Shark stage 3 vs Revo stage 2+

[heavyd]

Well to be fair, my car ran fine before the shark remap
And with revo made 370lbft of torque without dsg map, no torque limiting there

[Hurdy]

Revo stage 2+ worked well for me. 

Not seen a Shark mapped car do a sub 13 second 1/4 mile pass yet - although I do like to see sub 13 second passes on any car whatever the map.

Owen managed on GIAC ;)

I managed a 14.0 and that's the best I could do

I may be biased because we are Shark Performance dealers as well (Well, will be as of tomorrow) but I spend loads of time on all sorts of forums and a bad review about their software is very rare. I can't say the same for REVO. A lot of people on Audi Sport have switched to Shark, some have DSG as well and don't seem to have any problems.

I'm not saying REVO are no good, they haven't got were they are by making rubbish maps but my S3 has a stage 2 REVO map on and it isn't the best to be fair. I have been saying that since well before I even spoke to Ben@Shark by the way 

I've driven a lot of remapped cars and mine has had loads of hesitation problems. Now that could be down to a deeper lying problem with the car being highlighted. We will find out tomorrow when I get the stage 3 Shark map put on 

As for the DSG problems, it seems that some cars take to the Shark maps and have no problems but not the REVO & vice versa. Just goes to show that every car is different.

APR has done a 12.7. Ooooft! 

Their golf R eould do a low 12, id bet my children on it!

[Janner_Sy]

I have itfrom Saturday until the 10th March whilst they fettle with my car.

Can't bloody wait to drive the R.  What's the full chassis/engine spec?

[ukdub]

All tuners do their thing.   do you guys think at any of the major tuners are REALLY bad for our cars  (too much ot lose) ?  They all do things different ,  I would be suprised if any of the big players did any damage to the golf mk5/6 engine.

full stage 2 plus, AST coilovers, arbs and haldex controller. Its a hoot, goes over roundabouts as if they dont exist

Come on spill the beans then

I would say revo own 60% of the market for vag hence the few more complaints and issues compared to say shark

To be fair though Poverty, there is no proof of that 12.78 other than a random post on a forum - fair play if its a genuine time, but remember the lad said was running proper drag slicks to get a lightning 60 foot time (fastest I have seen on a MK2 LC). Also, his 114mph terminal has been beaten by several REVO cars too even though they got a slower launch which indicates to me that the APR won't be any faster  

Also remember that there was a lot of hype about the GIAC Extreme map when it came out, but having seen, logged, driven and raced against one a lot more than once I know which map I would sooner have between it and REVO too - and it to give a clue as to which one that is, it ain't GIAC.

Im glad ive seen this thread, because i get a annoying pause on full WOT from my dsg car. i thought this was normal 

I currently have revo stage one and revo dsg stage one. Could i have the wrong map loaded on my car? 
I would love to get rid of this.

No doubts about the performance of the Revo map I did have it for 18 months myself remember. But my mates jabba car who was only a little slower than my Revo k1, was slower than the haldex apr demo car even though now he's running a fully stripped interior, lightweight seats and lightweight buckets. He's got the APR map loaded to his now and he's really pleased, said he's gained loads top end just like in my review.

The APR demo car is there for anyone to try so it's all transparent, don't take my word for it have a go, obviously in your case it would be a little difficult.

We are all gonna be going to the pod soon anyways so will be interesting to see what times my mates car will do.
