REVO stage 2+ vs APR stage 2+

[robern2]

I'm sure Revo Karl and Kev and reading this thread with interest. Who's to say revo aren't planning further tweaks to the stage 2+ code in the same spirit of continual improvement ?

karl left Revo long time ago...  Not too sure on Kev there still?

I've already asked this question on seatcupra.net and was told no. Kev actually made a sly dig at "other" software developers saying not to believe the hype. Evan of APR questioned it but got no reply.

Now,  your talking a bit more sensibly..........

I mentioned in my first post that you rubbished, re driveability in the lower gears correct.  Once your up to speed and in higher gears its not so much an issue.  Now I am not a traffic light racer,  but these cars are hard to get off the line with big power and smoother mapping will help this.  People want WALK and Dogbones, mounts etc to help with launch (and hop), so its not just me who might want to shoe it away every so often

Why would you want a car with massive power that you cant get off the line if you really want to anyway ?

Any grievances I had were with your first response, not your opinion.  As you so obviously showed with mine.  I actually 'accept' others opinions   

I can accept your opinion, but it's just that, an opinion, v-box data points more towards facts, which shows you are wrong with your opinion.

dont bite at eachother other software lol reminds me of the mk2 rs forum

end of the day everyone sticks up for there tuner 99% of the time, theres plenty of bad reviews on apr and plenty on revo.. suprisingly alot of the us members on golfmkv dont like apr though

end of the day if your happy with your tune dont worry what everyone else thinks i got revo on mine and its spot on all afr's good/smooth etc etc and making good power but itis a one off custom map still under development with tsr

This is the only Revo stranglehold left most of the other forums aren't big on Revo anymore, and also most of the high profile members ie hurdy, jonny, teff, all ditched Revo too.

They where ok in the past when they had a good mapper, but he jumped ship, so who do they have now? Last I heard the bloke who did custom code, but that might have changed also.

i dont know all i seem to see is revo or rtech? revo is huge at the moment especially on fords now making some really big power 500,600,700hp mk2 RS running revo

teff didnt actually have any problems with revo itself did he mapping wise? and jonny was revo through and through untill he got involved working with apr?

i might use r-tech or giac one day but im not really to interested at the moment

TT forum is mainly APR follow by Mrc and shark. VW vortex mainly APR and GIAC.

Revo seem to be the flavour of the month with the ford guys, but then it was a pretty open market ready for the taking. Whether their maps are great on the focus rs I don't know, they melted my mates focus rs engine so he stopped using them, and my other mate with a 700hp focus RS sticks with jamsport.

As for jonny he stopped using Revo after his TTRS engine was melted.

I stopped using them because I was sick of being told "it's not the software it's the car" and limp mode issues on the RS.

whats your thoughts on mrc? there local to me and possibly another option for me in the future

cool which rs is that? i had a jamsport RS before my ed30 i couldnt fault them

I'd use MRC depending on the engine, but I'm pretty impressed with APR's tuning philosophy, their pro-active customer engagement and their resources. It all depends on the car and your aims.

The focus RS is the green one with pink wheels.

So what's your take on APR and the Stage 3 Group buy the Golf R boys tried to arrange?

From where I stand, APR are definitely Pro-active in filling there pockets!

Do you run a business to lose money? Their kit is proven to over 70k miles, the other big turbo kits out there with tubular manifolds usually need replacing after 15-20k. What APR provide is like a OEM solution, fit and forget, and that comes at a premium.

I'd use mihnea for that for the custom mapping.

Yeah it's Henry

Can I assume your are not aware of the kit situation?

I'm not talking about the price of the kit, i'm talking about underhand tactics which they seem quite pro active in!

What's wrong with Niki?

The stage 3/4 maps from Revo are very very good imo.

mihnea??

There you go again,...............V Box data has nothing, and shows nothing to do with driveability.
