It's just so hard to decide! Lol

Better to try both and then decide!



I really don't see why  :confused:

Do a list of pro's & cons for each. Not forgetting price  :wink: the answer will become obvious  :grin:

I know R-Tech are the bees knees at the minute but you need to back off a little Graeme, and let people make there own choices you are getting like the APR fan bouys. You take over every thread about mapping now and it is getting unhealthy.  If you feel the need to constantly tell people about the virtues of R-Tech can you just PM some of the members you want to convince.  :drinking:
And before this turns into a handbag fight i have no problem with R-Tech, it is just becoming unhealthy.  :smiley:

TC - noted  :drinking:

As said above, everyone has an opinion over what product has worked best for them and the reasons why so was purely following the spirit in which the forum is designed to work. I'm not on commission (Nick doesn't even do maps for the car I have currently  :grin:) and I hope none of my posts can be seen as "pushy". I've taken the approach of presenting the facts and letting people make their own choices - I hope this thread is a shining example of that.

Suggesting the OP weighs up the pro's & cons (I thought) is a sensible way for someone to make a decision? - the particular post you chose to pick up on.
 
I'm happy to have helped a small honest business, saved people money and have helped people get something they are really pleased with - haven't seen anyone moan that they've been sold a cod  :grin:

As you said above, you I'm constantly taking over each thread and not letting people make their own choices so will take a back seat from now on  :ashamed:

Apologies to the OP for this thread going off topic  :sad1: I'm of the opinion that Mods ought to have these conversations over PM rather than take the subject off topic.

R-Tech rely on the likes of Graeme as they dont spend thousands upon thousands on advertising like other popular choices available in the remap industry. I would also like to point the OP in the direction because if you are new to this it is hard to see past all the sales & advetisement of the big names.





Erm! you need to keep it in the context of this forum, no companies are  allowed to advertise on here  :confused::happy2:
This is not a debate about which is best, everything that is healthy in life has a balance.  :happy2:

Can I get my own R-Tech section like the other tuners on here ? ;-).   That way I can add all my finding and keep my advise ect on one section??

It's worth bearing in mine REVO graphs will be very different too, depending on how the owner/tuner has set up the map with the SPS settings.

Some people want that hit of torque, so ask for it. Some people want a more linear map, so ask for it. Some people like to play around and have everything and all in between, so get an SPS and play.

So in many ways REVO is customisable too, only you have that control, rather than going back and forth to a tuner.

Just giving some balance.  :happy2:

Cheers so far guys.

All opinions help.

Just need to decide wether it's linear I want all the way to redline or pure aggression but breaking traction all the time....hmmm might have to change driving style!

REVO can be setup either way.... Big punch low down or more progressive power.

So could you have best of both worlds bit of low down punch but pull all way to redline?  :smiley:

There'll be thousands of possible setups, all controlled by the SPS or your local REVO dealer. I saved 3 bespoke maps to my SPS and could switch between road, track and 1/4 mile

Revo may be be all well and good. But it certainly isn't worth twice as much as its best competition in Rtech's remap setup for your own cars capabilities IMO.

And most importantly set up with no risk to someone that my not know what each setting may do on a settings switch..

Worth contemplating to a purchaser which to go for.

There's enough safe headroom to ensure no damage can occur by setting it up 'full retard'. Any REVO dealer will discuss a customer's requirements, set some base maps around this and teach them how to use the SPS.

There's also a wealth of knowledge and info on here too.

As for cost. Well that's a matter of opinion. Do you buy the cheapest of everything?

You also goto think about travel / cost if any problems arise.

Revo was local to me so my choice was done.. yes if Rtech was around the corner I would of gone for them.

Having said that, I now have WMI fitted and i can adjust to benefit it. If i had an Rtech map i would had to travel 2 hours away (fuel costs, and pay again for his time).

Which is faster ??? It can totally depend on engine, and what mods you have on.

I can clearly state my Revo stage2+ ed30 200cell is faster then my mates Apr software stage2+ ed30 with decat.  


I would like to go and see Rtech and see what he can do as i do believe he can make the car faster then what i can tune to on the Revo software but travel / time is stopping me.

 :indifferent:

dearest doesn't always mean the best either.. You bought a BMW  

Some people buy Skoda's... :popcornsoda:


I see it as being savvy and not spending out for the sake of someone saying its twice the cost and you get twice the thrills.

then of course geographies comes into any decision.. So I drove 2.5 hours to save myself £500 in cost difference, between a DSG remap and engine remap from someone closer.. This would also factor into any decision I make , whether its cheaper or not.
Feedback also makes my decision aswell, so we are all guilty of trying to help others make a choice when it comes to what's best.

Thanks for the replies guys.

So people don't think revo is worth twice as much?

And it can be on the aggressive side for traction even with correct set up?

Revo is 20 miles from me and r tech is 100 miles. I don't mind travelling if its the best, and again don't mind paying for revo if its best.

Apparently r tech is better for drive ability.
Just trying to get some opinions together.

If i come back to a 2.0TFSI I reckon id be happy to give R-TEC a punt, they seem to be doing some good work recently.  And from what i remember reading previously, they also have some form of switch-ability that can be carried out whilst driving.
