Revo takes about 2mins. You also have options such as AmD one-click/DMS that can be sent to your door.

| HobNob, I'm from the Durham / Darlo area and both my Octavias are / were Jabba'd. It took me about 3.5'ish hours each way and Jabba will usually need the car for a morning or afternoon session at least for the 1.8T anyway. Dunno whether it's longer for the PD lump. If you don't want to travel then up here the only real alternative is REVO or the One-Click but it's entirely up to you. Custom Map = Jabba, Out of the box Map = REVO et al. |

| Jabba only need a couple of hours with the car at most, but its down to personal choice. For me, it was worth the effort.

| Briskodian | I would really prefer a customer remap, I don't like the idea of just something out of a box
