R-Tech Hmmm Revo???
« on: March 19, 2013, 03:00:07 pm »
i know its probaly been covered a 100 times but wow im finding it hard to decide  :scared:

I had revo on my old 8p s3 stage 1 and then went to 2+ at a later date and it was very nice  :happy2:

i got r-tech going round in my head a little know but can anyone answer these questions for me?


1. If i go r-tech for stage2 and i want 2+ at a later date for the hpfp map what will i be charged?

2. What power do r-tech stage2 ed30 usually make? 330-340?

3. Any info on these map extras?

Linear DBW Throttle mapping
Rapid Shot RPM limiter cutting

4. I also see there is an extra for launch control being mapped into the car is this for manual cars also?

Thanks

Why not just Pm Rtech nick on here and ask?.. I'm changing to Rtech on april 11th with one of his custom TIV remaps.

Knowing from what I know about Nick and the team is that he's a very reasonable guy and will do the upmost to help you.

We are hopefully setting my car to 310bhp and 310lb ft at stage 2 along with a stage 1 remap for the DSG.

Cos if it's anything like the pm I sent him, he won't respond... Obviously far to busy working his magic... I'd call him to discuss, like I'm going to do if/when the time comes to go from Revo...

Not sure if I am yet... am waiting on other peoples experiences first... Revo doesn't give the figures you expect, though never had a problem and drive very well... R-Tech achieves higher figures but can't gauge how they drive etc... But Niki comes VERY highly regarded from many various people so would like to see what he can do with the hardware i have...

Nick sets your car up to be the best drive it can be, it's not all about peak figures  :happy2:

You can get linear throttle and hard limiter etc also  :wink:

Similar peak figures between all the brands / tuners as its within the limits of the cars hardware. A custom map should in theory produce a few more horses as its tailored EXACTLY to your car / mods. A generic map is designed to work well with all hardware types so will always be a small compromise  :smiley:

All I can say is Nick won't let you go until your happy , can't say fairer than that  :happy2:

What exactly is this Rapid Shot or Hard Limiter RTech are offering?

Launch control could be pretty handy too.

Hmmm.

Hmmm.

IIRC James has a 1st gear limiter at something like 1500rpm so basically dump the clutch in first and shift straight into second for best launch.

Hard limiter holds the revs I think, rapid shot is where it bounces (best check with Nicki though  :happy2:)

You can't go wrong with r tech, it's a custom map they do so better than revo. I'm running stage 2 which is 321bhp and 343lbs. I'm going back there in 10days for stage 2+ so I will post the results from that when I go
