Remapping in the North East..... Where to go?

[JamieFabia6Y]

Hi guys, 

 

I'm looking at getting my fabia vrs remapped but where would people suggest?

I know of a few that I have already contacted such as, Big Fish Tuning, Turbopacs, NorthEast remaps and The Performance centre (REVO)

 

But I'd like to get other peoples reviews of them before going ahead with the remap!

 

Many thanks,

Jamie.

Big Fish, nuff said. John knows more about mapping cars than most people.

Big Fish Tuning in Stokesley or The Performance Centre in Sunderland. Only 2 in the north east that are good.

I'm in Newcastle so closer the better really, but if I have to travel that bit further for the best service then I shall...

[gazpot0111645]

I have used both and In my eyes both as good as each other. What are you wanting to get done?

I'll be needing a custom remap on the dyno due to having a pd150 turbo fitted on my car on Friday.

Along with a list of different mods!

John at big fish I'm there on Friday can't wait lol

There's very little in the way of adjustability with revo software so it perhaps wouldn't get the best out of your car, just my 2 cents.

Is that for a custom remap? What car have you got going in?

I've heard of this before... More basic maps?

All big fish maps are custom. There are no "off the shelf" maps.

It's a product. Their maps are good but they don't cater for custom requirements unless they are part of dedicated packages, with that there is no option to adjust the settings unless it's on very specific platforms.

Yeah all johns are custom I've got a Octavia vrs petrol

[gazpot0111645]

The performance centre do custom maps also. Isnt big fish tuning an APR dealer? So surely he also does off the shelf APR maps? My octavia was done at the performance centre. Full custom map running 262.4bhp and 300ftlb of torque.

Quote from Big Fish website. "We do not use generic or off-the-shelf maps, the map in your car will be unique and customised to your own car and (if they are fitted) the supporting modifications."

In my own opinion, every car should be custom mapped. I personally don't believe in generic maps.

The problem with that is probably more than 90% of "tuners" do nothing but flash off the shelf files yet swear blind that everything they offer is "custom".

There is 'MB Motorsport' in Hebburn who do (or did) Jabbasport remaps which might be closer for you. Jabba are a respected place and site sponsor on here.

How long did it take them to do the remap?

Finally bit the bullet and have booked mine in at Big Fish on 7th June!

Can't wait!!!

Mine took 2 hours ish mate mines back in on the 2ND for a tweek. Yeah youl be happy with it mines like a new car. Top lads up there

What about getting a Bluefin remap from Superchips.co.uk. Their performance curves are pretty identical to most maps, plus you install it yourself and you can revert it back to standard at the flick of a switch.

Had them on a few of my cars and they've always done the business.

[Rustynuts]

Generic maps for twice the price of a custom map? Not really worth it for me.
