And at the end of the day this is a predominantly 2.0 TFSI forum - not a twincharger set up.. Besides, the 1.4's are so flimsy they generally break a supercharger before you even get a chance to map them unfortunately. :confused: :confused:

err no they dont, thats utter rubbish, not on the 180ps version anyway. Ive never heard or read of a single supercharger failure on either SCN, VAGOC or briskoda. Mines happily soaking up stage 3 power.
FWIW, i might have a 1.4TSI now, but before i had a 2.0TFSI. From what ive read of your replies, this is acting like the stereo typical fanboy. You have no experience of having either REVO or RTECH on a 2.0TFSI yet you seem to be able to say one is crap and one is awesome.
also just to add, ive never had REVO on my car either, i chose other companies for all my cars, but I have driven many REVO 2.0TFSI from stage 1 to stage 3 and i know its not a generic setup. They ahvent lead the market for this many years with a generic product!!
What im trying to point out, is that you cant come out with those sort of statements without any technical back up or personal experience. Looking at a dyno sheet doesnt tell you how a remap is actually performing with its power delivery. On another note, which tuners are the fastest on the 30-130 or the 1/4 mile...theres proof there

Fanboy? Lol mate jog on. I read reviews from owners who have had Revo,Bluefin,Superchips etc, and then had an R-tech map, and various other peoples input, and then make a balanced decision on what I have seen.
Fanboy is blindly supporting them.
I support R-tech because of the quality of work, the willingness to give advice and the overall professionalism of the service they provide.
Plus I have dealy with them before.
I have not seen 30-130 but who really cares? Apart from Plonkas. You can make any car fast flat out, what about nice smooth power that builds with good mid range?
As for quarter miles as I found out at Santa Pod at Springfest, times can vary wildly depending on launch, wind, gearchanges, etc. It's an idea but arguing over a few tenths here and there doesn't really prove anything unless on the same track at the same time with both drivers getting good launches and gear changes.
A dyno chart is plenty enough to see how the power is delivered. As that's what its purpose is!
When you see a huge torque spike at 3000rpm followed by flat line, to the redline, that's not a good map.
It's all about "under the graph" area, increasing power and torque over the WHOLE rev-range not just mapping it with a huge spike in the power to make it feel super-duper fast and fry your clutch.
I would have a Revo map on my car BUT
I wouldn't pay their extortionate prices. They are more expensive than R-techs custom maps and not tailored to your style of driving or exact car/exact mods.
I would only get one as part of the occasional £150 deal that comes up. And then after a few months I would still take it to R-tech.
The TIV mapping is just off the chain.
As said above, we are all going to argue if we carry on so I've said my piece and will leave it at that.

Yes they are mate.... :happy2:

What I am amazed at is how R-Tech can suddenly make all their customers experts in the field of tuning. :grin:
But at the end of the day......

:grin: all part of the service
That's what I mean when I say Nick shows you what he is doing. May suggest a lot of you Revo boys are "experts" of their products. . .
Wonder how many of the 700ish setting combinations are actually used. For example, b1,t9,f9 would that even work?? Can't see that being optimum on any setup. Recon it's about 8 commonly used settings. Do you use different combinations for different exhausts for example? Like Milltek or BCS? Can't see the limited adjustability being able to cater for different flow characteristics of an exhaust. . . Anyway, neither of us see experts so the whole debate may be flawed :laugh:
Anyway, I agree with the caption.
Come on Hedge throw us a "thanks" for this one :party:
Saintsteve:
Just to add, it took my car 6 hours of setting up at RTech. From old map removal to adjustments and tweeks with the new TiV map.
In that time I would say about an hour was spent on Customer education lol.
Well worth the trip :-)

Nicki doesn't roll cars out every couple of hours, He will book in no more then a couple cars a day, and will work till they are complete. No start/finish times at Rtech. The working day is done when no more can be done.
I've said enough of what I think of Nicki.
Several people have been since my review and not one has disagreed with anything I've posted. Nuff said.
