Also if there is more than 3 people he will open on a Saturday

Current price is £399+vat... so circa £450.

Got any more info on this?.
Why was revo binned?

I had talk with JBS who apparently used to be one of the largest Revo dealers in the UK...JBS created CC because they wanted to tweek the Revo map, Revo only allow tweeks within parameters and wouldnt allow this apparently...so CC was born, tis a much smoother map with power available through more of the rev range...although there seems to be hardly any difference in performance when driven side by side - tested by me and jimmeh in his revo'd S3 (several runs)

I got that from the chap that owns JBS....lets not forget that mapping firms are sales people though ....i chose CC cos i wanted a smooth map, this was explained whilst i was waiting

let the games begin. If you like a linear delivery (booo!) then go CC. If you like a punch in the back when you hit the loud pedal get REVO

I'd get a Jabba map, ive raced my mates Revo S3 and through the gears from standstill i've got the edge, not much but a bit...

The biggest difference we have noticed is if we are both cruising at 60-70mph and both put are foot down in 6th i pull away a lot quicker as he's still waiting for boost... A completely different drive to be honest, Revo can be very flat if your not in the right gear, its all all nothing...

dont like revo, id go for a cutom live map nothing else

 

[MintyS3]

Revo. Tried, tested...done.

Here we go again

smooth remaps are better in reality i know the kick in the back is good when you accelerate but you try feathering the throttle through a tight twisty section to adjust your the balance of the car with an agressive remap and i bet you struggle when its either on or off the power, thats the way i look at it anyway. the throttle maps were smoothed off a bit with my remap so at first i wasnt that impressed untill i noticed how fast the speedo was flying round.

 

[Y83OLK]

TBh, in my area (southwest uk) theres very few places to get a remap...
Alan Jeffery offers superchip. Ap motors offer Unichip - piggyback..or Volkscraft offer REVO.
I dont want to travel 1000+miles to get a marginly smoother map.

As much as i appreciate your opinions, this thread was only to see if anyone else wanted 'In' on group discount.

 

[Y83OLK]

however, i was driving a GolfV Ed30 last week, with revo stage2?? supposidly over 300hp/350lbft.
The grin gears(2nd and 3rd) were insane!!

 

[voorhees]

Revo all the way...you will be driving back with a big grin on your face like this

 

[badger5]

revo has select options so adjustment is possible if you fancy upping it or downing it... CC is fixed code..

between the 2, cc is the smoother delivery, but revo has the punch low end, which on 4wd will hve some traction..

different codes, with different strengths and weaknesses..

price is just one differentiator, features is another.

both work fine.

i will be getting a revo and i live near exeter, however im going to be on holiday until 11th oct. When i get back i need to sort out a haldex fault before i go for the map, so unfortunatly i dont think it will tie up. Do volkscraft have a rolling road? I have made the trip to TSR performance in bridgewater before for there rr. and they are a revo dealer. If i am paying for a remap i would like to have some dyno results to see what it would actually be making.

If your looking at getting a remap have a look at this thread http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/showthread.php?t=78544
There a group buy going on 11 members so far only 2days left before it closes. Also with the group buy if your getting your car remaped there 20% discount on milltek exhaust

CC will do a home visit free of charge IIRC .....if i was doing again i think i would go for a custom map, although cost would be a decider depending on mods done

 

[johnnyboy]

if you are any where near wareham dorset, jpd are very good just got my 5hr free map.what a change need a new dv before the big map but at about 85% map it is smoth & goes allot better.always worth asking for a cash deal aswell

 

[1animal1]

yup worth noting that you cant go to another map firm after Revo map as it reverts to a Revo standard map as opposed to standard factory.....there plenty of examples where people have had to have their ECU's rechipped because they couldnt over-ride the Revo...i suggest trying to drive each car if at all poss

 

[Y83OLK]

UPDATE....
Found a CC dealer within 60miles from me, so popped down there and got it done.
WOW!... smooth power delivery.
Made, 259.4bhp and 283lbft... over the moon with that.

good results there. got to be happy with that.

REVO all the way, I have been in CC, AMD and MRC but revo pulls really nice from 3k rpm to 4k love it. and it has the edge when it comes to torque.

i thought they had stopped that service some time back
