Radical Remaps.co.uk ?? South West - Anyone used them...
« on: January 09, 2012, 05:26:35 pm »
Hey,

Wanna get the golf remapped, starting to do my research, REVO quoted £600, there is no way im paying that much...

Just spoke to Bryan at Radical Remaps, works remotley around the South West, anyone have experience of him? he's quoted £300.......

If not, can anyone recommend Remapping in the South West? cheers.....

Excellent, i picked up your post yesterday, it now seems to have vanished...

anyhow, have contacted the company you recommend to get a quote, can you tell me any more about them?

did you get your golf done? how much did it cost you?

Mobile remaps can be risky, make sure you understand exactly what you are getting before paying out any cash, the amount of re-remaps we carry out is shocking, people buy cheap mobile remas, have problems, struggle to get them back and give up. Then pay again to have the work corrected.

Any tuner worth using will have fully insured premises and preferably dyno facilities.

Where in the southwest are you? I'd suggest a trip to R-Tech up near Birmingham.

There's the prices. Yeah that's where I went, from Bristol as well. Give Nick a call, they're really helpful.

You will get a much better final result with a drive to Nick than just a mobile tuner.

Big difference in performance, I had a custom stage 1 done. I'm near Bradley Stoke so not far from you  :happy2:

The ECU is a cars brain, would you pay a doctor to come out and do surgery on your brain at home? Best go to hospital and get it done were they have all the tools  :happy2:

My way of putting it  :signLOL:

Good luck  :drinking:

When you look into maps it's a minefield, like this thread "has anyone tried here,there etc etc" Revo have allways been good and because of this there well known for there maps so I guess it's just less hassle to pay for one try know is going to be good without without any hassle  :driver:
