Which remap for my Leon Cupra R

[Mark300zx]

I have been on other forums and it seems that there is little discussion of the pros and cons of different maps, if anyone can recommend a particular company please let me know?

Revo is probably the best ones around. Lots of places can provide them. Bigboystoys were doing them I think. If you have a DBW throttle you can have a trial map which expires after a few hours.

Give MRC tuning a ring in Banbury.

Probably the only people I'd trust with a VAG car when it comes to re-maps.

ask on searcupra.net

it depends on:

1. who is local
2. what you want to pay
3. what kind of map you want

Take it somewhere that will do a full diagnostic check before they even think about tuning it. Then before & after runs on a decent set of rollers.

Don't pay good money to a "bloke with a laptop" type outfit.

I've got a AMD remap on my LCR and i love it, with just a remap i got 260BHP and 290BHP! This was proven with a before and after rolling roads.

It has plenty of mid range punch and will pull all the way to the redline. It cost me £400 with before and after rolling road. if your local i'll be happy to take you for a spin, im in colchester!

There are others which you should definitely consider:

Revo - Very punchy down low, runs out of puff at the top end. Option to add adjustment feature at an extra cost.
AMD - More progressive than the Revo, more up top zing. Same power output as revo, just different delivery.
Custom code - Very smooth, more so than the AMD. More power, not as much torque.
Jabba sport - not sure on delivery, but heard good things

There are a few more, but these are the main ones.

Who ever you chose make sure its a respectable, well known company. Lots of companies claim silly gain but they never meet the gains once they're put on the rollers.

Make your mind up, one or the other...

I ran an LCR for three years when they first came out and the REVO code was actually developed on my car . Seem to remember the figures on Stealth Performances RR was 272hp and 285lb/ft. I've still got the printout somewhere. Never had an issue with the car in that time, 3 years and 35k of having the living daylights thrashed out of it, pretty good if you ask me for something approaching a cruise missile. Still miss the old girl...
