Revo vs Superchips

[maxload]

Forgive me as this has probobly been discused on the forum before.

I want a stage 1 re-map for my edition30.

I'm stuck between Revo & Superchips. Has anyone tried both or can anyone confirm which is the 'better' map.  Any help appreciated

Best person to answer that is heavyD. Hes had more maps on'his car than services i think

I think those two maps are aimed at the opposite ends of the spectrum tbh.  Revo max power, bluefin less power less stress etc

I'd prefer revo,
It may just be me being silly  but...I don't like the idea of plugging in a handheld set that has a map on it for all VW golf "ed30" or "GTI" from 2006-2008 etc etc doesnt seem right, I'd rather have uploaded on a rolling road and adjustments made whilst under the supervision of a tuner who can say...it's lean or missing rather than me uploading it on my drive and then happy days!
I've never had bluefine but I've only heard good things about it! It's just my opinion and I may be wrong about the way it's uploaded as I've never done it 
Just my 2p!

The Bluefin map is indivdual to your car. You have to download your original map and send it to Superchips first, then they send the correct remap to you and you upload it back onto the car.

One of the tuners posted a deal of £100 off the revo a couple days ago, can't for the life of me find it now though!

Think it's All REVO dealers, REVO summer sale.

Awesome are definitely doing it.  One of the REVO dealers on here posted it too

Not sure about that.  It may be individual in regards the various 'slight changes' during a model's life, but only by uploading a map, and using the 'test-monitor-Adjust' (Rolling road and live data logging on the road) method can you truly call a map individual and Bespoke.

The Bluefin map is indivdual to the model of your  car (2.0T 200PS, 2.0T 230PS, 140PD etc etc etc). You have to download your original map and send it to Superchips first, then they send the correct remap to you and you upload it back onto the car.

Fixed that for you

Bluefin is a 1 size fits all option, no datalogging, no real tuning, just a good option for people tnat want something simple but effective. Massively lags behind many other options in both power figures and drivability.

However, if quick and easy interests the buyer over and above accuracy and performance  it is a good option.

Ive had revo, superchips, PDTuning and shark performance remaps on my car.
The superchips was by far the worst map out of the lot. I would never get a superchips map again. Heres a rolling road  graph between revo and superchips at the same level of tuning (stage 2+ revo and stage 3 bluefin) the superchips map was the 3rd or 4th tweaked version to give the most power, as you can see, revo is by far a better remap.

Thanks for the replys.  I was looking hard at a superchips remap mainly cos of the convieniance. After some more carefull reading and the replies here I think it's revo all the way.

If your after convenience try the shark performance map with their STS handset. Same idea as the bluefin handset, but with a better map. Thats what heavyD is running now.

That's exactly what everyone said to me 3year ago but I still went for the Superchips. It may only be individual to the MODEL and LESS power but on the Gti that difference isny as substantial as the ED30 and I've been nothing but happy with mine. Drives like normal but with more poke.

[Janner_Sy]

Well i had the bluefin @ stage 1, 2 and 2+ on mine, and when having a run with my car at stage 2+ with every add on, it was still notably slower than the revo and shark performance stage 2 cars which were only on std fuel pump, hence why i changed to shark performance.  This is my experience including graphs etc http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,9088.0.html

And you didn't have an Edition 30 did you Sy? 

Make your choice either way you will be happy.
If you want out an out power figures go Revo. If you want something quite a bit quicker than stock go Superchips. At the end of the day it's your dollar.
