Stage 1 Ed30 - Which Remap?
marka87uk:
I'm thinking about a remap for my Edition 30 and I see most of the people here seem to be running Revo and then the majority of the others running Bluefin.
If I only really plan to stick at Stage 1, what would you suggest? I'd be aiming for as close to 300bhp as possible but I've read previous reports of the Bluefin not reaching claimed figures (does anyone have dyno graphs of Stage 1 remaps of a Bluefin and/or Revo map?). I also notice their website states they're now using the same maps for the manual and DSG versions!?
I was quoted £600 inc VAT for a Revo map at AMD Essex with before and after rolling road runs but a Bluefin would only be about £410 inc a 10% forum discount, however I'd happily pay more for the Revo if I knew I was getting a much better product.
What would you suggest? :smiley:

Where are you based at?
What about P-Torque in Wolverhampton? I'm running Will's stage one on the Eddy and it makes 300+bhp, as do all the mk3 Leon Cupra's that they do.
They only charge circa £300 for stage 1 with before and after rolling road printout..
Here's my printout running 95 fuel..
I also had Will's stage 1 and stage 2 on my old Ibiza cupra and made great power :happy2:

REVO will give you better figures thats for sure.
HeavyD swapped from bluefin to revo http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,23578.0.html
But has had issues since the swap

I had bluefin myself. i swapped to shark performance which was very good and a vast improvement. Priced in the middle of revo and bluefin, but on par with revo performance, and with the option of a handset if you wish. Theres only a handful on here who have used him, but on briskoda he has the monopoly when it comes to remapping. (almost like revo has on here)
heard good things about ptorque as well. Im considering REVO for my TSI when it comes, but am leaning towards ptorque and bluefin. id rather make slightly less but have the longevity

Revo tends to be a lot punchier and more powerfull than Bluefin as bluefin is a generic '1size fits all' map. Dont overlook good independants either, many get similar results and drivability to the big brand tuners (Revo is £499 for stage 1 and our own custom tuned stage 1 is £299) some of our customers actually prefer ours to the big brands they have had in the past.
Ignore mobile tuners that offer the world for £150 in an obscure carpark on a rainy sunday afternoon and tuners without dynos to test and develop their software or email your software off to Germany and wait 15 mins to get back a generic map probably copied from a £5.99 disc purchased on ebay.
Find a local specialist with a decent knowledge of your engine type with the right diagnostic tools and you wont go far wrong :happy2:
