APR Presents the Return of Awesome...
ukdub:
I went to Awesome yesterday to have a chat with Mark about what was going on, it lasted the best part of an hour and said that he will do the same with anyone who wants to have a chat, even if it take him 6 months.
One thing he did say is that REVO is a fantastic product and would never say a bad word about them.
This is MY interpretation of the chat with Mark in key points.
APR's willingness to listen to issues (UK specific) and be able to deal with it in MK.
The shear size of what APR has grown to.
The hardware. ie if you want a itg filter you will have to get it through APR/VWR (less stock already held by other tuners) plus other VWR branded products
Basically Mark/Jim feels that its in their customers and their own interests to get 'back in bed with APR'
As for the 'why cant you sell both APR and REVO side by side' well, in my view only and how I interpreted it, is, that part of the deal with APR is that PSI tuning and JBSautodesigns (close to Awesome) would not be able to sell APR produces and software anymore if Awesome dropped REVO. I might have that totally wrong but thats how I saw it.
Right or wrong thats business I guess

I believe that APR/VWR have done a deal with itg that means that you can only buy VAG itg filters through APR/VWR and their dealer network

....Really? I thought that ITG were more 'in bed with' Revo but even that has never meant exclusive retailing.
