Well it was posted on vagoc a few days ago in a TTRS thread that REVO blew his engine so I'd imagine that's the reason. Think it was hush hush before, but its certainly public knowledge on vagoc now :grin:
Not on VAGOC so any idea on what happened eg cause?

I could not find it on VAGOC either, found Jonny's threads but can't see it?

Anyway...

The results are starting to look what I expected them to. There is a decent spread of maps, but i knew Revo would be the clear leader, as its very 'recommended' when people come to forums I guess.
Its nice to see APR have a good representation though.

IMO both tuners apr and revo are the same. The differences were that the aftersales help of apr was shocking and revo was good , apr disappeared for a while then came back and said to awesome gti about supplying it , awesome gti then turned around and said only if they were the only distributer of the software in the uk ... so apr came back with a bang as most people like awesome gti and trust their judgment , for me every car is different and gets mapped different . 1 map on one person’s car will not act the same on another’s.... I would like to try an apr map 2 see what difference if any it would make on my car however I live in Scotland and do not want to have 2 travel down to awesome gti every time I need something tweaked . :happy2:

Sorry pal i have not read the whole thread, i thought you were on the strip and selected 1st instead of 3rd for your Engine to blow up. Are you saying Revo blew your engine up.  :chicken:

for me every car is different and gets mapped different . 1 map on one person’s car will not act the same on another’s....


....And different because of different hardware mods. For that reason I can understand the bigger tuners APR and Revo now adopting hardware to sell with their software - I think it doesn't necessarily suit all consumers though but that's another subject.

Although forum recommendations can have a strong influence on our buying decisions, I think that most products (in this case remaps) ultimately survive on their own merits.

R-Tech have gone from strength to strength on this forum.

This is incorrect. AwesomeGTI arent the sole APR distributers, theres loads of agents in the UK now.

I have revo on my current and had it on my old car too. Very happy with both.

Pov - don't you get bored Revo bashing? I get bored reading it.
