260bhp is an optimistic figure at best as well with JUST a remap.

they did say that they would guarentee that figure... and the reason they are so expensive is that they spend lots and lots of money on r&d and are one of the few companies that work with both VW and Audi.

62 extra ponies from a remap and nothing else ! Bloody hell ! :shocked:

I'm not calling them lies, but would love to see someone who's had JUST a Revo remap stick on an independent RR.

I think revo show gains of around 55bhp. So I would say 265 is more realistic.

I'm impressed, this MK6 engine is much savier than I thought (I thought it was just a MK5 engine with a different cover and 10 more bph).

Interesting stuff chaps.

Which i why I is waiting for them to tune this one... rather than just do with the old one what nearly everyone with a MK5 Gti has been. :wink:

aka project ED35 :lipsrsealed:

Actually they are quoting 275.

So with a single remap you can have more power than the new R. Makes you wonder what's the point in the R. All that extra money for 4WD, pfft.

I still think that's a rose tinted view on power gains though.
