Title: REVO slash prices
Post by: topher on 07 July 2004, 14:44

If you are new to tuning, you might not know that REVO are one of the most popular companies around for the modern day equivalent of "chipping" your engine. Takes minutes to do, using a port in the dashboard.
REVO have recently cut the cost of several of their products.
Probably most relevant to us lot are the TDi 110bhp engines and pre-2000 (non-dbw) which have had ?100 knocked off.
So down to ?399 +vat from ?499 + vat
see the REVO website (http://www.revotechnik.com/revo/revo/uk/ukrevo.html) for more details.
Bit of a bugger for people who paid full whack recently (aka me and Starry  :-\ )

Chris.

What kind of a BHP increase can you expect to get from a TDi 110, with a REVO upgrade?

Try contacting Revo, I am sure if they have good customer relations then they will refund you any price difference if you have had it done in the last few weeks :undecided:

DBW = Drive by wire and means that your throttle is controlled electronicaly, if you have non drive by wire then you have a cable throttle.  Just look under your bonnet and if you see a cable running across quiet close to the front then you got non DBW.

The DBW have variable valve timing as well and the later ones were fitted with a KO3s turbo

if its a w reg it may be on the changeover... need your engine code really to be sure (3 letters stamped into a tag that sticks out of the left side of the head.. need to remove the engine cover to see it)

just resurrecting this thread as im trying to figure out if my 1.4e is a DBW or cable?

My throttle is near the back of the engine bay, and a wire goes into it which runs along the back of the block. its a year 2000 car (x).

Would this be DBW or Cable?

Thanks!

Ger

Revo can lock out your ECU so only they can get into it. R-Tech are much better than Revo and ALOT cheaper and willing to help with any issue's and even awnser the phone out of hour's!

Peep's own choice i guess but I say R-tech :smiley:
