Go down to JKM in portsmouth and have the revo free trial then go for the remap if it suits you. I had a stage 1 map on my Ibiza cupra from Jabbasport which used to drive very well.

The revo is a good all round map and pretty well priced now, Give Kate a ring on 02392639933 and say Luke @ LG Autoworx sent you, they will look after you.

Another vote for Jabbasport, its a bit of a trek to Peterbourough but IMHO worth it. Ive had 3 cars done by them & always excelent JKM & the Revo will be good but the Jabba custom map just gives that little bit more & Michael can tailor it to what you want from the car

cheers all,im just gona do the local thing as its not really worth going mad on it as it will always only be a 4 door mk4 golf but is totally drab with 150bhp and must say the AUM will go to at least 195bhp with a chip and maybe upto 214bhp on good day

You will never get those figures out of it mate! you might get near 190 on a good day but never over 200 on standard K03 turbo and exhaust etc. My ibiza had the milltek 100 cell race cat, forge turbo intake and stage one jabba map and has just made 185 on the rollers with a slight missfire.

Have you tried Kartechnic in Poole? They are very competitive and top lads to boot. I believe they have a map available for every car and they set the maps up personally so if you need it tweeking (ie economy modes, smooth boosting etc) they can do it for you. Triton motorsport by the airport is easily at hand if you need to rolling road it to verify figures.
