I'm sure this may well have been addressed previously but nevertheless, four questions:

1: At what stage mileage wise is the optimum for a remap?

2: Does my 2010 FL petrol have anti remap software as suggested in other posts?

3: If so does this present me with additional challenges during the remap?

4: Based in Glasgow area, should I travel for a Shark/ Revo/ Jabba or try the local suppliers?

Sorry if this has been done to death....

C'mon guys! Help this chap out!

1: There isn't an optimum, I'm planning to drive my new one straight out the dealers and into Awesome GTi for a Revo remap.

2: The ECU on the TSI is encryted but most tuners now offer remaps, it just takes time when the engines first come out.

3: No.

4: There are numerous REVO agents around and their remaps are highly rated and would be my choice but Shark is well regarded too so you need to do your research. I would make your decision based on which you think is the best remap to suit your needs and not necessarily where you have to go to get it.

I am sure others with have opinions too....

2: The ECU on the TSI is encrypted

Is it? I'm yet to see a 2.0TSI Octavia with a protected ECU.

Which means our STS is compatible and Rob Hardle doesn't have to travel any further than the end of his driveway if he'd like one of our maps

Was told this by both Awesome GTi a while back and another Revo agent.

The following topic suggests that they are too or am I missing something?

That type of ECU has the potential to be protected, however I'm yet to see an Octavia VRS 2.0T (including brand new 2011 cars) that are actually protected

Rob: I have a 2010 TSI Vrs with a shark stage 1 map. Buy the STS (self tuning system) and you can do it all remotely via email.

I've been very satisfied with my map, and the turnaround was only about 8 hrs!

100% recommend shark. Check out if they are offering any specials over christmas..
