Upsolute - Pro's & Cons

[ScottieC]

I'm thinking of getting my PD150 remapped. So far, having read loads of threads on here I'm leaning towards upsolute, based largely on cost and customer service.

I would appreciate the thoughts and comments of those who have had experience of an Upsolute remap, or any valid reasons why I should not do this.

Thanks

If you're dealing with Simon Coe - I see no negatives.

Ditto

Yep I have UPsolute and have had no problems at all with it installed for nearly 2 years. It was Simon who fitted mine.

I had mine done by mike at impossible performance and he can offer a customised map too it's good stuff

 

[m0rk]

no he can't - upsolute is upload & go - not custom

JIMYU wasn't implying that it was just UPsolute that Impossible do, IP offer custom maps as well as the UP ones. UPsolute can offer slightly different (though still generic ) maps should you want low smoke / high power / shagged clutch....

I don't know the ins and outs but I had upsolute for about a year then I went down to IP this month and mike tweaked it. I thought he customised upsolute but I could well be wrong.

He only charged me £100 because I "had the basic map already"....

Good bloke, good chip no probs

Never heard any complaints with upsolute!

Their maps may not get the very most out of your car compared to other mappers, but then the cash savings are there!!

Had my Leon 110 done for a year now, No problems whatsoever so much easier to drive slow or fast. Simon is top class! comes to your house too. Cost me £305.

Upsolute do make some nice stuff, and there are alot of happy customers on here..
Personally I rather not have to open and solder anything (when compared to just downloading via the port), but that's only my opinion.

 

[johnbev]

I am sure Simon gives the option of either serial port download or chip upgrades, not sure on the price differences though. From what i remember when he was here it works better on some cars download compared to chip.
He is very competant, he certainly looked like he knew his stuff.

Should have the same result, if the maps are the same.

getting my mk4 tdi cupra done tonight !

will be interesting to see what its like afterwards !

Simon is a star.....

I think that Upsolute isn't as an agressive map as REVO... so less power BUT less chance of hardware issues...

Im very pleased. Been 8 months or so now. Different car.

I'm leaning towards Upsolute on my Passat. Had a quote of £295 from Simon, plus I've heard countless people sing his praises regarding customer service.

 

[CupraR Kier]

i had an upsolute on my cupra r from mike at impossible and have been back three times and each time he has made the car perform better than ever two years and no probs best choice by far

Simons a lovely chap

Had UP on my 180 LC and it was very very smooth.
I fooked about alot with that car ........n75's, inductions, bleed valves, exhausts and the Up code took it all in its stride and never went into limp .
Would push 21psi and settle back at 12 psi at the red line.
May not be as aggresive as some code but is superb value for money.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this softaware

Upsolute sounds good I might go for it but was thinking of getting revo stage 2 cos of the mods on my car like full milltek with milltek sports cat, induction kit and wanted to put a 4bar fpr , I dont know what to do ???????
