All Things Mk5 > Performance Modifications
Who had both Revo and APR and willing to share experience?
Janner_Sy:
APR do free upgrades to stage 2 and 2+ which is good for saving money in the long run.
Hedge is running a 2.0TSI so not directly comparable id say.
Both are quick, both are switchable, both are top end maps with masses of happy customers.
Ultimately performance wise id wager there is very little between them unless your expecting 0.1 seconds difference on a 1/4 mile strip or 5hp difference on a dyno to be the deciding factor.

would you be able to describe any similarities / differences?
I know it will be very subjective...

TBH not really, they were both stg2+, but you have the traction with the S3, I think the APR map at the time was more grunty bottom end which would light up the tyres on the ED30, Revo has a bit more top-end. But bear in mind I'm going back to 2008 for the ED30 APR map and they used my car for development so things may well have changed since then. TBH I don't think you would go wrong with either, but have you thought of a custom map from the likes of R-tech, I've been tempted myself even though I'm happy with Revo(and R-tech are a revo dealer) just to see if ther is any difference out of curiosity

If I remember rightly, I had Revo fitted to my Edition 30 by my local tuner but I was expecting it to have been done on the RR they ave but when I collected it and ask what the figures where lie and where was the printout so I can have a quick look at the graph I was god I had to pay another £66 or it to be put on the RR for a printout.
Not sure if anywhere else is like this but it's just my experience so far and I'm more than happy with the map but it's the only map I've had on my Golf.
I hope this helps mate :)

He didn't specify a car in his original post. Just so we can get some objectivity on this what, or who's, car are you running round in at the moment. :popcornsoda:

He's already said golf R enginein post#5 and since its a different engine and turbo I'd say its not directly comparable.
As you know im driving the APR golf R, but read back my posts I've been pretty objective. I could have said I wouldn't bother with REVO full stop because their map on the 1.4tsi has caused loads of forum users massive issues and as usual its not their fault but I chose not to recommend either tuner because as above its not relevant to the 2.0TFSI KO4 so I didn't mention it
