Which 2.0 TFSI/TSI Map/ECU upgrade do you have?

[Rabbit222]

One thing u will prob find is that there has been a shift towards custom maps, eg R Tech. I have heard a lot of mixed things bout yr 'big names' so to speak, but as yet ive yet to hear even 1 negative comment bout Nick and his team! Yeah sure, ive been there a few times now, im clearly biased, but wat Nick and co dont know bout mapping aint worth knowing IMO!!!

Do you have a link to their website mate?

i did this a couple years back. The UK is definitely geared more towards REVO on the 2.0TFSI forums.  

But is that because APR shut up shop and left the UK a while back?

maybe, REVO definitely benefited from that void, thats for sure.  It'll take a while for that to change i think though.

this Forum is definitely REVO, but then if you go to Briskoda then Shark Performance probably have the majority share, SCN has a pretty good mix of everything IMO, then VAGOC seem to be leaning towards APR.

sure thing, although check on Google, it's 'www.r-techpower.co.uk', just make sure you bring some hobnobs, lol!!

Only reason that VAGOC is changing is purely because so many people follow JonnyC. That forum used to have a huge revo following. APR make awesome hardware bits and their marketing material is fantastic...that's about it for me in any case. I've always maintained that "Competition breeds excellence" and its good for the consumer. Arrogance however will lead to your downfall...

And that is why I went Jabbasport, support a "smaller" tuner (Albeit one who was tuning VW's before remaps existed!), they also offer a cusomt map rather than generic file

how is your dsg remap from R Tech going btw, did it make much difference?? When you trying a Rev G DV btw??

X2 never met anyone with THAT level of understanding of how the TFSI engine works

....You haven't met Sheldon Cooper then.  

It isn't only about choosing which remap product but who installs it and how conveniently they are located.

Before I chose mine back in 2006 I did a lot of research and spoke to a lot of people over several months. Jim at JKM was not the closest tuner to me - They are a 180-mile round trip. JKM are a fiercely independent tuner and offer several ECU upgrade options as well as having a rolling road. Back then I didn't choose the remap flavour of the month reported on car forums by willy wavers after the highest bhp numbers. Which engine version you have should also be a factor in which remap you choose. I chose Revo and now also have their DSG remap - It makes good sense.



The fact that the Revo has the option to fine tune the Boost/Timing/Fuelling and also 'Standard' mode (plus Anti-Theft security) has been invaluable. I also prefer the peace of mind which comes from having a very well established product. When I was considering a remap I asked my VW dealer what their attitude would be - They asked which tuner, and when I answered "Revo" they said "No problem, then".

Just FYI they never shut up shop here. Awesome was the main APR UK importer, who then fell out with APR. Tuningwerkes in Croydon then became the Main UK importer.
Then late last year APR set up a fully owned HQ in the UK.

I'm guessing no-one is running a Celtic Tuning map?

....I went to Ray in early 2006 and discussed him doing a remap but at that time he said he wasn't confident enough of the results and hadn't finished his work on it, so we decided better not.

How is he? I haven't dropped in on him for ages. He is one very very very quick driver! That's what a full race licence does.

are you talking about that REDICULOUS show from across the pond???
