The cost of maps is largely based on the development costs. I know a guy that buys his remap files from Lithuania for 20 Euros, charges customers £150. I have looked at these maps and although they are modified, they certainly have not had any development work, more guesswork i.e 2-3  boost maps increased by a blanket change of 12% and no change to fuelling or ignition advance maps etc.... comparing it to a typical map that I have made after 4-5 hours of dyno time I end up with 35-40 maps altered and usually 20-30 datalogs and dyno runs. But I do charge double what he does.

Take a look at this for how this affects the end results: http://www.dyno-tuning.co.uk/articles/remapGuide.pdf

I will likely be using Jabbasport in Peterbourough, used them before and they know their VAG cars, they are also Local (ish) to me and they are not Revo   :P

P.S. nothing against Revo, I just like to be different, get same power and save £180 in the process  :happy2:

Hi Guys

I have used Radical Remaps he tuned my Golf GTI and i must say Brian did a fantastic job the car has been transformed and it cost me £300 bargain! Radical Remaps are not a franchise company they are legitimate Tuners and there is only 2 of them one mobile the other in the office. They also use Dimsport gear, the research i had done before i had my remap was that it seems to the the best and safest bit of kit a tuner can use.

Brian said that he was as not expensive as the Revo and so on, because they have no huge overheads and expensive advertising budgets that is always past on to the customer! food for thought!  :driver:
