Revo remap report (p.3): the Frog has done it!

[matchboy]

Genuinly excited for you and can't wait to hear what it's like as based upon your experience I'm going to get ours done as well.

do you know of a place local to us DL?  i'm seriously considering it.  i was thinking about getting my dealer to do it.  where you getting it done?

What sort of torque are REVO claiming?

Do the Mk5 or Mk6 (probably too early to tell) suffer with the 'weak' dual mass flywheels that plagued many VAG cars when you crank the torque up?

Accepting marketing bullsh!t and dyno lottery, what is a decent remap looking at?
Gains of 40ish BHP and 80+ lb-ft?

Im happy with an increase of 50bhp... which i think is realistic based on the gains from revo. RR are a lottery as we know, but as long as conditions are kept constant its just the gain you want to know. So 260-265 would be spot on.

I haven't asked my dealer but will on Monday. We use Vindis Sawston, you go to Wayside right? Not really local to us but I was going to use Grant Seat in Braintree as they are Revo dealers or VW Racing in Milton Keynes. I'll try Vindis on Monday because if they can do it it will be a lot easier for me to take it there.

I'll bet all the remaps give 40-50 genuine peak BHP and between 80 and 100 lb-ft of peak torque regardless of the marketing bull.

Once you remove the "Oh, we must have started with a good GTI - it made 235+ BHP out of the box" fantasy stuff, you are left with a good honest gain of around 40-50 BHP and 80-100 lb-ft, with varying delivery characteristics depending on the mapper.

Which sounds pretty good to me!

In truth I am too but she is fairly convinced, I overplayed the fact that we may get even better fuel consumption thus cancelling out any costs and she drives like a loon anyway so a bit more power can't hurt

Honestly guys my misses doesn't even know our cars been mapped. It's super smooth and linear and she isn't heavy footed but it is a super smooth and controllable map (if that makes sense).

Is your top speed higher with a remap or do you just get there quicker?
