Plenty of choice and opinions on here as with all forums.
REVO is well established and has a trial version which is FREE and lasts 5 hours ignition on time. REVO is switchable via optional SPS units so you can tune it up or down from the std code if you want to. A large UK dealer network also.
APR also have this same trial option on their DPP code.
^^^Both the above are serial port programmed so no chips fitted and non invasive to your ecu. Might even be called "stealthy" :p ;)
Other options are mapped on the dyno and tailored mapping. worth thinking about if you have other mods you want to optimise. Jabbasport offer this.
Other names you will come across being AmD, Upsolute, DMS Oneclick etc etc etc
Good luck.
Always worth considering a trial.. but beware your car will never feel the same again.. :) Much slower once you get used to 260+bhp
Seeing as you are in Scotland there are only a couple of local options.
Revo up in Inverness, or StarPerformance in Kirkaldy.
Other than that you are looking at travelling down south to get anything else.
I've got a StarPerformance remap, and im more than happy with it.

Shaun, not sure exactly where you're based but we've got Drivers in Glasgow - 0141 332 5800 and Duncan Sutherland Diagnostics up in Inverness - 01463729486
Welcome to the wonderful world of the forums, you'll find alot of useful information on here... probably get a couple of warnings from your boss for being on the internet too much as well! ; )
Last time i looked on the website it didnt show Drivers being a dealer, and last time i passed by they didnt have a RR.

That's because they were only setup earlier this week and the details haven't been updated. Having a rolling road isn't a necessity.

Ahh, intermolesting.
I know its not a necessity to have an RR, but its nice to know the car is running 100% okay before you apply the new map.
You don't need a RR to prove that either though.....

Thats why we use vag-com and datalog things, fault code check etc... ;) :)
