Default 3.0TDi Remap - REVO or Bluefin

Guy's, as cars now come up to 3yrs old (end of warranty) I've got the itch for a bit more power and maybe a bit better MPG.

With both companies offering Xmas related deals (20% off) has anyone got any experience with them on the 3.0TDi?

Revo have a good rep with the four pot lot, the RS lot don't really use them. I can only recommend www.MRCTUNING.com . They are a lot better than Revo from what I've seen/heard and have done plenty of 3.0 TDI's, also, and I know this is the case with the C5, you cannot map it without doing the gearbox, so look into that. Plus with MRC you get a full health check including a pressure test to make sure there are no boost leaks, important when you're making components work harder etc... MRC don't do discounts or offers though, they don't really have to!

Thanks for the reply, yeah MRC would normally be my first shout for anything RS related, don't mind paying their prices and they did lots of work on & mapped my S2, really happy with it.

As the A8 is mainly used as a chauffeur car tho, it was the 300 - 350quid Revo/Superchips re-maps that caught my eye. if I was going "bigger" power on the A8, I'd def be off the Banbury again tho.

Cheers

You can ask our forum members A8Doc(John on Bigfishtuning http://www.bigfishtuning.co.uk/) or mkoneman, I am sure they will be happy to help.

Personally, I'd go to shark performance (well.. I'd go to BroTek, the local guys who do the Shark maps, but you know what I mean)...

The PO of my car told me he had remapped my 3.0tdi. Subsequently the person he worked with told me he never had. When I challenged him about it he backtracked all over the place before finally settling on telling me the person he bought it from had done it. As most of what he told me should have started ..... Once upon a time.... is it easy to check.

If its not been mapped i'd get it done
