His point was, yes it takes a good driver (personally I think it's down to the amount of hair gel he uses - less drag), but there can't be anything "wrong" with Revo as he can set good times with it.
Good Driver + Good Car = Good Time
Bad Driver + Good Car = Bad Time
Good Driver + Bad Car = Bad Time
Anyway, miles off topic (as usual).
@Mark - first decide if you want switching + timing (i.e. Fuel Type)/boost adjustment - that narrows your choice down to 3 + possibly one (RS Tuning mentioned they were launching switching IIRC). This is a slippy slope, because once you have the ability to really fiddle (SPS3, V-Tune), you really need to get vag-com to do some logging to see the results. Then you'll spend your live wanting to go out logging, loose all your friends (apart from the ones that have a laptop with a battery that holds charge) and spend every other waking hour searching for Shell stations that sell V-Power.
The companies that offer switching etc. usually offers trials, although the trial code is not always the same as the full code, and some of them offer XX day money back deals. The cheaper ones, might also offer trials, but yo might have to ask/suggest/beg - I don't really know.
If you don't, you can go cheaper, but I would make sure that whoever you go with knows the 1.8T very well - you can have problems, not with the code/remap but with boost leaks, coilpacks, N75, sensors etc. Easy to fix
if you can diagnose the
problem. If the mapper's first reaction is "the code's fine, mate" then you're in a world of pain, if they suggest you bring it in for them to have a look, then you're not.
One thing's for sure, they remap
really well - you'll love it.
