I am looking for an upgrade for my Mk5 GTI and had been directed toward Revo a few months ago. They told me an upgrade was in development but it has been delayed by a few months and I am getting impatient now. Does any one know of anyone else who does a similar thing? I liked the idea of having several maps that you could put back to standard if the car needed to go to the dealer. Cheers

Have you tried Jabba Sport, AmD Technik or Star Performance?

Very, very upset to hear you drove this without me having first refusal

Not a happy bunny about that at all

That upgrade is not easily reversible if the car goes into a dealer for warranty work is it? A concern is that a dealer will be able to detect the upgrade and the invalidate warranty claims is the car develops a problem. I like the idea of being able to switch maps backward and forward.

This problem always slightly miffs me as you don't feel the car really belongs to you until it's out of warranty.
