The advantage of custom mapping is customers can tell me what they want and I will work on getting it there the best I can without compromise.  The final result every time should be a happy car with a happy owner this is the aim on a daily basis.

I am glad you are happy with the car, and thank you for your custom and feedback.

Cheers

Awesome job Martin  :happy2:

Car simply gets better and better  :happy2:

Very interested in the LBK mapping from R-Tech and seriously considering changing my Revo stage 3 to an R-Tech custom map. Nick seems to be pushing the TFSI further and further, and always receives tremendous feedback from the forums.

Thanks peeps, she's getting there. My "to do" list doesn't seem to be shrinking though!  :signLOL:

My god how much spare money do you have?!?!?  :drool:

Borrowed it from my wife's purse!  :wink:

WOW Martin  :surprised:

Some seriously tasty moddage goin on dude  :notworthy:

Top quality parts added. Well done sir  :congrats:

Thanks bud, if I can get her to look half as stunning as your I'll be a happy bunny! Wish you and Adi were nearer!  :sad1:

Love this eddy, just keeps getting better and better   :popcornsoda:

Cheers Jake. Bet you'll loving your REVO'd Eddy, hell of a step from up from stock I bet?  :evilgrin:

Tricky one as you already have your car set up with a REVO Stage 3 map BUT there's no doubting Nick's magic with his custom maps. Whatever your specific requirements, I reckon he will meet them.

The LBK map is a awesome thing. My car really did suffer with a pronounced, very noticeable and annoying flutter when stepping on the loud pedal that seemed to hold the car back. That's completely gone and that combined with the extra torque from the Progressive Stage 2+ map she pulls all the way through the rev range. 

:congrats: :congrats: :congrats:  :driver: :congrats: :congrats: :congrats:

Thanks Neil.  :drinking:

I'm hoping that's the end of my need for more power but you never know. Already looking at other parts that can be added to help flow!  :innocent:

Wow - a great update there! Very impressive figures - I continue to be amazed at what an ED30 can do with effectively bolt-on parts!

I've been mossing parts to go Stage 2+ for a while - brakes & IC look to be the most time intensive bits to have fitted, and I've been planning to have it fitted in one big hit.
Not sure if this is a wise choice, or not - how did you find going through the stages? I guess you got used to the steps in power. I plan to go from standard to stage 2+

Really interested to read about the Superpro ALK - sounds as though it is a very worthwhile mod.

Surely can't be much left to do on your car now?!

I thought I read about Xenons being fitted too ?!

^^^^ Going from Standard to Stage 2+ will be EPIC fella!  :notworthy:

I went from standard to an R-Tech stage 1.5 Linear map and then to my current R-Tech Stage 2+ map. The jump from standard to stage 1 will always be the biggest jump and is a massive difference, night and day.

The Anti Lift kit is a must, combine this with engine mounts, ARBS and a good Fast Road Geometry wheel set up you'd be amazed how she handles.  


Loads yet to do (never bloody ends  :laugh:) and yes Xenons were also fitted during the week, still need to organise my photos and then I'll post up some pics.

Some great mods going on there Martin. 360bhp on Niki's dyno is a great result with the K04. :happy2:

A book?  :grin: In which case I'm surprised you're still awake after reading it, I do ramble some what, more War and Peace, less 50 Shades!  :laugh:

Cheers John! I'm happy with where she is now, all well within limits with a bit more wiggle room in there if needed.  :drinking:

Yeah man the jump from stock with CAI to fully REVO stage 2 with hardware and suspension was like the difference between black and white  :jumping:

Took the missus out to see a movie this evening, she made the mistake of asking so what's actually happened to your car this week, what's a remap and more boost? Her neck hurt down the A23  :evilgrin:
 Will have to see your beaut one day if there's a local meet?.

^^^^ Glad your chuffed with your map Jake, enjoy it (without hurting your good lady too much).  :happy2:

I'll organise a meet come spring time, there appears to be plenty of peeps around the Sussex/Surrey area nowadays on the site so should be good. I don't stand in car parks much anymore (well, not legally anyway) so it will be a pub!

She asked to drive home.... Nearly passed out....

I'll look forward to it mate, I'm the same I always look at car park groups of cars and think what's the point it's cold your drawing attention to yourselves and it's pitch black what are you looking at?

Pub meet will be really good to catch up with people and hear other peoples ideas and opinions.
