Shark performance

Post by John Johnson » Mon Jun 18, 2012 10:12 pm

I have an rs4 as one ir two know and its been great , not overly impressed with the revo map on it tbh and last week it threw up the eml so i ended up popping down to shark performance after having a chat with them at Renishaw hall car show last weds ( the tech was in his mk2 rally car ) and they diagnosed the faults and a few solutions , today it went in and they replaced the parts and then the revo was removed and their own map was written onto the car by Miko who actually writes them too , a few things were tweaked and off he went , the car was also given a health check and came away unscathed . I picked the car up and was impressed how smooth the car was but when i turned the gas on fooking hell fire did it go ... Big time and a lot more ooomph up the top end too ....very happy . It just needs a wheel bearing checking next ! They also do routine servicing so the ur quattro is going next as they have alsorts of projects going off

Can't say I had the best time with shark performance with my octy vrs. I emailed them 10 days ago asking them to look at my STS box and after an acknowledgment email nothing back. I know a lot of people like them and I think I am in the minority of people who didn't. Two of the three maps I got off them left terrible flat spots in the octy as well.

Glad you are pleased though. I haven't got the bottle to remap my new car, would love to though.

Fair comment as to be honest a lot rave about the map that was on but this is a better map for me .

Been driving the old shitter a bit this week to get a feel for it and it's brilliant now , seems a lot brisker all through the rev range oddly , very pleased and mileage should just hit 80k soon :thumbsdown: wheel bearings will be looked at Monday as it was all that was flagged up on the health check too
