I have a revo remap, makes me do the sexwee thankyouplease. Might go for the phase2 revo that's just been released to make the most of my exhaust :cool:

my 150bhp 1.8T made 208bhp with revo and milltek exhaust on the old turbo. i have the before/after charts around somewhere.
basically it was 156bhp stock, 167bhp with exhaust, 208bhp and 245lbft with exhaust and remap.

im looking at keeping the overall look standard not fancy exhausts, etc but i like the street sleeper option, 200bhp in a normal looking car

I doubt a K03 will flow enough air at high rpms to make over 200bhp, it just runs out of puff way too soon.
Have you considered a K03sport turbo?

Post by: topher on 03 June 2005, 18:25
yeah had a k03s fitted last year. all the dyno results (on my old k03) are from stealth, as we all know you cant put too much faith in the 208bhp it showed, or on any rollers really.. but either way it was a 52 bhp increase from when it went in, and made me happy in the pants :cool:

I bet it made you happy  :smiley:

Have you had your K03s mapped?
If so did you notice a big difference going from the K03?

two seperate trips to jabba with no result for the mapping. first time mike couldnt get a stock map for my car (it had revo on at the time) second trip after i had the ecu reflashed to stock.. they couldnt solve an overboost problem, it runs fine though on revo and i only had the k03s because my old one died.

i may go see james for customcode but tbh all my money/attention goes on the rallye these days, the mk4 gets me to work and back.

Revo is definitely nice. You will have a different car once it's done.

I wish I hadn't waited so long to get mine  :laugh:

had it fitted this morning, its incredible, set up for super unleaded as well, just gotta find the money to run the bloody thing now
Title: Re: whos got a revo chip
Post by: GazB on 10 June 2005, 17:11
Shell optimax is the fuel you need to use with it, 98ron, higher octane than super unleaded.
Revo is designed for 95ron(Unleaded) or 98ron(optimax)
