Mine has done something similar at about 70mph in 4th gear i went to accelerate and it just juddered as if i was in too high a gear untill i dipped the clutch and tried again,it is very intermittent and i never get a fault light come up,the dealer could not find anything wrong. Will be interesting to see what your dealer says.

Ha, Funny day for me. Spent best part of £30 going back down to the place, Where he plugs the computer in. Does some laps round his industrial estate. Tells me he carn't get it to recreate the problem and my car is running fine with 0 knocks in the knock bar. And boost and everything looked fine.
 I replied " Well its not going to do it round here at 40mph, It was from 70-90mph"
Basically i got nowhere with it. In fairness to the guy I understand he carn't fix what isn't happening.
 Laughable part started when I rang revo directly as the guy I went to failed to mend anything or find a problem.
Basically he tells me he's heard of the problem before off people. But whenever he's had people over they've failed to get the car to "missfire" or whatever is happening  "Despite people making out it happened everytime" he hasted to add. 
 Basically told me it was my car. I pointed out my car did nothing of the sort beforehand. Response i got was high boost causes a backlog in the exhaust or a shortage of air intake. Or badoil round the turbo. Tried implying I needed it servicing. 
 In short i was told there was no point bringing it down for them to look at unless i was 100% sure i could get the car to do it. So im left with a remaped car that doesn't work as it should and they are not prepared to look into it further without me going and showing them 1st there is a problem!

As said before I would try removing the remap and test further.

Typically REVOlting.
How frustrating for you and such a waste of time and money.
Ask for a partial refund if you can as they are not providing you with reasonable service.
Really shameful. :sad:

I know you did not.
Just thought it might be helpful and supportive by 'pushing the boat out a bit'!
As they say, 'No pain, no gain'! :wink:

Mmm, my experience with Revo and the dealer was much better than that. Ask the revo agent to go on a longer drive with you at the speeds you are experiencing it?

Thanks for coming back down to us, and sorry we couldn't find the fault.  As you said its very intermittent and therefore difficult to diagnose.  Your one concern before leaving was if your car was running safely, and having checked for det, requested v actual boost, and several other parameters we were logging, the answer was indeed 'yes', although obviously didn't manage to get replicate the fault and log it at the time. I suggested I speak with Revo on your behalf and get back to you, although if you've already spoken with them I'm not sure what more I can tell you. 

Couple of other options, firstly to run your car in Revo Stock mode and see if the issue is still present, or put the car on our Dyno Dynamics rolling road and run at 90 /100/110 mph - happy to do either if you want to.
