REVO ECU software for 245PP

[mike roberts]

Should have said, I want the map purely to get rid of the annoying auto-upshift.

Anybody with ETKA able to confirm if the box and turbo on the 7.5 PP is the same the R?

I've spoken to a couple of tuners about this REVO remap and I'm totally sold on the power range this map supposedly gives, but none of them have tried it on a real car yet so have no actual rolling road figures/graphs only REVO's publicised figures. Given the milage I do it would be great to find out the answer to the questions above as I don't want to be pushing any limits/boundaries on vital components. If they are the same as the R then it's safe to say they will be able to handle this map with ease.

Nobody seems to be able to confirm or speculate, the tuners all say that without ripping a new PP apart they wouldn't be able to tell. There's a chap on VWROC with ETKA, but he only appears to be interested in using ETKA if he's bragging talking about his car.

Anybody here with ETKA?

I don't reckon it has the R's turbo, but it's certainly looking like it's different to the old GTI engine.

It's an interesting one. The DSG is 99.99% the same unit, but with the Turbo my gut says you're right. Having said that though, some of the tuners I have spoken too think there's a high chance it might be the same Turbo as the R, done for cost-saving and production-speed reasons during/after the WLTP f**k-up. 

If that's the case it would be a winner if its was the same tubby under the hood.

Isn't it an IS20 turbo in the GTi and the R?

[topher]

GTI has the IS20, R/S3/Cupra have the IS38. I think I saw a 245PP booked in for Stage 1 in the diary next week, if it arrives I'll post the dyno graphs.

[mike roberts]

Is that for the 245PP, and is it the same as the MK7 GTI?

[topher]

yep, 245 has the same turbo as the 230ps GTI part number 06K 145 874 L. Different engines though, 245 is more like the R but with slightly different pistons.

[mike roberts]

Cool.

Do you know how they are different?

Are you saying the 245PS is a stronger version of the EA888 Gen 3 with IS20 that's found in the 230PS?
