Who had both Revo and APR and willing to share experience?
« on: January 23, 2013, 10:07:19 pm »
Hi Guys,

As in the topic. Considering a map from a big name company and would like to hear your stories please.

Thanks to all

This will be interesting but unfortunately you may find that those who have switched may have done so due to dissatisfaction with the one they had. You obviously need an objective comparitive view of both.

Word is that Revo is slightly more 'aggressive', but.....................   :popcornsoda:



Personally I think they are both very good by reputation and user reports. EDIT: But I only have direct experience of Revo.

For which engine - Golf R?

cool pic Robin  :happy2:

Yes it would be for R engine.

Just by reading on the group APR had customer service issues before but now back to business and extending their presence.

Would you really just flip a coin?  :evilgrin:

Also any map would be on RR I presume even though they are out of the box for a specific car configuration? I only have experience with small tuners and always on RR

Thanks

....Nope, I never said that was so. Sorry if it appeared to be implied - I'll edit my post.

What I mean by that is that when I chose a remap I investigated both APR and Revo but chose Revo (due to JKM and more convenient access) and APR would have been and probably still would be my second choice.

would you be able to describe any similarities / differences?

I know it will be very subjective...

politics aside, did you notice any differences in power delivery, smoothness etc or they are so similar it's hardly noticeable at all?

Thanks a mill

....Yes, I think we both have the same tuner of choice and so I would stay with that tuner too.

However, for someone else I am of the opinion (without direct experience of APR) that the APR remap is worthy of serious consideration as an alternative.

It's a good point you bring up though about the importance of the tuner and not just the map software itself.  :happy2:
