ABT MK6 GTi in VW Showroom

[keelaw]

Agreed.  I love the way Revo have a table showing gains from 200 to 275.

Their 275 was based on a car with stock 235, so a 17% gain.  Applying 17% to the stock quoted figure of 207 gives 242 bhp.

Still a decent increase, but a few more mods required to get to Golf R levels.

Really!? Very sneaky and misleading on my book. 240 is what I would expect and a million times more belivable / realistic. Still remaps are a must, totally transford my car and increase might not sound a great deal but the diffrence in real world useable power was day and night.

Only problem you MK6 boys have is voiding your warrenty, which VW have cotton onto and will charge you an extortionat rate rate for a VWR remap. Mind you you do get a nic exhaust and an induction kit which I rekon not many MK6 will have. £1500 in one wack is a lot of money in anyones book though

Well the Revo mule car they tested was mine which they stated was running 230ish stock (dubious I know).  Anyhoo, whatever is under the bonnet it is extremely rapid.....Revo normally do have a great rep for being on the money though (unlike Superchips).

My mate just had his MKV revo'd yesterday and they state 250 for the MKV, it doesn't feel as quick as mine that's for sure.

Thats what i find so funny with all these companys. People very rare look at the gain rather than the numbers.

You'll never get 250 on a MKV with just a remap, Revo can rant and rave all they want. I ran  250 (torque had a nice gain of 270) with a remap, full turbo back Milltek and carbon induction kit, problem is RRs are so inconstant its extremely hard to get an accurate figure. Anyway, enough b!tching and criticising.

Lets also bare in mind these cars are FWD and there is only so much power you can throw to the front wheels before it becomes unusable / wasted power / dangerous.

gossa, am I correct in saying that your warranty with VW is now void?

Probably if it developed a problem relating to the remap.....

I do have the select plus switch to switch it back to a stock map but I don't intend on taking it into the dealers for any work....

Good work with the switch
