APR vs GIAC vs Revo - Need opinion

[Sharkie]

Its only about $150 extra so its worth it.

APR Australia announced a sale last night so for this month when you purchase your Polo GTI software for $190 you not only get the two programs standard, you also get:

• Security (stops anyone accessing the switching)
• Anti Theft (can not take the car even when the keys are in it)
• Throttle body align
• Fault code erase

& 4 engine programs of your choice from:

• Stock
• 95 Ron
• 98 Ron
• 104 Ron (RACE GAS)
• Valet mode.

Volkspower can install a free trial for you & put you in touch with some of the Polo owners if you wish.

The APR is recorded to the vehicles VIN number, so if reflashed by a dealer, its installed for free at your local APR dealer.

Security mode wont allow access to the programs unless a valid PIN number is entered into the cruise control firstly, so there is absolutely no sign of APR in the car when this is used!

Only 190 for the tune?

What if you already have the software? $190 to add all that?

Not $190, it looks like $1590.

Guy .... what about existing customers ? what do we get ..... ie TBA and another program ?

Also, the std modded program is 98 anyway ? Do you do a 104 for the Polo ?

Thanks Tosspot... no aussie site and there info didn't fill me with confidence so going to go with APR... okay one last question how long in advance did people book to get it done just want an estimate seeing as no point in me ringing, seeing as I don't have a firm date on when I'll get my car.

So your basing your decision on how well its marketed ? <shakes head>

got mine done a few weeks ago. i rang the day before just to make sure Dean (volkspower) was going to be there around the time i wanted to turn up.
It takes about 15 minutes or so, so Dean just did it when i turned up. No booking as such.

Sharkie, if you need any extra programs, we will cut you a good deal

[Guy_H]

P.S. generally everyone chooses 98 ron (thats in your car)

Yes, we have 104 ron for the Polo - but you must use MARTINI / ELF or similar race fuel!

Isn't that what marketing your business is all about? How is anyone meant to know it's a better product? And, from all reports, they are all so similar that it's personal opinion... marketing can sway personal opinion.

I looked at Euroclass's site, didn't find a mention of the GIAC tune, nor did it have any prices. I'd rather have all the info in front of me on the net to compare without having to talk to salespeople cos they usually try to talk crap to make a sale (I deal with salespeople all day).

Hahaha since when did the quality or performance of a good/service have anything to do with how well it sells Its got more to do with maintaining and developing the perception of a worthwhile and valued product than actually producing one ...
