Mk1 Cupra R 225 best remap?
- Thread starter xLASTxNiNjAx

Imo give the Revo a miss. Even though it's only stage 1 I'd go to a proper tuner depending on where you are in the country. Have a chat with them about rolling road tune and not a crappy generic map with a cupra R...no rolling road...walk away. You say you have a clean well kept R then treat it right from the start and pay the little extra attention to it. May even get a deal if you fancy stage 2 after a while.

Hi
Great car choice.
From your neck of the woods I’d go to Badger5 and see Bill and his crew. Proper tuners. Rolling road.
He’s in Stroud.
I travel to him from London.
Do some research. Bolt a couple of bits on and have a custom stage 1.
Bill’s great. Knows his stuff.

For stage 1 I'd prefer a generic map! I'd rather have a tried and tested map installed - we see umpteen posts a year from people who have had crappy spikey maps installed by the previous owner. I'd recommend APR: http://www.goapr.co.uk/dealer/
And as a counter opinion I'd recommend a tuner that understands the engines diagnostic and will read the demands and actuals for all aspects and adjust to suit and stay safely within the limits.
A generic map cannot take account of the wear on each car and will just smack a "should work" on it but sometimes do more harm than good.
When a one size fits all costs the same as a bespoke, what would be your choice?
Any decent tuner, applying generic or building bespoke, should fully check out your car for trouble before upping the power.
Ultimately you need to talk to several tuners and get written assurances and testimonials.

I would say a custom session with Bill at Badger on his rolling road has produced fantastic results for my car on a stage 1 Custom Map. I have bundles of power and high torque
Delivery is fast, hard but smooth. No spikes, no flat spots.
Badger5 and other proper tuners
take all the perameters into account and adjust to ensure ideal power delivery safely deployed and within parameters that won’t bend your engine.
As said above why pay for a standard map. A one map fits all?
Something tailored will always be superior and costs the same give or take 50 quid.
We’ve seen plenty of people come on here with dodgy high torque rod bending maps telling us it a generic map from XYZ.
Some of the big names too.

Some of these tuners flashed Revo back in the day hyping it up and some still do. Lessons learned and some not. Be careful who you go to and check history.

What this guy said, there's no other place I would go for a remap. Not only does Bill know the 1.8t engine like the back of his hand, he takes time and reviews his own custom map to suit each individual car and of course not all Cupra Rs' are thr same.
Stop hesitating and get a date booked with Bill.
