Revo turned my Gti into a jet !!
« on: 03 June 2010, 16:39 »
Well I got the revo treatment today ...... Wowzers now it's quick. I have to say tho immediately after the remap I could hardly tell the difference but after filling up she flew. upon arriving home to after switching off the ignition my car sounded like a Boeing 747 with the fans cooling the engine ? Is this normal ? I assume the engine gets hotter with the new found power therefore the fans need to go into overdrive ?

thats probably down to the warm spell of weather we have been having. Mine does that on the regular anyway. Wait until you have filled her up with some 99ron a couple of times :wink: :grin:

Noticed any lag at any points under hard acceleration yet? Mine still comes up with that bullsh!t occasionally. Im hoping my new apr filter and a new exhaust when i find a suitable one cure it.

You will find adding hardware mods (like the filter and TBE) to the Revo stage 1 will make that hesistation worse between 2-3k worse, they are aware and are working on it  :smiley:

Again how can anybody recommend revo when there product doesn't work right on the MKVI, I would never say anything good about revo to anybody. Customer service from revo directly to me personally was absolutely shocking. They basically said thanks for your £700 now f**koff! "Yes we've heard of the problem but nobody can reproduce it for us so we dont care"
 Does that mean when they find the problem they are going to update the maps on the cars previously done or is that wishful thinking
