Does a lot more on the mk4 than mk5 mate and it is worth it from what most people say.

....A couple of years ago a BIALI Boy mate of mine had a lot of issues with a Revo map on his Mk4 R32 and they didn't get resolved satisfactorily IIRC. However, to be fair that's the only case I know of and it may have finally got resolved (he sold the car). So check it all out carefully, Joe.

Have spoken to Awesome last week about this as I was unaware of this 'big' decision.

I for one was shocked having been to Awesome for great development work with Jim and APR.

My MKIV was used for their first APR stage 2 UK software development cars before going onto Stage 3+

APR must surely recognise the issues surrounding this and it would be nice for them to give existing customers who use the forums and give them reassurance of back up for their products. A lead APR agent will definately be needed to contine servicing and development in the UK.

Their switcheable cruise facility was one of the key reasons they were recognised as well as their extensive R&D for their hardware products such as Stage 3 kits for MK5 & 6 Golfs. A real shame if this is lost....I'll vouch for that

Following on from my APR Stage 2 Ed 30 I now have a very well sorted 200+bhp KJet!, old school, MK2 16V for track shortly to be featured in VW Driver but in the future will happily go back to a mapped new car such as the MK6 and APR will always be my choice...I hope APR respond positively to this.

I'm sure Awesome will do well with Revo as there are alot of customers on this forum.

As above your thoughts John

Mods yes but way too many to stick in this little box

too early to call really but its very different so far...
even small things like idle quality / the way it revs 'feel' different and almost lightened if that makes sense.
Im not sure how but it seems to spool earlier but doesnt ramp as hard.

I thought exactly that when I drove VW Racing's car running Revo when I visited them.....funnily they were mightly impressed with the APR software on my car.

no dyno results , just logged on the road today by the guys.
to be honest I want to tweak with VCDS myself  :happy2:

I always did and still consider APR software great, so its good to be able to do a back to back comparison with REVO.

Look forward to your write up John.

I will try and see if APR are going to assign a main dealer for the UK

I went down to Awesome and got my APR Stage 1 swapped to Revo, and the difference is amazing, the car is definately a lot more powerful and runs smoother, the car feels right - if that makes sense. Really glad I swapped only shame is need an SPS to switch it.
