I wonder if the likes of Awesome GTI will revert back to REVO now.

I'd imagine it depends on which way the fanboy/scene/flavour of the month tuner wind blows...?

 :signLOL: So true!

Is it Groundhog day already.  :laugh: I seem to remember this happening last time a couple of years ago.
Surely they have to get permission from the MK council to shut the Graveyard down. Where is everyone going to take their blown up engines now.  :sad1:

Order a fuel pump whilst you're there. Their latest stage 2 + map they just updated again is really impressive.

Awesome was APR originally, Then switched to REVO around 2008-2009 and switched back to APR in 2012 or 2013

Because obviously the APR profit margin was better than the REVO one. There is no other reason than that... dont care what anyones says!

Actually Revo profit margin per map sold is higher.

Why did AMD and Awesome leave Revo?

Well there's several reasons.

Current Product range
Future product range
One company investing heavily for the future
One company currently in turmoil

Revo in turmoil... tell us more.

Pulling out of the UK (again) isnt exactly investing in the future of UK tuning is it.

They haven't pulled out of the UK....Keith still has staff in the country and more agents than ever, arguably two of the biggest VAG agents at that and one of the bigger Traditionally jap tuners has become an agent too.

I wasn't aware a company required a headquarters in every country they want to do business to operate.

As for Revo I'm not going to tell you all about their dirty laundry as it doesn't concern me nor have anything to do with me, plus you give off a major vibe of being a person that's schadenfreude with a lot of your posts.
