I tried a seemingly similar map to Revo, 'same guy who has now left Revo'..... Motech was the name
The map was cheap and CRAP..... Anyway Revo is £499 before offers not £598 ?
What did you find crap about it. I've had their map on 3 vehicles now and they seem great and Mike is very knowledgeable and helpful.
In contrast I've had bad experiences with Revo with them not properly reverting cars to standard after trials etc.
I found the Motech map seemed to exaggerate Lag and felt very 'elastic' when driven, it improved with the VW closed loop trim, but was far less crisp and smooth than stock, pulled reasonably hard on FT but reminded me of how my RS was when I ram Motec (Not Motech) when I mapped the car with laptop and PC using data logging and was only part way through. It was not a great experience, I was either going to go back to stock or try another map. It felt crude and consumed more fuel too.
First drive with a REVO map (I did fit a sport CAT at the same time, so no direct power comparisons are really fair) it was crisp, more responsive, smooth and felt like an improved factory car, not a less than perfect modded car. The car is crisp, clean, responsive, oodles of grunt and power, sounds great and I have not looked back.
There may have been a problem with the map, perhaps it was a GTi and not ED30/Pirelli map, who knows. But paying the extra for REVO was worth every penny. Just my experience, but I was happier stock than with Motech
