....Well, it's well proven that along with the Evoms, both the ITG Maxogen and Twintake deliver very good performance so it's difficult to see what you dislike without you being specific. I think you get what you pay for generally.
High performance figures im not that fussed about, 4 or 5 bhp is not going to make much difference to me, thats one of the many reasons for trying something different, another reason is money (£200 versus £350) and the other being that EVERYONE (Most anyway) has either Twintake or ITG, I think I ahve always supported the underdog, if a company (or 2) like ITG/VWR and Forge have a large market share I would look for alternatives to be different, same with re-maps, I will be avoiding both Revo and APR for the very same reasons, that along with paying only £300-400 for a remap rather than £600, its not so much the money that bugs me but the principle of market leaders overcharging (again my opinion)
As for the Volant looking OEM, if indeed that matters because no VW tech/mech is gonna be fooled, will the OEM engine cover still fit after a Volant is installed?
I am not trying to fool anyone, I personally prefer the look of the Volant (Or the A.W.E CCB which I considered too), it looks neater to me along with reasons above I just dont like the big Carbon cans on the Twintake (Little bit too Bling for me!) and the ITG to me just looks Chavvy, only my own personal opinions, and no like most (if not all) intake systems the engine cover wont fit unless modded

Just got to get together the money for the BCS TBE Valvetech exhaust and get them fitted along with a re-map and whatever the power figure will be I shall be happy with it :happy2:

....Heard the BCS exhaust on Tfsi_Mike's Cupra yesterday and it sounded very good indeed, very sporty without being boy-racer loud. :happy2:

I was lucky enough to go meet Dave and Nige when I was last up north and went in the GTI with the valvetech fittted, was very very impressed by it and both Dave and Nige's experience and attention to detail, made my mind up in about 5 minutes!.
Nice and quiet when pootling around (which I do a lot of) and sporty when booting it (but not chavvy or loud!)

....I am exactly the opposite - I am far more confident in an established remapper with a broad network (assuming their remap is proven as a good one without issues).

And there is one of the many things we disagree on :happy2:
I would prefer the smaller tuning companies to get a bigger share of the market (albeit between 3 or 4 smaller tuning companies) rather than just have 2 big companies battling it out (who are overpriced in my opinion), supporting smaller companies also helps breed competition, no competition means they get lazy and just count the cash, I hope that the big guys see the small guys who do pretty much the same power-wise pushing them and gaining market share, it might make them change things and push things on.
As for established, Jabbasport have been in the industry for years (longer than Revo?) and I dont need a network of dealers if the one I use is 50 miles away :happy2:, plus with bigger tuners selling their maps to tuning houses, service differs vastly between them (looking on the forums shows this regularly) so rather a tuning guy who sells re-maps which he bought form them and to install why not a tuning house who do the work themselves and know it inside and out?, R-Tech, Shark etc etc they all do the same things, my map will be from one of them (not decided yet)

....Funnily enough we partly agree! I posted earlier today my opinion about Revo and APR buying up other companies in the BSH thread and said more or less the same as you. :happy2:
