AMD or Revo Re-map

Rick Adamski

Guest
I have booked in for some upgrades, Milltek Cat Back, 007p and Pipercross Panel Filter. I was going for a stage 1 AMD re-map but with the upgrades they will go straight to stage 2. I met a cupra owner there and he had a revo re-map done and now I am unsure which to get. ANY ADVICE?

From reading loads of remap threads, noone is ever disappointed no matter what they get. So I'd go for the cheapest/most convenient.

Obviously only counting reputable companies like Revo/AMD/Forum Sponsors.

+1 for Revo :D

Try and go to a local meet and ask to go out in forum members car as a passenger (hopefully you may be able to find one with AmD / Revo / something else).

They're all pretty good, so find a good independent who is local to you to support in case you upgrade further or have issues.

AmD are very good, I love my map.

Not to say the others aren't any good, i've never tried them.

I think that is the problem. Whoever you ask has only ever bought one of the options, so we all say ours is the best.

I bought AmD based on their friendly staff and on recommendation of forum members.

I don't think you'll go wrong wherever you end up really.

Had a revo map done just last week and i'm pleased with it but not had a AMD one. miles per gallon has gone up as well as performance. had mine done by JKM.

Having had both AmD on 53 plate car (top pic), and Revo (on 05 plate car below), personally I found Revo just felt a touch more dynamic. There is no right or wrong answer, just personal preference, it's as much about the smoothness of the map as it is about headline BHP, hence why it's handy if you can sample their handywork.

It's like choosing between a flake and a Galaxy ripple, there isn't much in it really.

Are you sure you will get stage 2 with just a cat back, panel filter & 007p diverter valve mate?

I thought you would at least need a turbo back system with high flow CAT and a front mount intercooler?

ask yourself what type of driving you do?


i do alot of A to B's and revo is PERFECT because the torque comes in early and its always available lower down the revs!

Although only stage one im very happy with the AmD map especially as i got it with the discount from one of their open days, the 70 extra lf/ft of torque comes in handy too :).
Id only go the revo if you want the functionality of those SPS switch devices as they do sound cool but real world id never use it.

Turbo back exhaust/ cat is a must for stage two. Ideally fmic too.

For me it would have to be revo. Stage 1 software is aggressive and punchy, stage 2 has so much more useable smoother power delivery. But what makes them stand above the others is the sps switches. They make it so easy to tune on the fly, allowing you to change settings depending on conditions like ambient temps etc. There is also the anti theft function which i find very effective and useful.
