Chipping the 150 BHP 1.8T - anyone done it ?

[starry]

just a short 1. revo was the only reason i kept my golf 20v turbo. I brought it and the next day i was going to sell it becouse it was so slow. the revo remap sorted it and now i cant get out of the thing.

starry, what mapping set did you get from Revo?

Did you also get the plug which lets you select different settings, so that you can put it back to standard for when it goes in for a service?

Do Revo come out to you for fitting or do you have to go down to them?

[Starry]

i just had the remap and nothing else i didnt see the point in having 1 which would return to standard for a service because they cant tell any way. it is meant to be about 212bhp from a 150bhp engine but im putting it on the rollers in a couple of weeks and will let you no what happens, but it's a hell of a lot faster for sure

Would be interesting what bhp it comes back with as then i'd probably be able to tell what my 180bhp golf would go up to if i had it revo'd.

Just got to save up for it now i've spent all my dosh on the car!

Thinking about the REVO option .  I have a stock 2000 1.8T GTi 150BHP.  Just wondering if you need to change anything else?  Such as brakes, exhaust, tyres

I don't suppose you HAVE to change any of those really, unless you really want to upgrade them and can afford them.

I don't think chipping the ECU will turn it into an subaru imprezza, so wont need huge mods to the breaks and exhaust.

Thats just my opinion though, smoebody else should contribute who has upgraded some other bits.
