Yes mate, was chatting to a guy about them the other day. Backed by money from the far east apparenttly.

They do the same as minhea, as in real custom re-map. Not sure how though, as they do it remotely.
I was told they would get the serial number from my RS4's ECU and re-flash it with the original code to get rid of the corrupt REVO code. (apparenttly even resetting my REVO to standard wurh my SPS3 could cause 'issues' at a later date.)

Anyway they would have my car for 3 days or so, getting the code and re-map correct - it all sounds good.

I am tempted, as they are the same price as MRC. RS4 not listed, but have been informed they can do it.

Word of caution. I was at a tuners at the beginning of the year (won't post any names) and they were agents for this new custom-code outfit. There was a fella their having his S4 done. He was there all day. He phoned my after and said they could not do it. Maybe just the agents of course.

IMHO Why go to an unknown quantity at the same price as MRC when you can go to a proven tuner? Just my 2p worth.

Let us know if you get any success with them.

Always risky with new tuners...... thought it looked interesting. Tomson, why do they need your car for 3 days ? Seems a long time...or are they doing other stuff too?

No , not doing anything other than a re-map. That is the time quoted on the website. I will still be using MRC. My cats are ready, just need to find the money for the re-map. Minhea - do you do finance ?

Three days............ they could completely re-write the entire code four times over in that time...... sounds and smells like farmyard to me.......they usually work from standard code and modify it, keeping a copy of the original file incase you need to revert to it.... takes a couple of hours and thats it.. :sleeping_2:

I agree, seems strange to me too. I'll certainly keep using MRC if I can get hold of them :wink:
