You need to lower your phone down the back of the air intake pipe and take a shot looking to the left towards the turbo, it'll take a few goes lol

Yes you could say don't modify your car then but since when can't a VW handle a stage 1.

Who says that it can't.

And even if it can't why should it... it wasn't designed to...

You're right Sootchucker. But over on the other forum one guys turbo failed (Q revision) I believe & he had APR Stage 1 installed. He reverted to stock map when he went back to the dealer but they denied a mechanical fault & blamed the APR software which resulted in him being billed for a new turbo.

It's just irritating when the August sale is on for Revo software but if the turbos are weak they'll probably pop and then were out of pocket.

Yes you could say don't modify your car then but since when can't a VW handle a stage 1.

Have you a link to this please?

In case guys are wondering what turbo they might have, my car is BW50 2013 and I have revision Q so cars older than that definitely have the suspect turbo.

This will stop me getting a remap until there is more information on it.

It's in the link in the original post. A couple of pages in. :)

All gone.

I have the 702K Turbo, and was considering a stage 1 Revo map (even though my mods would benefit more from a stage 2) because of the discount offer. I now think it would be more circumspect to wait. But how long I don't know :sad:
