Petrified Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Could anyone who's had their 100bhp sport remapped let me know a couple of things? please style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> 1. Which remap you have2. Which engine you have ? (AUB/AFK) (and/or year)3. Was it a custom remap or generic?also if you know what sort of gains you had, and if you know which ECU you have would be handy style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubweiser Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Having my superchip removed tomorrow, what a load of sh!t, better fuel consumption but not a great deal of gains. Dont rate them at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petrified Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Having my superchip removed tomorrow, what a load of sh!t, better fuel consumption but not a great deal of gains. Dont rate them at all.Why are you removing it? has it made performance worse? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" />the only other reason I can think of is that insurance would be cheaper without.

Dubweiser Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Lumpy idle, cant really notice the difference, think id rather buy a uprated ECU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philplop Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 the only other reason I can think of is that insurance would be cheaper without.having your car re-mapped will not affect your insurance!!!!!If you don't tell them about it it won't, same as any modification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petrified Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 i though revo only did the tdi's? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh:" border="0" alt="huh.gif" />revo do a code for the 1.4 100bhpi checked with a few dealers as theres nothing on the website but stuff listed for the ibiza 1.4 100bhp.they do codes for lots of cars that are not listed on the website.it's also a lot cheaper something like £219 because you're not getting a huge power rise. I guess to stop people complaining that their car isn't any quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Are we talking a remap for your own car, or a code thats been used on a sport at sometime and then used on countless other cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupo_1.0 Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Having my superchip removed tomorrow, what a load of sh!t, better fuel consumption but not a great deal of gains. Dont rate them at all.it does not chage the performance but you are saving fuel. how is that a bad thing then?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 you never really can gain much in performance on small capacity n/a engines through a generic chip, best of getting a full custom remap once youve carried out mods and then go back for it remapping everytime you add an additional performance part on to your engine to make the most of it.

stealthie Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Revo do a code for the sport but it is limited to a few of them, mine could not be done as they could not read my ecu due to it being a '99 / '00. I run Revo on my Mk1 Golf with no problems and have lots of friends who run Revo on various cars with no problems too...I might try an amd map though? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="<_<" border="0" alt="dry.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
