ECU Flashes for '06 Polo GTi

[Timbo]

Just to respond to Guy, the first point of liability is in fact the dealer/workshop who sold & installed the product. More than likely, the lawyers will add the importer/manufacturer.

That's why the quality of the dealer is critical, in the first instance. Unfortunately in Australia, you can often locate the importer/distributor of a quality product, but then sometimes discover the local dealer knows bugger all about the product, has a workshop that looks like a chookyard...and you get the feeling the 'prentiss will be torture testing your mod on the trip for lunchtime 'burgers.

OK, I'm an old fart...so I readily admit I'll now happily accept a second best product from a quality dealer, simply because I have someone I'll trust and will go back to. On more than one occasion, I have even troubled the workshop I trust to fit a product that normally another dealer will handle. Yes, it'll cause all sorts of problems if something goes wrong, but the workshop is the key.

All this sounds very wise, but I am soon going to post about getting a mod to my car that breaks all my own rules

I need to add something here. As a very recent customer of Guy's(today and yesterday, in fact). Remember the wheels & bonnet, Guy? :=)

The service, presentation, attention to detail and overall knowledge by Guy and Alex on all cars maintained by HP is nothing short of awesome.

At no point in time would I fear my car in their hands.

All of their cars were on display, and I'm sure if asked, they would readily offer a "drive" to a genuine customer to "check" their products.

I've been to some downright s*itty workshops. Of which, C & J Motorsports at springwood was the WORST. They do a fantastic tune and produce quality results, however, I dont trust a single person there with my car alone. To me, they came across rude, arrogent and unhelpful. The tune tho, was fantastic, drivable and economical!

Just my 2psi.

PS: I love the APR tune with the two maps. The stock map aint bad, but the 98 octane map makes me wish I had better tires

Glad you are enjoying it!

After seeing that black bonnet strip, I'm convinced its the way to go!

Greetings,

Thanks so much for your reply!!!

Chips I think are ALWAYS going to be very sensitive, no matter what car/vehicle you speak about. One is always going have something over the other!

I currently reside in Park Ridge, QLD.

Thanks for your input tho!

One of the other things I could add here ... tried the Powerchip and sent it back. Guy let me try the six (engine) hours APR settings and they were great. Like those before me ... I'd say Giac or APR/Oettinger.

Curious why there is no mention from anyone about the Revo Technik flash ?
They seem to be on par with the figures quoted by the other people, yet only $1200 (Am i right that the others are around $1700?)

I spoke to Volkswagen Village at Kensington and they were happy to do a 6 hour trial flash as well.

Anyone have experience with this ?

Search is your friend, beefa...see http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/newf...ead.php?t=4078

I've had the Revo flash for almost 2 months now, and am very pleased. Even more pleasing is the switchability I have with the SPS2 switch, which allows me to bring the car back to 'stock' performance in about 20s, and also to tune for 100 RON.

George at VWV did the work for me, and was great. I also believe the Revo chip flash represents excellent value for money.

This topic tends to become tribal for no good reason, but I absolutely stand behind Revo as an excellent option for anyone seeking a chip tune

Thanks Timbo, sent you a PM
