All Things Mk5 > Performance Modifications
Start of the slippery slope - is there any difference between Revo & APR?
poko:
you shoud never believe graphs ! that's the first thing.
all dyno runs are done on WOT and in day to day driving it is much more important how the car acts on half throttle as well.
i am an APR man myself , but to be honest , both companies have had years to perfect their software for this platform , so both should be good.
APR has a huge advantage if you use their hardware as well (HPFP , Carbonio , Exhaust) since the software was optimized for that hardware specifically and will give better results than a generic software.

It's swings versus roundabouts. Both Revo and APR are very good.. It's all already been said what the advantages of each are.
Don't forget that each modded car is different and has different hardware mods which influence things.
I have Revo2 with RevoDSG on K03.. Am very happy indeed for my style of driving.

Well APR it is.
Had the full fat map put on today and the car is just what I want. Really smooth and huge amounts of power when you press the loud pedal.
Revo was too harsh. Felt a little all or nothing in traffic.
Love the cruise control options too.
Good and bad. £400 offer at Awesome at the moment. Bad road tests but no rollin road dyno.

I think it's mostly Revo customers on here TBH.
There are many APR customers out there...many on Seatcupra.net
I had APR Stage 1 AND 2 with APR HPFP and RSC exhaust on my ED30...great combo with the cruise.
The map is super smooth.
Now back in a 200BHP MK2 16V !!...with diif / shorten FD and more...it's quicker on track which is the reason I got the car back....I /TSR built it 7 yrs ago...in VW Driver in a couple of months.
Back to maps...they are both good maps I'm sure but the cruise option and the R&D by APR swung it for me.
The MK5 needs serious money thrown at it for track work being that much heavier and the need to cool everything down ie FMIC and brakes as well as the usual stuff hence why the MK2 Golf is serious value as a track weapon...MK5 is a very good road car though.

....So true! I kinda enjoy my slightly compromised hybrid though - Fast road but occasional track though not on the absolute limit in either case. Also why I've stayed at Stage 2 remap.
