Mapped cars

[rtd]

I’d like to hear opinions/thoughts of owners of mapped cars. I’m considering remapping my car to around 680BHP and 900NM. My car is a daily driver and has just done 26k in the last year.

What’s the map like to live with on a day to day basis, is it a night and day difference over a standard car and any cons?

Seriously considering this too a revo

MRC or bust.

Just don’t grumble if you blow something up and warranty work is refused.

As above.

Other tuners are available, but if i was having any Audi RS mapped, MRC would be where i'd be heading.

What's the cost at mrc cheers

I know I will get hammered for this, but I don't really get the whole mapping thing given the warranty risk, on a car that kicks out silly BHP and torque numbers in standard guise, is it not quick enough for our crowded, potholed roads?

[joinery80]

They are never quick enough

I know mate, but where will it all end? On the Bonneville Salt Flats maybe?

Nice that you have reputable tuner in your area

What's it like ? - just so awesome! Talk to DMS; don't think you will regret it for a moment.

I'm fairly sure RTD won't be using DMS after his C6 issues with them

Don’t swallow the power pill and act like a sheep!
Who are you going to call when it all goes wrong !?
It’s all a calculated risk, I went more local this time, based on convenience and previous experience.

What does bemuse me in the mod and map world is what people omit to tell you,
I wonder why they pretend things don’t go wrong and hate to admit it?
Then when some issues arise you find out that they have already suffered the issue ?
It’s like a mate giving you a bum steer or is it the more the merrier ?

Perhaps there needs to be a form the tuner signs ?

I can use the car just like I do normally.
I don't need to use specific petrol/lube etc.
I am aware that by tuning the car I may invalidate the warranty.
Should it fail you will agree to use a company to inspect the root cause and should it be related to the tune (underfueling for example) the tuner owns the replacement/restoration.
Other statements like this highlighting the implications/responsibilities of both parties.
Unless something is done it remains a troubled situation.

I chose to have the tune set to 99ron only. Stage 2 can be run without, but who would put the lower in anyway?
I’m happy with the balance I’ve acheived this time, new car, the agent/installer and Revo accept responsibility for the tune. Revo created it and the agent that chooses to use Revo installed it.

Not all circumstances are the same, tuners are in a difficult position with a car previously tuned elsewhere and damage may have already occurred.

What issues were those? Do you have a link as I'm curious to know what you are referring to Ian?
