The big switch over. APR to REVO

[RedRobin]

Has an air of messy divorce about it and then flaunting your new bow

....Yep - Awesome's new partner in bed is Revo. APR will naturally be wanting to preserve their reputation as good performers regardless of Awesome. I reckon that if I wasn't already happy with Revo I'd be APR tuned - None of the others appeal.

You could put it that way . Which, I suppose, is very true.  There is nothing wrong with APR's software and even less wrong with their hardware.  Awesome has made a choice to go with Revo, which was a surprise to me and I guess by the reaction, most people.  They have their reasons for switching, rightly or wrongly.  Thats up to you to decide.
I just fancied a free change, and at this moment in time, a good one.

@ ukdub:

I'm not judging whether Awesome/APR/Revo are right or wrong - It's their businesses to do as they think in their best interests 

I do think it's a pity if APR have less presence in the UK as a result. I'm now curious about the JKM-APR relationship

Something free for my hobby, yes.  

I think that's the bottom line, suckered in by a £500 + VAT product for free  

It's human nature and nothing unique to you mate.

....Absolutely, but you wouldn't take a freebie if it was rubbish just because it was free. Though I guess that some people would!

Our reasons for switching to revo are pure and simply based on the software doing exactly what it says on the tin or to our suprise exeeding the stated figures, but most of all to us is being able to offer customer support to all of you.

Awesome do not wish to enter a forum argument in front of our customers but will continue to publish our true findings,we have offered the foc charge Swop so that you are customers have the choice so we can carry on with our support, I also believe as customers are flashed over and their cars set up properly you will speak for the results yourselves  
 
As I previously stated if someone wants to discuss our reasons for choosing Revo then please feel free to phone myself or jim or our sales team at the office 0161 7760777.

And just for the record all APR results were the results recorded back to back Within half an hour of the Revo software being flashed and run, you can't be any fairer than that.

Remember this is a choice for all our customers to choose.

No doubt the results speak for themselves.
In a way i understand what and why Awesome did what they did. The americans can be difficult to deal with.
Though i would have liked that they had been more in contact with other dealers dependent on them regarding APR.
On a sidenote, the REVO results looks great, but bear in mind that if not easy then most tuners can tune for high figures, but this may result in other standard components not being able to take the abuse and needing upgrading.
The wise move is the conservative tune that doesn't cost further parts needing replacing.

first off thanks to Awesome for the graphs and Arin for taking the time to post on here in a professional manner 

my thoughts

1) its always going to be 'difficult' due to the nature of the split to see the definitive wood from the trees.
2) Someone correct if Im wrong but I believe the protection mapping has been proved to exist in later REVO software, due to logged AFR dyno graphs
3) APR have always claimed compressor surge at 3-4krpm, REVO disagree so the maps differ in requested boost at this rpm by quite a lot.
4) for those of us with long running APR software we need to carefully consider changing, components tend to 'bed' together and if you change the power levels and delivery its game over.  e.g. clutch = bye bye

for me I intend to switch to REVO as I cant go without the support Awesome provides. Not that I have needed it for a long time but when/if I do then I need to know its there. It also reinforces to me how much weight this aspect carries.
I will also probably turn the boost setting down to preserve my clutch. high end power shouldnt be a problem.

I will of course be posting a review in due course
