who did the custom map matey?

[candy turbo]

my ed 30 is my third car to get stage 1 custom code and i have never had a problem , if you plan to leave the car pretty much alone after the map i think power for pound here is fantastic , if you want to carry opn tuning upgrade to stage 2

GIAC for me.
Cant believe its not on the main list just as good if not better than Revo.

[RedRobin]

....

I think that GIAC isn't as popular because it's thought of as American based and also not so broadly supported in the UK. I'm not saying it's no good but just suggesting possible reasons.

Personally, I wouldn't buy it no matter how good the map is simply because I don't rate Regal's customer service. But that's just me.

I think JonnyC had GIAC but now has Revo.

Am I missing something here??? 

Suppose we put "customer service and experience" aside for a moment. Pretty much all reputable remapping outfits offer warranties to cover damage to the vehicle if directly attributable to the remap, and free re-flash if the remap was removed by the dealership.

Aren't all the remap profiles pretty much the same?  I suspect there are only 2 or 3 parameters that can be tweaked to improve bhp and torque - the clever work is actually done by the software in the diagnostics machine attached to the rolling road?

They don't all offer a free re flash one that i used did't

[Jaywoo-GTI]

Great poll, Confims my thought of a revo or bluefin map.

[RedRobin]

.... x2

The agents increasingly don't offer it free but make a fixed charge.

So, what's the bhp and torque offered (stage 1) by each of the providers?

....Whatever any of them tell you it's not accurate. I'm not saying they're telling lies but only that numbers vary from car to car and all according to which other mods are onboard. Beware of any tuner who tries to lure you with big numbers.

What you should seek (IMO) is smooth driveability which doesn't over stress any components including your tyres! Best to go to a true VAG specialist and certainly not Jap (very different cars). Aftersales custumer service and support is also extremely important (IMO).

i can appreciate how it is the software that does the work. totally correct. however, customer service and aftersale care are vitally important to me. I work (fairly) hard for my money, if i go somewhere and the customer care is below par, i wouldn't feel right handing over my money to those very people. i'm not saying i rely entirely on sales care, as if a polite person tried to sell me a poor map i wouldn't have that either. there's a balance. manners and understanding cost nothing.
