Looking forward to reading your report on the REVO gossa. Should really wake up the mid range power using the 98RON setting. A lot of people so far have commented on how quiet the engine is as standard, I've found in the past when I've re-mapped cars that it does make them a bit more growly (especially the Diesels) so be good to find out if the REVO makes it sound a bit more GTI like whilst still using the standard exhaust.
The increase looks about right in BHP terms but a bit surprised at the stock power, you must have run it in well!!!
In the two road tests of mk6s I've read so far, performance wise the new engine seems very strong so may well be a fair bit higher than the 210PS VW rate it as. Wonder if it's got a few tricks up its sleeve (?) being as it's based on the ED30 engine sans K04.
