Revo or giac stage 1 ???
« on: December 12, 2012, 03:35:16 pm »
What would peoe suggest is the best map for my leon cupra?
The car will have a cat back exhaust and intake when it is mapped!

Im just torn between the 2 and even after hearing the info on the 2 im still stuck.
What map would you choose and why?

I will be going for above stage 1 but not for a while.

I personally didn't really like my giac stage 1 map  the throttle was a bit on / off and made it a little annoying to drive. However moving to giac stage 2 - 2+ was a great map, infact I prefer it to the revo stage 2- 2+ software,

Where are you based?

If it has to be between REVO and GIAC i would go for REVO

But if you can be persuaded to go else where, APR

I wouldnt go GIAC myself purely based on the fact that its an unknown at the moment.  Theres not many guys in the UK running this that i have seen on the forums, so its difficult to gauge the quality and performance.

If that were to change then it would become an option for me IMO.

GIAC tend to go a little more aggressive than Revo. I've had both on the Golf R and the GIAC map is definitely stronger. Whether this will affect the reliability of the car I don't know, but I doubt it as the engine is bl00dy strong and can take a lot more than stage 2+ without internals.

....Whether Revo or GIAC, Statllers is the important factor. I was going to suggest them when you mentioned you were around Sheffield earlier in your thread.

@Sam89 - Initial thoughts on the GIAC map? My car is also booked into Statlers in the New Year for a remap so any feedback is welcome.
