What is he gonna do.... Guess the BFT settings??  :stupid:

Hey - that's a bit unfair!  How much would say JKM, VWR or any of the rolling road equipped tuners charge for a custom set up?

You can have REVO straight out the box, and fiddle with it yourself; or you can pay a touch more to have it professionally set up.  Like I said in the original post - he isn't particularly cheap - but he is AWESOMELY superb.  He has more qualifications and awards than probably all of the VW 'master techs' in the UK.  :wink:

Pays your money, takes your choice.

Ohh thanks for digging this up.

Just a note to say that they loaded an incorrect map onto my ed30 and set it up the BTF settings incorrectly. 669.. REVO set it up correctly at 649

Your joking?? <nope!>  :sad1:

How did you know he loaded the incorrect stettings?  Was it that REVO happened to discover it at some random occurance?????  I know that REVO seem to hold Clive in very high reputation (well that's what both Kev and Carl told me!).  :sad1:

Did you actually let Clive know?  Because I'm sure he'd be mortified if he made a genuine mistake, and would definately have seen you right.  :smiley:

Yes. All of the above. I got a EML warning light on not long after it had been mapped. Related to over fueling on idle, something which REVO knew about and effected the S3/ed30 engine. Problem is that I live nowhere near Clive's so to go back there would have been a pain in the John Thomas. He said come back and we will sort it but 300 miles trip after spending 500quid doesnt compute. So I cut my losses, went to REVO HQ, they installed the correct map, correct settings and gave me the DSG stage 1 software for free.

No harm done :-) car pulls like crazy at the moment with the cold weather.

Revo set mine up at 669 when I had it loaded at GTI Inters.

OK - at least this fuller explanation sounds a little better than your reply at #14 in this thread.  I've known Clive for years (not personally, more professionally, if you get my drift) - and I was genuinely surprised at reading your earlier post.  It's just said that Revo already knew about it before letting Clive load the map.

But I'm sure Clive will be as good as his word - if you are ever in the area again, and need something else sorted - he will do his best to try and make good.
