Quantum Tuning?
« on: March 23, 2015, 02:15:07 pm »
Hi folks,

I've been offered a very good price for a stage 1 map on my R32, and the company who supply the map are called Quantum Tuning.

Their website quotes gains of 20bhp and 30ft/lbs torque, which isn't bad for an N/A engine and for the price I'd be paying (50 quid off the given price). Has anyone heard of this company before, and if so, share their experiences?  :popcornsoda:

I've not come across them before, do a Google search and see if other forums have mentioned them. :happy2: End of the day, if it isn't good you can replace the map with a Revo or custom one anyway.

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!

Don't do it! Do some research and don't be fooled by hp or lbft claims and a wallet friendly price tag by a jack of all trades company that will offer a map for anything, from a car to a flaming tractor! All they do is percentage based tuning, turn this up 'X' amount, turn that up 'Y' amount. Nothing more.

Find a decent tuner, plenty out there

There's been people on here who have had maps from them and afterwards they've all had issues. Do a search and you'll see for yourself.

As above - I'm sure there was a thread on here recently outlining all sorts of problems.

Go to RTech! Or if you really must do it from home Blufin Stage 1 is safe enough. Stage 2 gives problems, apparently.

Rtech R32 maps seem really good from the few he posts.
Huge midrange gains.

Thanks for the input, gentlemen!

Apparently they offer a 30 day satisfaction guarantee but I think I'm going to do a bit more digging. It was more the price that was enticing me, every Scotsman loves a bargain  :wink: but if it's a poorly-written map, it's not exactly a bargain is it..
