good deal on giac, but wanted revo !
« on: April 20, 2010, 08:22:52 pm »
Ive been reading every giac and revo thread everywhere for the last few nights !

Ive been told that i would be sorted with a giac remap ! the trouble is i wanted revo !

My bolt ons are exhaust, s3 intercooler and ITG intake. Im not sure what im going to do though ? has anyone here had experiance with both revo and giac, or just giac ? what do you think of the giac ?

I know mosts opinions of revo and its all good im not sure about the giac, as ive heard a few people say its a bit jerky in its delivery.

Im only going to apply one map so if i was to get the giac and not like it then want the revo i wouldnt be spending another £600 on the revo as id just stick with the giac !

the differance in prices is going to be £350 cheaper for the giac due to the deal im getting if this would help make up anyones mind !

i had revo on my last car and giac on this and have to say i prefer GIAC,  in no way was the power jurky and gives the same performance as revo, it also allows you to change maps on the move.  you wont regret it!!  there are a few guys on the seat forum contemplating switching their cars from revo to giac

cant compare maps as not had giac, but from your list of mods and in particularly the ITG intake you have, revo use it on their development st2+ k1, but I believe giac specifically request a vf intake for their extreme map

i have had no complaints with revo, the adjustability of the select plus switch is great, especially if you plan on getting extra mods like water/meth, k03/4 actuator etc

as for performance from looking at the 2.0tfsi 1/4 mile top 20 - i believe its 18/20 are all revo

evening......

i had giac stage 1 and a evoms intake fitted at the same time about 2 weeks ago,not jerky at all pretty smooth.

the car has gone from a quickish car to a very very fast car, my two previous cars were 911 4s and m3 e46 and i would say my now

moddified edition 30 could easily keep up with them if not beat them!!! :pomppomp:

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...........................................

Mike its just a deal im getting with the giac mate, it wont be available to anyone else. The money im saving on the giac remap would get me an autotech HPFP and i believe with giac i should be pushing 290bhp which sounds good to me, the main reason i was thinking revo was due to the customer services and reliability, im not too bothered about head line figures! i just want a smooth progressive drive thats reliable, saying that ive not heard of any reliability issues with giac, i also believe they run less aggressive settings so thats got to be better for reliability, even though there are no issues with revo !

I do like the custom set ups of revo and i think people rate the power delivery better.

Anyone got any links or reasons why th cupra guys are wanting to change from revo to giac Ta !

depends which map you are comparing to each other.  if you compare GAIC extreme + to revo 2+ i would defo say GIAC is the more aggressive of the to for sure, as for power outputs, no 2 cars have been put  side by side yet  with the above tuning on similar cars.  depends what you want out of your car... giac is changable on the move where as revo needs to be stopped and fiddled about with, Revo on the other hand can be specifcally tunned for WMI etc which is great...  nothing to choose between the 2 in performance i would say. both are  :driver:

I don't think you'd be disappointed with either of them mate TBH. I have had Revo on all of my turbo charged cars and don't think i'll ever change as I have always been more than happy with both the performance and customer service..
