£899+VAT for the REVO upgrade, decat price sounds high though!!!
Got REVO on my RS6 and it's great but then I would say that!!!
Our stage 2 includes a full milltek system+full decat, so the price is not just for a decat. Regarding reliability on our maps, we have customers runnning regularly over 300km/h in France and Germany and so far everyone is happy. We may not get or claim the highest horsepower, but at least we tune for these cars to last at very high speeds.

Why quote the customer a price for a full exhaust system when he already has it though?

and I'm sure he would've mentioned that when ringing up for a quote or you would've asked what modifcations he has had done to his car?
so basically all I was saying was (as the infomation was portrayed in the post) that the price seemed high for what he wanted, if it includes a cat back exhaust, the downpipes decatted and the remap then fair enough but that still sounds expensive though ;)

Corey, sorry for overlooking the fact that he already had a full Milltek so Lucas certainly has quoted him only for the downpipes, instead of the full Milltek system. However, if you have a problem with our prices, maybe you can call Lucas and ask him to justify the quoted price???

Also, I don't see you registered as an advertiser/trader on this website, so I think you're a bit cheeky to come on here to attract customers to you by saying that we are too expensive.

Just my 0.02,

Mihnea

Mihnea take a breathe and chill out, just pulling your leg, I though the french had a sense of humour???
No not trying to attract customers at all, which is why my post says nothing of the sort dear boy just that the OP was wanting remap suggestions and as REVO do a very good product for the RS6 I thought I would mention it without saying who what where and why (see even this post doesn't advertise anything about my company ;) )
And I certainly don't have any issue with your prices you keep them as high as you want!!!

Corey, what you didn't bear in mind was the fact that the catless 3" downpipes were also fitted for that price if I'm not mistaken. If you've ever removed/installed downpipes on an RS6, maybe you could figure out how long it takes to do and how much money one could lose if anything goes wrong and ends up taking twice the time quoted.

And for the record, I am not and have never been French...

My sincere apologies, what are you then (other than a PIMA lol) so I don't make that mistake again.

Removed and replaced quite a few and know fully what to charge for the job but we don't have to pay a third party to do it for us as we do it on site and yes you are correct then if something does go wrong then the company has to take it on the chin and absorb that, but surely you are not charging every job twice the cost just "in case" it goes wrong as that's how it reads Mihnea.

I would recommend www.evolutionchips.com - I've used there files on MANY cars and vans without ANY issues. For those who dont know evolution chips is a trade name of Motorsport development. They provide all of the following:

* Insurance backed tuning
* Lifetime Warranty
* 7 Day money back guarantee
etc etc

So many so called tuners get there files from these guys ;)

Cheers
Bobby

Bobby, do you work for them? Also, how many S/RS cars have they ever done and how far have they pushed them? Maybe I shouldn't post this here, but obviously I know a bit about them, and maybe they are a good generalist who can supply a decent diesel stage 1 chip/file for their many dealers, but we're talking cars and engines that are worth a lot more than a mk4/5 golf TDI engines, and I doubt their lifetime warranty would ever cover an RS6 engine or even a turbo for that matter...

No idea what tuners could get their files from those guys, but we are proud to do our files ourselves, and don't rely on anyone for doing our own tuning, otherwise we would have never done a few 700+ BHP RS4s, as no one has done them before us ;) Another of our prides is to own ourselves the cars we work on and produce kits for, so we can offer our customers upgrades that we have very thoroughly tested so they are as close to perfection as possible. Do Evolution Chips or Motorsports developments own an S/RS?

Edit: it's pretty obvious from your signature that you do work for/with those people... so please give us a break with this blatant advertising, you're obviously trying to make money off of people's backs when you've probably never been anywhere near an RS6...

Hi mate - yes i've got a dealership with these guys and know they them well ;) hence why i use there files. I'm actually on the hunt for a RS6 myself and did ask Kenny @ Evolution Chips how far has he taken these and he didnt try give me BS and in fact told me the truth that he can do a stage 1 file or if i can supply logging data can write a custom file. However, if i changed the turbos etc I rather leave the car with them to be honest.

With regards to how many RS /S they have done - i have no clue as they have over 80 dealers/installer throughout the uk and euro, so I'd be completly guessing

There lifetime warrenty is cover on the map file All Evolution Chips OBD remaps come with a no quibble lifetime warranty against corruption or other defects.

In terms what they have mapped to what levels - i can only really comment on what i know - so I know that they have mapped several YB cosworth engines to 500 - 600hp - for those who dont know these are 2.0litre engines ;)

Hope that helps
Bobby

If i was advertising on here i would have given u details of my site, but i gave Evolution Chips - i dont own that business so the chance of me getting any business from it is pretty low wouldnt u agree :?

I love RS6's and come on here to share a passion.

Bobby, you're obviously advertising for people whom you work with, and who have obviously never done anything above a stage 1 on an RS6. The question here was for a stage 2 remap (custom, and not the same type of custom as you think you get from EC, meaning mapped live while the car is being driven), including a special gearbox remap, which we are the only ones to offer on the market. Sorry but I think your post probably wasn't appropriated... apologies if I upset you.

No need for apologies I think we got our wires crossed - but to be fair the author of this thread never mentioned stage 2 remap hence why i posted my recommendation :)

I don't know u guys have gone off on one and lost me but never mind still appreciate all the input and I think I will be sticking with MRC as they are reputable for working on the Rs's, has anyone out there had a full stage2 with de-cat miltek an upgraded air filters??
If soo what do you think, what sort of differences have you noticed and have you gained substantial power above stock??
