The PF cars couldn't, when they were current, be remapped without an EPROM change. Not sure if that has changed, but not an issue on facelift cars.

There's a small number that've had Revo maps on D2s that have felt they added something to the car. If you want an extra 20bhp, or at least what feels like it, if you run regular unleaded swap to high octane stuff and you'll feel that increase and then some!

I looked into the Revo option, even as far as having my map read off the ECU because they didn't have a file for the ECU version I have. I decided not to do it because I wasn't convinced that what I would get would improve the car without the risk of damage. I also started a job where emissions control is a major part - what I learnt early on from that job (which I still do) is that mapping is a whole lot more complex than a lot of remappers would have you believe. The difficulty is telling the ones who know what they're doing from those that talk the talk. Even big companies haven't impressed me when questioned.
