Personally on the TFSI I would go Revo.

Cheers Steve.  Have you had any remaps on your car?

Yes I have had both Superchips and Revo.

Thanks for the advice Steve.  I think I'll drop Superchips from the list leaving me with Revo and Shark.  If the off of £299 at Shark is on though, I think I'll have to go down that route, given they too seem to have a great rep.

Hi Spencer,  I can highly recommend Ben and the guys at Shark performance, and if you pull your finger out and call them asap they have an excellent offer running until the 6th.  The remap for your car will be £299, or you could get an STS for an extra £150.   :happy2:

Further details here - http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/211017-crazy-summer-sale/

Wow, that's an amazing price!!!  I couldn't see it on their site as it's still quoting £449 for ED30/Pirelli's but I'll give them a call.  If I can get the stage 1 map and STS box for £450, we have a winner I think!  :happy2:

You will, ask for Rob or Cheryl, they will sort you out, tell them Lee Page gave you the recommendation (no I'm not getting a finders fee  :grin:).

I have just loaded a stage 1 map on swmbos GT PD140, and its fantastic, if the vRS wasn't mapped with someone else I would be chatting them up for stage 2.  :happy2:

That's brilliant cheers Lee, you're a star.   :happy2: 

I see the offer runs up to and including Monday 5th.  I'm just about to go away for the weekend so will call, book the car in and pay for it Monday.

I would ring them today just to confirm if it finishes at the close of play on Monday evening, you will kick yourself if you miss out on that offer.  :driver:

Hi Lee,

just called Shark and as long as I pay for the remap by close of business Monday, the offer is valid.  Gotta dash off for the weekend now but will call them Monday to sort payment.  I told them you'd recommended them to me.  Thanks again for bringing the offer to my attention!

You'll be happy with the shark remap :happy2:
If you do eventually get the stage 3 remap, make sure you get it set up at shark HQ though.
If you are buying the sts, the map you get emailed will be the same as the one you will get if you make the trip to the HQ. Might save you a car journey thats all.

Don't discount superchips (Richter via Wayside VW) as I have a Pirelli with one of their maps and it is extremely smooth in all circumstances. I get economy in the high 30's when I want as well as extremely good performance when I need it

I would still go Revo! Don't like superships customer service! I've said before, I'm on stage 3 which to them makes no difference if you have a full in take or panel filter or a full system or just a cat back! How does that work??

Peak power figures mean nothing, its what happens between 1000-7500 rpm thats important. This is why having the car mapped on a dyno always gives the best results, the tuner can see the power and torque curves and measure power at any given RPM and throttle position. Peak power is a measurement of power at 100% throttle for a very brief period of the RPM range, how often do people drive at full throttle at 7000rpm?

the Revo map for the Pirelli makes the same power just a bit lower down the rev range (so you get a slight torque increase), been running it for 25,000 miles and no issues, really nice understated car when mapped
