I certainly can't answer your question.  But Clive will give honest advice - no doubt gleaned from live scope data.  Are you fairly local to East Anglia then?

Have you run this by JohnnyC and Hurdy - they are both well up on these kinds of issues.

[Andy]

I  live near Scotch Corner on the a1..few hours driving to East Anglia,but i don't mind travelling to get the best service.not asked JohnnyC and Hurdy  as yet..been looking into it today

Are these guys still worth their salt? 

[AlanEdition30]

Ive always been impressed with them. Very knowledgeable and always a top level of service 

[MaverickFSI]

Yeah, I live about 10mins from him, all I hear from local VAG owners is good things, excellent service and attention to detail. I think they have a K1 Leon running 315bhp as a sort of demo car, must be a colleagues or something. I called them up 2 days ago and there advertising 100 quid off a stage 1 REVO map, which totals to 480 inc VAT and they claim on a Ed30 you'll achieve 300bhp.

Andy you don't need the bigger injectors unless your wanting to go the full hog, The turbo runs fine with the normal injectors and a good map which Dave @ PDT can do for you.

Yeah they have a white leon K1. I wasn't sure whether i wanted to add an ITG intake to my list of mods until Clive took me out in the leon

Fast then!!!

Well it's not looking good. The cheeky blighters want 56+ VAT to set up the REVO map on a dyno.

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

Really 

That was not mentioned when I called the other week. I assumed the priced quoted incorporated everything necessary to do the job?

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. 

Pays your money, takes your choice.

If or when i get revo on my soot chucker,is it just best straight out of the box or get it tweaked a little if possible,i.ave only got a full milly on

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
