Who had both Revo and APR and willing to share experience?
Kregiel:
thanks guys that's all very helpful!
Just to clarify my car is golf gti and the engine needs replacing for those who did not follow my break down thread!
I will be ordering golf R engine and it will go onto my golf gti so it will be FWD not AWD. I have all supporting mods to go as far as stage 2+. Not sure I want to with what happened to my car but bought gti as a used car so always a big question regarding the past despite full FVWDH.
On K04 gti my local tuner did a custom made map but since this opportunity arises I would fancy something else for a comparison

Aha, finally.....No to both!
I'm running GIAC software, and VERY happy with it too. I'm sure that the Revo was good too which I ran at stage 2+ also on the R, but it didn't float my boat for the upgrades I had in mind. Personally I think APR has some very good maps, but I'd never use them again as the network support in my area isn't there and in the past they have been "sporadic" with customer support. My local tuner who I trust implicitly with my car only does Revo and GIAC. Revo are a very good company with a lot of history in the UK and a good support network. I've had a few issues with them regarding map availability and their flexibility to help the customer with custom mapping and this was my reason to go with GIAC as they do offer several custom and tailored maps. The only downside to GIAC is that they are primarily based over on the west coast of the USA and so actually getting the custom maps takes a bit of extra effort due to the time difference. However their customer service has been excellent with me and so long may it continue. :happy2:

Oh, and If I put all support issues aside I would still choose the GIAC map, with Revo second.
