Thats one of the problems you get if you order an 'off-the-shelf' remap... its why I went with Revo and had JKM install it. I seem to recall Keith from JKM saying something about a cylinder misfiring or something but that it wasn't serious and that they had adjusted the settings to take care of it. Never had a problem with my Revo map. Of course, you could get a tuner to install the SC remap and again, I'm sure that would be better than remapping your ecu on your own. Ready for the :fighting: from SC owners :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

IMHO it's not an "off the self / diy" remap, it is a remap developed like most other tuners on specific cars and then mass distirbuted via a different method. I believe in it's standard form it brings a remap suitable for people who are generally less interested in doing further mods, but for the likes of me and a a few others on here can provide an upgrade path without charging £50+ per time. :smiley:
Also why would a company like JKM sell the SC stuff if they didn't think it was up to the job? :happy2:

cmon guys this aint a my maps better than yours contest, we all have opinions :grouphug:
The maps are all in the same 'group' as SteveP states.
The issue with any map is that it pushes components closer to their limits than stock, esp it appears for ED30 tunes.
My belief is some tuners push the envelope more than others.
Also the variances in each car mean the limits can be at different points.
As well as how up to the job the OE components are at point of remap.
Problems can also be seen straight after remap, or even a few thousand miles later. (e.g. coilpack failure)
My issues werent found at Prosport RR day but happened after, so even a setting up session may not have helped or found an issue. (even if the APR software allowed adjustment! which it doesnt....)
REVO's big selling point is adjustability which can either take you to max hp, or even allow you to 'dial' around a problem to some extent.
SC big selling point is remote mapping which is a huge benefit for some
Each to their own, but I know my reasons for choosing and each and every person has theirs too. (for which we can all justify lol)
Ive always been concerned that small changes in REVO settings can cause DTCs so for me thats too close to the envelope (esp as im not going to be putting ££ into hrs of rr tuning), but in no way would i discourage others, as REVO gets great power and reliability seems solid.
Re SC I'm not a fan and have my opinions, but it seems to work well, good power with many (my biggest concerns have been around the changing low and high power maps etc)
Lets keep the info coming :happy2: I'm very interested to see how this turns out, both for me and gareth.
(remember the same fault codes dont indicate the same issue!)
REVO/SC/APR/GIAC , if we all had the same map this forum would be dull.
In the end do your research (hrs of info on the web esp on golfmkv.com) and choose a mapping company that works around the parameters that you need. (cost/location/after sales service/adjustability etc), and just because brand A suits your needs today doesnt mean others wont in the future.

I know. I had issues too when JKM put the Revo map on and they were sorted immediately though. Moral of the story is to get your car mapped by a competent garage/technican.

Ooops... I think people are getting the wrong message here! I'm not knocking SC here - although I have been a bit suspicious of them in the past thanks to TT :confused: - but am just saying that its better to go to a JKM/Awesome/BBToys etc.. to get your car remapped regardless of what map you are getting be it Revo/GIAC/APR or God forbid, even Superchips :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :grin: :grin: :wink:

Fair comments Illyun :happy2:
As said previously I can only really comment on SC and each and every time I have had questions over any aspect of the map they have offered to look at the car at their HQ FOC.
And to add to this thread, my Stage2 map giving me 324bhp hasn't given me so much as a hiccup in around 1000 miles. I will be at SC HQ on Friday and will report my findings here once Im home! :drinking:
john_o:
and in the essence of fairness I should also point out that a RR session with a remap should always be done imho.
APR@Awesome dont routinely (and i think they should). REVO dealers some do , some dont.
I can already see the myriad of excuses from Santa Pod on the 2nd :grin: (probably mine :sad: :grin:)
