SOOOO APR or REVO remap? Stage 3

[sniperftw]

Right, well for the record, in no way am i accepting free merhandise/software to hype it up if it's not true!!! IF it's ****, you better believe i will explain it this way! I plan to be as independent as i can!

At the end of the day, i want to open up the market which is saturated with revo (for good reason) because as stated competition breeds better products/prices!

So yeah i think i will go down there on the 14th!

My plan is to post before and after graphs including a comprehensive review from start of the day to finish, including customer service etc!

 

[Al]

I am sure you posted somewhere else you were getting this map for free?!

 

[Al]

So i've been given the opportunity to get an APR remap to replace my REVO one FOC.

in no way am i accepting free merhandise/software

PMSL . Sorry - just my sense of humour

Will be interested in the result

What's the spec of yours Al? You should come down to inters this summer dude!

 

[Al]

Arsed with driving that far Pov - thats a 1000 mile round trip!

I am sure Anthony37 will come down with his Revo S2+ Cupra K1 though

Personally - I'd want paying for the privelidge of taking time off work, fuel, trialling 'unproven' software, fuel back to Revo, labour charge to reinstall map

So despite you saying you're doing it for free, or whatever version of free Al pointed out you'll end up with a wedge in your back pocket to ensure you're satisfied.

Back to the question.... would I? Not a chance if what I had worked well. Especially from an adjustable software, to a non adjustable, assuming the CC stalk doesn't do much more than swap between a couple of steps.

On a total aside, APR seem not just happy to have an aggressive 'PR' campaign against other tuners, they've now gone into writing accusing forums (us) that we've been bribed or bought off to prevent them using the forum.

Incidentally - this is bollocks, Keith has a login, last used today (and has posted previously 77 times) - and has made no contact with us whatsoever. So I guess not everything people are getting told is the truth?

Make it a holiday? Stop off by Bedford autodrome and set a how fast lap time? Take the missus on a spa, or even come down for the Olympics aswell


Edit:

I don't understand what people mean by unproven software.

The car map has been confirmed to be fast by 5 forum users, 3 of em which frequent Scn, it has been independantly dynoed at 370hp, highest stage 2 plus car of the rolling road day I believe, it's been confirmed by the owner to be quicker than his jabba stage 2 plus map, and the demo car has been vboxed independantly and it's pulled times.

What more proof is required?

 

[Al]

Nae chance - If I am going on holiday, I am going somewhere the sun shines and getting there by 747

Proof could be things like r/r plots (high peak numbers on a r/r mean nothing if the plots are shaped like ski slopes), VCDS logs, Proven performance, 1/4 mile time + terminal speed, VBox figures from something other than a demo Golf R DSG which is clearly going to accelarate faster than a manual Leon with front drive and no DSG etc etc etc.

In all fairness regardless of tuning company a, b or c, 99% of customers think any remap is "fast" compared with what they have/had before.

Nothing that has been presented is in any way conclusive.

Dude i said i wouldn't take free stuff in order to HYPE up a **** product! please read the whole thing

Yes i am getting the map Free of charge. But if it's ****, i will tell them and you guys! Which means i will subsequently make a trip to revo to get mine reflashed!

Look if we never give anyone new a chance how will there be better products?

 

[Al]

As I said, just my sense of humour and interested in the result

Peace!

you gettin it done then mate? good on you.

i am saving desperately but just bought a new downpipe so will be going stage 2 straight away.

 

[Smee]

Care to elaborate further mate?

I think Sniper should go for it personally. Although would the fact he's running a K04 upgrade rather than a Cupra engine make any differences or give APR any wiggle room for a slower car? Just playing Devil's...

Great point Dave - no point trialling a new map on a car that isn't running properly, unless Sniper is trying to get a little free diagnostic work - which might go some way to proving that APR's customer service is helpful

yea the ko3 engine is physically different internally to the ko4. if you went ko4 its advised you get better stronger rods

If your only upgrading to K04 turbo, it is not required However if you were to go GT3071R etc then yes it is needed then (stage4)...

 

[Smee]

depends who you speak to. alex at BDM advises against not doing it on ko4.

 

[mrbubba]

How do you guys afford to fuel these beasts !
Standard mine costs me around £60 every 7 to 9 days (and that's standard unleaded!)

 

[Smee]

i do 8 miles a week lol i walk to work and use my car to go shopping or to get me to football.

 

[LC_15]
