Revo can do it for £388 as they've got a diesel sale on at the moment. Would that be a safe bet? They're claiming just a 25bhp increase - but I need it to be reliable.

Anyone had their 1.6 CR re-mapped?

I think Revo are the safest bet as it was they've done a lot of testing in collaboration with some tuner in belgium on the engine. It's why they don't have the biggest power boost figures, their testing suggests that higher figures puts too much stress on the components, They've got bigger figures during testing but opted to go lower to get a reliable product

Part 1.
1.6TDI tuning ... Craftsmanship vs. Marketing
EEAP
Since mid-April 2012 APEC Belgium provides a tuning for the 1.6T0I engines of VAG group. As you have just are preceded by a month-long period of research, development & testing.
Since early 2012 we had 4 cars available to extensively test: Audi Al 1.6TDI 90HP, 90HP VW Polo 1.6TDI, 1.6TDI 105HP VW Golf 6 VW Caddy 1.6TDI 75HP and this has enabled us to tuning developed prior to public launch.
On July 6, 2012 announced CMD Technologies (Flashtec SA) that they will soon offer a solution for the 1.6TDI engines, since the market is flooded with offers: Stage 1, Stage 2 at very low prices, knowing that these providers still do not have access have had access to the engine of this motor pallet, at most one original file could be read (the beginning of an important R & D process).
Specifically, if one on July 6, 2012 Tuningen already announced for the 1.6TDI but still no tests were possible you as a customer so the guinea pig, without exception, it is no different.
We have decided to meet these marketing stunts not to participate and our Tuningen to continue to offer the price 600eu VAT and power measurements including, before you get a tuning tailored to your car, whose basic parameters and were tested on both investment bank as public roads on our test vehicle, with us you are not a guinea pig.
As of today, the tuning at APEC happen the day (+ - 2 hours work), 2 phases are no longer required.
Quick cash, high turnover appears to have been the mainstay of many of our competitors! How are going to deal with unexpected circumstances and with the long-term effects is not known, which is a big gamble with your vehicle the test instance.
Tuning a 1.6TDI engine can not be compared with any motorization to date:
- The engine is particularly sensitive to high exhaust gas temperatures (reliability in the short and medium term are at stake)
- Opening / closing of the ECU requires some dexterity (an ECU that is not a professional way opened or closed will eventually suffer water damage)
- 1.6TDI 's equipped with DSG-7 (DQ200 dry clutch) to the torque of 300nm not (APEC Belgium has the solution ready, and adds this adjustment without additional cost to the tune of the 1.6TDI with DSG-7, as can you to enjoy the maximum reliable power and torque).
- There are clear differences between some cars (smaller / larger intercooler, smaller / larger intake pipe), without the knowledge, the power on all versions are identical with all possible consequences.
- Eliminating / increasing the speed limiter as a direct result at higher speeds than the ex-factory value of the exhaust gas & oil temperature ARROW FAST go up, resulting in the short and medium term engine damage (turbo damage, leaking head gasket, ...)

hello mate im thinking about going morebhp for my 1.6tdi remap please let me know what they are like mate
hello mate is this all of what revo have said as im looking for a remap for my 1.6tdi do you think they would make a bigger intercooler and bigger intake pipe for the seat ibiza 1.6 tdi model to compensate if you were to have near 150hp put into your car
.
how much was it to have the map done..i might go to a garage near me in london that does the revo map and see how much it would be to have mapped..you got anymore power mods your thinking of..im hoping that a company will make bigger intake pipes and intercoolers for these cars cause seom fo us will want more than 150hp out of these engines
im looking at a k@n air filter i wish they would consider like a 57i kit for the 1.6tdi model as they do them for 1.9tdi models...and please let me know what you come up with mate.if u got hold of an s3 intercooler do u know where to go to have one fitted and what sort of hoses would u have to buy
sounds excellent mate please keep me updated about what they say on here.would love more power out of mine.let me know if they say if ud hae to put an audi 1.6tdi intercooler on or a 1.8t version on.
