REVO or CUSTOM CODE?

[Gooders]

Im thinking about having my LCR re mapped but cant decide what the best route to take is...REVO map or CUSTOM-CODE?

I've had a CUSTOM-CODE before on my GOLF GT TDi and was very impressed...whats the difference between REVO map and CUSTOM-CODE? benefits? disadvantages?

cheers

end of the day, both packages are excellent, stg1's are similar, customer care is also excellent from both providers

IMO, it would come down to cost and location of the said company seller, as its something which has been discussed many times on here before

...are the performance gains the came, JBS say with the CUSTOM-CODE i can expect about 275bhp and 270 lb ft torque, they've got an offer on at the mo which is £350 for re map, green cotton panel filter and FORGE recirculating valve...how does that compare to REVO map?

forget figures, thats for pub talk only

its how the car drives

as I understand it, Revo is more aggressive stg1, and CC is a bit more progressive

either way, "on the road" there will be very little difference between the two

275bhp from a stg1 is IMO a little optimistic

255-265 is a little more realistic from a stg1, but then this is JBS's rollers we are talking about here.....

what does a stg 1 do to your fuel consumption?..im aware that more power = more fuel but does it use a lot more fuel or just a bit?..im getting about 250-300 miles to a tank at the mo depening on whether ive got lead boots on or not lol

...what did you mean by "this is JBS's rollers we're talking about"?

depends how heavy your right foot is in terms of fuel consumption

typically though, fuel consumption is improved

Been considering this myself for a while, I got the impression from other peoples comments that the CC map is a little smoother and not so aggressive. CC were doing a discount not long ago but not sure if that thread is still running on here?

 

[jamiebennett81]

personally, if I was in the same situation, I would go for the Custom Code

I have had the stg1 Revo on my Ibiza a few years ago and it was very aggressive and I have heard similar opinions from others

but others may prefer different

stg1 is fairly generic with minimum mods, so as said, both will do the job nicely

its not a discount - it's just "the price"

305 for cc you cant beat it

 

[turboboy]

custom code gets my vote for the price

Where's J0N when you need a glowing report on CC and JBS?

good is it then?....

J0N rates it, though he took mine out yesterday, which is completely standard, and he pointed out that it has less lag (because of lower pressure?) and gets moving quicker, but it's clearly down on power. When a few of us moved on from the Chesterfield meet I was right behind him and I was struggling to keep up. I don't know if he was booting it or not, but there was no way I'd have kept up with him. I'd got JonoD behind me and he's just had a P-Torque remap on his pre-facelift LC, supposedly to 217hp, and I was keeping him behind.

I do know that J0N rates both JBS and CC very highly though. It may be worth noting that he has other mods as well, it's not just a CC remap. I wouldn't dare list them, so I can only suggest that you check out his RR thread

depends on ur driving style i suppose


ive got a stage 1 revo remap and i love it becuase it gives me the agression lower in the revs

as im an A to B driver (no motorways), its ideal for me

really does give u a great feeling!
and ull be pulling away from ALOT of cars


as for fuel consumption...

ive done a few tests with full tanks
A few tanks with complete easy driving and a few tanks with pure aggression

the fuel economy improves nicely if u dont boot it.
but when u DO boot it, ull get about 50/60 less miles on a full tank.

if i go nice and steady now i get about 300 miles to a tank if im lucky and about 260 if i give it some welly and mine is standard 225bhp
