I was planning on doing a stage 1 remap but guessing it just consists of remapping the ECU and that's it? (Don't have a lot of knowledge on cars)

Also, I want a pair of Xenons but mine doesn't come with them standard  :sad1: What would I need to do if I was planning on getting some?

A decent remap should include a health check, dyno runs and proper tuning until the optimal result is reached.

I had a look at R-tech's website and also some reviews  :grin: So far so good, everyone seems to be happy with the results but the only thing playing in my mind is that, who's tune is better? Or if there the same...

Revo or R-tech?

I don't have either, but you do have the SPS route for switching your tune with the Revo, not sure if Rtech offer a box for that. 

However, by A LOT of accounts the Rtech tunes really do make the most of the each stage of hardware.

I'll have to go with R-tech seeing as it seems the better option from what people say. I won't be doing it until October anyway but I thought a pre-shout would never hurt  :smiley:

Welcome mate, if you're car didn't come with factory fitted xenon's you need to buy a pair of xenon's, kufatec adapters & someone with Vagcom to code them for you. With mapping I'd say Revo/APR/R-tech & get some pictures up! :happy2:

They don't do a box at £150. They do switchable maps via a pedal combination. Someone in the review section showed a video of how it works. Ingenious  :surprised:
