Chips
« on: August 06, 2011, 07:21:09 pm »
no not the ones that go with Fish,

I have an 2005 Gti, which has 42000 on the clock and is completely standard, I am thinking about upgrading the power.

I have been told that the REVO stage 1 is the best available (by the local supplier) and I have been quoted £440 to have it done,

can anyone tell me if this is the best way to start, and is the price about right?

Sounds good,take a look at R-tech first-   javascript:void(0);   http://www.r-techpower.co.uk/r-tech-producs.php      they seem to be getter some superb reviews,especially on our sister forum site.
At the moment if you buy Golf+ magazine they are doing a £50 off voucher off their Spec 1 remaps(valid until Nov 11).So for £240 you will get a full pre map inspection, rolling road before and after and they quote a good smooth linear power increase (approx 240bhp)
I have spoken to countless others who have had there Gti remapped by them and everyone raves about the good work of Nick and his team.I am getting mine done by them in a few weeks time.Watch this space.

Definitely.your best bang for buck and Revo are regarded as being one of the best. Price seems good.

Essoman's post is corrupt because of the url. There are alternatives to Revo if you wish and many have had good experiences with blufin and R-tech.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I had Revo stage 1 done a few months back. Transforms the car. Also I noticed last night my weekley trip from Bournemouth to Essex I got 35.8 MPG over 170 miles covered and I dont hang about. Thats 70-90 MPH on motorways.

With the Bluefin you just order it and install it yourself. Takes about 10 minutes in total and you can take the map back off if need be at a later date. Plus you get 10% discount as a forum member I believe.
