I have revo on mine and am happy with the way it runs. I have never had the chance to have any other maps on it to see the difference but i think a lot of people on here like r-tech.  :happy2:

Sorry to butt in but whats the difference between Revos stage 2+ and stage3 (which is for a k04 build?)...

Can't go wrong with Revo...

Revo wasn't good for me when I had it BUT this is before they released the new file which solved the lean on idle fuel issue (switched afterwards)... Stage2+ and Stage3 (K04) I think its the same but with some tweaks due to different engines?

APR = massive torque!  :laugh: (Summer offer, and you control your map via Stalk!)
Revo not sure since the new file update...
Good reviews with R-Tech, unique custom tune for your car (good price too!)

Stage 3 is the software mapping for the k03 to k04 upgrade.

Every ones numbers vary mine has ran 370bhp consistantly that most people would say converted cars cant get.(maybe a couple of dodgy dynos) James stage 2+ edition ran on the rollers straight after mine and only hit 345bhp with the apr map but did have slightly more torque. I think thats down to the edition's engine more than the map though. I think the normal number most people get from stage 3 is around the 330bhp accoring to people on here.

I took your advice and stopped recommending a trader that has always given me and numerous others great customer service for a great price, Just like AKS has done for TFSI mike etc. . . .  :wink:

The strange thing is, once you have had your car mapped by them you get this overwhelming desire to tell everyone how good it was   :innocent:
TBH R-Tech is selling its self on here and other forums i'm sure (see posts above), they dont need my praise anymore  :grin:

PS: Still havent heard a bad word against them - almost unheard of for any tuner. But don't get me started. . . .  :evilgrin:

I'm all about APR now  :laugh:

I can assure you, the only money trading hands was from me to them for the FANTASTIC remap I received  :P

If you can accuse me, you can accuse everyone else for praising a tuner for good service. I also recommend Statllers for Cam belt changes at every opportunity I get (you missed an opportunity there TC  :grin:)

Also, the last remap thread I commented on, I suggested a list of top tuners recommended on the forum.

As said in my response to your last comment about me supporting my local tuner, R-Tech don't even map the car I have now so I will be trying another specialist and will no doubt be singing their praises too (providing they do a good job).

As I said previously though, no one has ever come back and disagreed with what I've said so there is obviously some truth in it.  :happy2:

Only the FACTS. . . .  :star:
