Has anyone got any experience of upsolute?
thier website shows an increase to 212bhp and 221 lb/ft but are thier products any good.
Or should I save up for another year for a revo upgrade?

A few mates of mine have upsolute chips on mk 4 golf turbos. All of them were done by a place in york. They are all well pleased.
I think thats the ones i will be going for for the leon. They are really good prices from what im told.

Chubbs,
I live in Fareham and work in Havant. I'm always going up and down the M27 and A27, my girlfriend works in Soton.
My mate lives in Waterlooville so I'm over there sometimes too.
If you see a shaved head in a black 03 Cupra it's probably me.
my friend have the upsolute on he's car and he is very pleasd from it..
i saw is car in action and it drove very nice.

Lets hope its not the same Upsoluted MK 4 Golfs that attended the recent Rolling road day( Club GTI ) ( NOVEMBER ) @ Motorscope in Northallerton because there were two there and they didn't fair too well .
All Forced induction cars suffered with heat soak on the day due to the prat conducting the testing not having a clue .
Think from memory the best of the Upsolute chipped Golfs were still 15 bhp @ wheels adrift from my 20vt Ibiza ( AMD Remap ).
IMHO stay away from a generic chip and go to one of the many tuners who do remapping .

Now then simon ,
glad to see youve bought yourself a leon M8 nice move .
will you still be going to Club GTI meets in the leon then ????
cos that will make two of us amongst all the VW even though some have the Seat 16v engine transplanted .
I've been trying to organise a meet at Cross Keys one Sunday when the weather is up to it ,
So far Blkcupra ( Red ibiza cupra teeside park ) said he will come so when i post it up you will have to come along .
Before you go down the Upsolute route will let you have a drive of mine ( AMD) see what you think .
Remember you are already starting with 180 BHP so the gains to be had aren't as good if you were starting with the 156 bhp package .
Still you should see 220 bhp /240lbft ( Jabbasport £425 ).... niiiiiccceee !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope to see you soon
Jools :cheers:
