Try a search for "remap" mate. Plenty of threads on this.

R-Tech usually come up as favourite as they are cheaper and will get the most out of your setup, with customer service you can't fault, you get a health check before and the car setup on the Dyno, whole process takes 2-3hrs.

Revo will get you similar figures, but as it's a franchised service it's just a guy plugging a laptop into your car and uploading a map. A decent installer will do some logging and adjusting of the settings to make sure the car is happy with what is being asked of it.

With Revo it really is down to the guy that uploads the map, so if you do go Revo make sure they know what they are doing  :happy2:

Well went to v-hub today and got stage 1 map installed  :happy2:

Graham did a superb job firstly diagnostic health check, backed up my current file, flashed the new code and set up the map. Finally we went out on the road test and did some logs.

The car feels amazing and really pulls hard. What's better is it's only an extra £50 to go stage 2 once the hardware is in place  :happy2:

Top work by V-hub once again!

I've got Revo stage 1, and I really like it too... just a heads up.. If your battery for some reason gets disconnected, the revo file will revert back to stock, so You will have to get the car programmed again (means another trip to the tuner).

If You want to "retune" the car again Yourself, You need an SPS-box from Revo.

Other than this little "annoyance" I'm very happy with my Stage 1  :happy2:

Yea i swapped my steering wheel for mfsw and found this out. All the settings in the map revert to zero and requires setting up again. Only 10 mins work though and the mapper shouldn't charge you again for this

My local tuner does this for free, but it's still 40min drive each way, so I'm looking for a 2nd hand SPS-box  :smiley:

Make sure it's the latest model as the sps 2 is no longer supported.
