: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!

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?

For stage 2 you need full exhaust and CAI....
Revo stage 2 costs £50.... Need to start saving for the full milltek - £670+vat!!!

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?

Might be worth doing some boost and correction factor logging to see if there's a bit more in there to be squeezed out.

What will that involve, Shark? Are you referring to tweaking it as in a custom map?

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/...Guide_V2.3.pdf

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.
