Quick & easy Leon Remap- Help!

[M6ccy69]

Hi All, 1 question for you all. Is a remap the simplest way for a quick bhp gain? What do i do & how do i go about it? Hope this makes sense

 

[Pabs]

Have a search on here mate.

Yes - a remap is the easiest and quickest way to gain a large amount of extra power.

Go about it - pick a remap and go see one of their dealers!

Revo, Jabba, CustomCode, AMD One Click and GIAC are just a few of the remap companies.

On an LCR (i think tats what you have) you can expect a power hike of about 30bhp just from the software. Add modifications such as intake, full exhaust, FMIC etc, and expect a bit more

1 read up on here
2 call the chosen company
3 say "i want to remap my car"
4 agree time day etc
5 turn up on said agreed day
6 wait for a surprisingly short amount of time / surprisingly long amount of time dependant on tuner / software choice
7 pays your money
8 drive
9 try to stop smiling

Ha ha! i`m liking it!

 

[M6ccy69]

whats the difference between the companys? or is it just like different makes of t.v.`s ect ect...?

 

[andycupra]

well the basics are that there are two differnt types of remap.
generic and "custom"

now, generic is usually a bit cheaper and will be quick as its a pre set/saved remap that just needs loading onto the ecu. job done

"custom" remaps are adjusted to your individual car, and therefore if you have other mods a "custom" map can take advantage of this.
i use quotation marks as they are mostly* generic remaps that are adjusted to suit any differnces on your car.

*in my humble opinon

some remaps are put no the car and thats it, you run with the remap all the time.
while some will have the ability to switch them on and off. eg by plugging a module in or even using cruise control buttons if you have this.
some even have the option to adjust its settings, eg boost level / timing etc. all of course at extra cost for these options - and usually a considerable amount...

cheers for that dude, think i`m gunna go for quick & easy option! what u think to the revo 5 hr test? thanks for all the info, its very helpful!

 

[Pabs]

revo 5hr test is a sure fire way of seeing what your car can do, without having to pay anything!

The trial isn't as "aggressive" as the real map - meaning the real map may even be a bit better/quicker still!

Wonder if I could have some opinions from you guys? I was gonna get a REVO re-map after I got exhaust done (what’s diff between cat back and turbo back while I’m here) however I live about 3mins away from Jabba Sport who also do re-maps, who’s re-map is better or what I’m asking is what’s the diff between them both, have done a search (hence this thread) and found a few things about comparisons but can u believe nothing between REVO and Jabba; is it worth the extra drive to go to REVO? Or should I stick with local so if anything goes wrong I can just pop in? To be honest I really would like to form a good bond with a tuner and with Jabba this would be a lot easier, but what’s gonna get me the best for my car/money?

Thanks guys, (sorry for long post)

Bugger all in it on a stage 1 remap

If Jabba are close then for all the reasons you list above Jabba would be an excellent choice for you.

Cheers Steve, was thinking the same thing at back of mind, just reading the quote below thoe, and is jabba and REVO on the same sorta par? are they both generic codes? i have not found a single person with a Jabba remap in their signature, (sorry just lied, only found ppl with Skodas and Ibizas) does any Leon drivers have one?

Customised remaps on stage 1 is a bit of clever marketing, makes bugger all 'real world' difference, sure if your going stage 2 or stage 3+ then the small tweaks and bespoke tuning may produce a product that suits your car better (and suit your specific modifications).

For stage 1 focus on the 'real world' things that matter;-

• Customer Service / Reputation / Feedback from others
• Distance to tuner if you need to go back
• Cost / VFM
• Quality of product (think of testing, development time on their product etc)
• Can't think of any others but any pro's and con's

 

[RobM]

But surely there is still the issue of how the remap delivers it's power and that needs to be taken into consideration?

Different tuners produce different products, that much is true.

People may like a more aggressive map like Revo or a perceived less aggressive like APr.

I know what your driving at Rob but cutting to the chase there are in my own opinion two levels of tuners (well two main levels)

- Bigger more established tuning Co's with back up support and development of products
- Smaller guys with a laptop, their knowledge and ability but less in the way of support and development of their product.

You pay your money, you choose.........Each to his own

 

[skullmunki]

is there a 5 hr trial on the diesel? i didnt think there was.

From what ive read, REVO creates a massive torque surge, which is ok if you drive like that, but its kind of put me off, as I need to preserve my clutch!

Been looking at the Forge (IPro) and Oettinger maps from Awesome-Gti. Anyone had one of these remaps on a derv? cant find any recommendations or otherwise for them on here!

To the OP, ive read nothing but good stuff regarding the Jabba maps!

 

[Smart22186]

Think steve has pretty much nailed the questions on the head for me really, only thing is i dont know the answers thats why im here? i know a few things about REVO and maybe 2 answerd refering to Jabba, but the important ones

Customer Service / Reputation / Feedback from others

Quality of product (think of testing, development time on their product etc

Which is gonna be best?

Cheers CC for the info on the Exhause all seems pretty clear now LOL

There was a thread 2 or 3 days back ref Forge

Think this sums it up nicely
