after driving APRs Golf R a fair amount with their K04 stage 2+ I would say their map was pretty awesome and their cruise control swithcability puts them ahead of the alternative, however, i havent driven it back to back with the likes of a REVO equivalent s its only subjective.

Then theres the likes of RTec to throw in the mix as well.

For something like your setup I would go full custom... dont bother with off the shelf maps.

R-tech all the way.  :happy2:

I personally will be going APR again with my next car, provided its VAG that is.

I wouldnt say there is anything is your spec that warrants a custom job though. AN off the shelf REVO or APR setup will work exactly as expected.  Plus you can switch those maps, whereas a custom map will be fixed.

Take it you can't drive it at all until its mapped? Not even to the mappers off boost?

Do REVO and APR account for decat specifically? Or just "high flow" DP

i personally wouldn't, and didn't. Not worth the risk, different injectors and boost settings could spell disaster!
