I have one! I'm well happy with mine despite hearing a couple of horror stories that have been circulating with regard to PDT's remaps, service and conduct  :confused:

I found them easy to approach, seemed very knowledgable about what he was doing, saying that, i dont know much but he was enthusiastic about it all. the workshop was nicely set out and there were other customers there who were also happy with his previous work so my mind was immediately at ease handing him my car to work on.  I'd never met him before and had intended only on having the car rolling roaded but decided on the remap on impulse after asking about his own custom remap.

I've never driven another gti with a remap from other tuning houses but this one seems good, no issues what so ever, pulls very stong and feels great.


The fact he has a Revo map on his own car does look odd but it could be that his own map wont suit the demands of the additional equipment fitted to his engine??? who knows???

My opinion:   the best £300 i ever spent on a car!  :happy2:

Our own (Daves) ED30 did have Revo stg2+ on for a while, mainly as an advert for Revo and at the time we had not developed an equivalent.

The car is now on a custom stage2 PDT map (same as Heavy D's car) and making 334bhp and 340ish ft/lb.

We did a quick audit recently and found that we have tuned over 1200 cars in the last 4 years at our workshop near Newcastle and supplied over 3000 individual tuned software versions to our dealers and other tuners that use us for their map files, infact many people will have a PDT map on their car without knowing it.

As far as someone mentioning stories regarding 'service and conduct' then they are probably just that, stories. We have a huge customer base which is constantly growing, we did have an issue with a local 'rival' company that started up just down the road from us and their method of gaining business was to spread malicious rumour and mistruths, even making up fake reviews on some of the forums that we used, however most people saw through this.

My advice is to take notice of the people that have used our products and services and you wont go far wrong. Our ECU software guy (Dave) spends a lot of time working for various other tuners, and supports customers in over 36 countries so he is always stupidly busy, at the moment he is on his way down to London to help finish a map for a diesel thats competing in this years BTCC, thats after spending 8 hours today in the workshop on the dyno, we are in the process of taking on more staff to take away a lot of his work load and hopefully this will help out with the everyday customer service side of things.

We offer tech support and customer contact options (phone and email) from 10am -10pm 7 days a week, not many other tuners can offer this but we will do our best to continue to invest so that we can keep this service open so if anyone has any questions or comments, feel free to call or email us.

Welll.....
I've had superchips stage 1,2,3, revo stage 2+, and am now onto Daves stage 2 file.
I can honestly say I prefer it out of the other 2.
The superchips seemed to take too long to to come onto boost and too laggy, the revo came in late, and just gave a sudden surge of power, giving loads of wheelspin, was good, but considering the price inc the sps, and the engine light kept coming on with it. I go a refund.
Whereas the custom PDT map seems a lot more driveable, and has power lower down the rev range, and dont feel the lag, and also keeps pulling until the redline
I have loads of RR graphs now of the other 2 brands, and its by far better than the superchips, it holds the torque much better, as superchips backs straight off as soon as it has peaked, whereas this one stays constant. Personally, I think Revo stage 2+ is too much for a front wheel drive car withotl an LSD, but thats just my opinion.
I was dubious about moving away from the big names, but for the price, you cant go wrong. There was another member on here that had a stage 2+ file for his K03 that was there when I was, and that made good power aswell.
If its a K04 turbo'd car, youre  welcome to have a test drive.

I think the reason he had revo on his car was the fact that most revo dealers have revo software on their car, probably a freebie, plus theres another 3 revo dealers in the area, and if people are after a revo remap on their car, it makes sense for him to have some advertising on here
