Angel Tuning Remaps....

(1/3) > >>

johnhol78:
I've been looking at the countless threads on here to find the right map at the right price for me and sent a query to Angel Tuning.

I got an email today from them with the quotations and packages they offer. After seeing the price was very good, I looked on here and saw the horror stories about liquidation and support, eBay maps and working out a van.

I emailed them back with my concerns and had a very detailed email about the testing done and the fact the company was sold off though is now under the cartuning.com umbrella.

This is a section of the email you maybe interested in -

You will probably find that most of the good tuning companies will produce similar results as we have all had a lot of experience with these cars and put a lot into development. We are however the only company to go as far as testing mapping at Millbrook Proving ground and are the only company to have been featured in a Sunday Times article :-)

Along with other reassurances I was given I can safely say that once my service has been done and a few pennies saved - I will be going there for my Stage 1 remap.

If you are looking then do have a look at Angel.

I'm actually annoyed at the monopoly that Revo seems to have and the price they charge. I realise you pay for what you get but there must be a point when prices come down, though not with Revo. They maybe the supposed best though this should not mean others aren't worth looking at. (rant over)

Not to sure what you are upset about. If you want to get that map get it, does it make the map better for being tested at Millbrook. it must be one hell of a special map if it can tell were the tarmac is below it.  :rolleye:
At the end of the day it's your money, spend it on what you want.  :wink:

I was merely saying that you come for advice but the majority only know Revo so dismiss all others as second rate. I was only getting the hump the same way I do about Apple Macs etc (way off topic) massively overpriced for something not that much better.

Being sarcastic about the fact I was impressed with the maps being tested thoroughly on a testing ground, doesn't really help me, but does help prove the point about dismissing other options. Why would testing at Millbrook not be good thing? If you know something that I don't then great, but for us newbies we need options and help to make these choices. Buying the most expensive option is not always the best solution.

Hedge:
I didn't think TC was slating it he's normally more direct than that.

As said it's your money so you choose. There is plenty of opinions on here regarding remaps, some good and some bad.  :smiley:

Hedge is right, i am am normally more direct when in attack mode.  :chicken:  :P
You are welcome to trawl through my many thousands of posts, and i will guarantee you will never  find me ever slating other maps, even though i have Revo in fact on numerous occasions i have encourage people not to give up on superchip maps as after a bit of fooking around they often work well at lower level of tune. The problem with most advice on here or anywhere really, is we all don't like to think we make poor choices, so defend our decision's good or bad, and all clan together to affirm this. Which means its hard to get genuine advice.
With engine mapping their is less room for fook ups, a bad map ( could ) do a lot of damage to your engine, so even though Revo is costly and perhaps over hyped, it's fair to say that with so many members on here with Revo's  code, its safe to presume that it should not damage your engine in anyway if installed properly. for me i would rather pay the extra couple of hundred or so, to not have to worry problems.
But as i said it's your car and your cash, if your happy with your research, go for it and post how you get on.  :drinking:
