Chip tuning for my VW - Any experiences?

[steven2408]

I am looking to get a chiptune for my facelift Scirocco R and came accross this:

http://www.racechip.com/chiptuning/volkswagen/scir...

Price and guarantees involved are convincing me to go ahead with the purchase. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with chip tuning or this website in particular? Also if there is any other problems that may occur with chipping a vehicle that has 2000 miles on it? Cheers.

Looks suspect to me, a third of the price of Superchips and twice the power upgrade?

I'm intrigued by it. I have a DTUK chip which are highly recommended on the VW Forums but this one having a 2 year engine warranty for turbo and transmission is very interesting.

I also like that the 'output' can be controlled via your smartphone.

Did you go for it OP?

Revo is the only way to go

Nothing since Jan 2016, so it probably blew up

As above, if I were to choose an off-the-shelf tune, it would be Revo. They've been in the game a long time and a very recognized and trusted brand.

Probably nothing wrong with RaceChip and their 'ultimate' tune makes good numbers, but a bit less than custom tunes. Although that is a good thing because some custom tuners push the turbo too hard to make crowd pleasing numbers.

What puts me off is they seem to tune everything, even Ssangyongs ffs, so could mean they're just punting out a copy of someone else's software, but they're certainly not VAG specialists. Revo are.

I won't be bothering either way I don't think yet. Only just got it, need to give myself chance to bed in

Revo or rtech.

Ran APR on several of my cars now, My current car was the REVO development car but I switched back to APR soon after.
