lenny Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 :clap: Unbeliveable :clap: I took a run up to my local revo dealer yesterday - Tripple 7 in Cookstown to have my car revo'ed. My decision to go with revo was made after several emails and phone calls to Carl at revo headquaters. The fact that the map loaded into the car has three switchable settings for 95,98 and 100+ Ron petrol sold the product to me. Also with the select plus switch I can switch between stock and performance mode, and adjust boost and timing settings :clap: Chatting to Carl he also informed me that Stage 2 and stage 2+ maps will be available - this means my software would be future proof :yes: So what does the car feel like with revo software loaded...... Its much quicker in fact very quick....I didn't dyno it but it seems to have similar power to my R32..... I felt the scirocco standard was a little slow. The revo software is smooth. I expected to feel a huge lump of power from my new software but in fact the new power comes in very smoothly - i'm well chuffed! I now have a car I'm 100% happy with. The drive home allowed me drive on motorway, A and B roads the car remains a pleasure to drive at slower speeds but once you push the loud pedal it really really goes :nod: The sound of the engine has also changed slightly making it sound more agressive.... Have a look at Revo Technik | ECU Remap | Engine Management Software| Audi Porsche Seat Skoda Volkswagen VAG for more details... Well done Revo - you have another happy customer!

Tarmac_Terrorist Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Sounds good lenny Have you done the stage 2 together with other appropriate mods; forge DV / exhaust / induction etc or was that part of the stage 2 anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenny Posted July 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 For stage 2 you need full exhaust and CAI.... Revo stage 2 costs £50.... Need to start saving for the full milltek - £670+vat!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 I can vouch for the Revo map; it's utterly brilliant. Going to upgrade to stage 2 as soon as the finances allow as well. You're right Lenny, the most expensive bit of the hardware is the full turbo back Milltek. Are you planning a fuel pump upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see replacement inners for the fuel pump for £250 + vat - no brainner really!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Might be worth doing some boost and correction factor logging to see if there's a bit more in there to be squeezed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What will that involve, Shark? Are you referring to tweaking it as in a custom map? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark_90 Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Yes with a Revo you have some changeable settings (Boost, Timing and Fuelling). Revo wrote a guide to getting the best out of their map. This is referring to the old SPS device but the fundamentals are the same http://www.revotechnik.com/products/pdf/SPS3_advancedUserGuide_V2.3.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Ah right. I was aware of the SPS, but maybe thought that the map could be tweaked more so by Revo somehow according to what hardware mods the car has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revo have stage 2 and stage 2+ that takes into account your hardware mods.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyroc Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Deffo a fuel pump upgrade... I see replacement inners for the fuel pump for £250 + vat - no brainner really!!!! Apparently, the Tsi fuel pump does not require upgrade until you are looking to upgrade further than 380bhp.. I'm in line for an APR stage 3 upgrade, which now does not come with a fuel pump where as the stage 3 kit for the mk5 GTI did, so I wouldn't bother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decked Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 What turbo does the Rocco have then, a K03 or K04? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I believe it's the larger K04. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoSheds Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I'm guessing its the KO3 on the standard engine with the KO4 on the R ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyroc Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Yes its a K03, you need to step upto a K04 to achieve anything over 280 bhp though. Like I said though, there is no need for a fuel pump nor injector upgrades unless you intend to push for over circa 380bhp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 So what power is the map supposed to give to the 210? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 We quote 250bhp and have had independent RR results at 263bhp on a customer's stage 1 car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
