your pleased with the service you got from r-tech and the map on your car

Very happy for you Mandy. Bet you can't stop  now!

Nick really knows his stuff. Great after sales service too. He told me to take it round anytime if I had any queries.

Nick was telling me about your car and launch control, lol! He said you had a big grin on your face 

Now I just need to get the hang of the flappy paddle things to make the most out of the DSG map. 

Had a great experience, just a shame that Pip FUBAR'ed the Dyno, lol! 

Just phoned up Greenlight to declare my maps, additional £63.17 which I don't think is that bad, I thought it would've been more than that.

....You most certainly do! All you have to do is Think Manual and shift gear whenever you would on a conventional manual car.

You'll be wanting paddle extensions next like Steve's and mine

He wasn't lying... I still have!!!

  i had my pirelli done couple of weeks back at r tech, mine is dsg aswell it was 234 bhp before remap with pannel filter and map it was 290 bhp, happy with results just need more sun and some new tyres soon!! 

[heavyd]

At least you decided in the end which one to get! You'll have to Pm me the price of the revo dsg and handset, might be worth a drive down to R tech for me!

My paddle extensions are in the post off Hurdy, no one else asked him about buying them 

[Saint Steve]

YOu will love those Paddle extenders, try not driving in manual all the time

[Greeners]

About time to Mandy! 

Glad your pleased, it's a bit of a no brainer on our cars as it turns them into proper road warriors! 

[Mandy]

I don't know if I like the look of those paddle extension bits, look like devil's horns or something  I think I can manage just fine without...

Shaky: Good results on your Pirelli. I'd be chuffed too. I can see what you mean when you say we need more sun... the drive to Hinckley was fine, but on the way back it soon started to pour down with rain... so I stopped at the service station, grabbed a Starbucks and let my bf drive the rest of the way home. 

Heavyd: Definitely recommend you give R-Tech a ring, I didn't have to pay them anything for my Revo Stage 1 map because I had a voucher, but I did have to pay for the DSG map (RRP: £299+VAT) and the SPS (RRP: £149+VAT). Both together would've been around £525, with the discount that Nick gave me, I paid £275 in total (£175 for DSG map, £100 for SPS).   

I don't know how this compares to the special offers you get at shows etc. but I thought it was a pretty good price! Thanks to Nick. 

Don't really understand the settings on the SPS but I do know how to disable/enable the map and put it into anti theft mode, still, it's a good gadget to have, lol!

Nathan:  ... Like I said before I wanted to get used to the car in standard form to enable me to really see a difference when mapped... Yes, I definitely feel a difference!  I did also say I would wait til the warranty ran out, but that didn't work out... 

[RedRobin]

so I stopped at the service station, grabbed a Starbucks and let my bf drive the rest of the way home. 

....I'm sure you had a lot of difficulty persuading him to drive your remapped car 

Like I said before I wanted to get used to the car in standard form to enable me to really see a difference when mapped... Yes, I definitely feel a difference!

....Very sensible. It's a good idea to always do one mod at a time because you then experience directly what each mod does and also it's easier to troubleshoot if you get unlucky and have a problem.

[heavyd]

Well they seem a lot better than PDT's prices, Dsg was going to be £234, and that was only if I got stage 1 map at the same time. Stage 2+ revo was £176, which is more expensive than the revo website no doubt the sps was going to be full price aswell.........So when the time comes to pay for a remap again, might be worth going there instead

On another note, those paddle extensions feel much better than the standard ones. They are positioned where the OEM ones should have been in the first place, and mean you can just change gear with your fingertips with your hands on the wheel where they normally are, hard to  explain, but they are a good mod

Hello Mandy,
Thank you for your custom, feedback and the HUGE box of biscuits you left with us

Sorry about not getting a rolling road run   I have had Pip on a guilt trip all week blaming him for killing the motor on the ramp..lol at the moment he is upto is elbows in oil fitting the new motor.  As part of every remap r-tech or Revo we offer a free rolling road session, so what I will do is give Kate a call at JKM and pay them so you can have a rolling road session on our behalf.

Any questions or problems our got out number.


Enjoy it

Nick
