Just nipping back on topic to discuss Revo.

Today my friend took his stage 2 Cupra k1 on the Rolling road. Was quoted 330bhp by Revo for his mods:

Stage 2 Revo,
BSH CAI
Upgraded Downpipe and Decat
Racing Catch Can
Uprated Injectors
Uprated DV

Only made 285 bhp at the engine today.

He was also telling me that when stage 1 his car made more torque than stock but less hp. So he is not best pleased with Revo.

I remember a mates Mk4 Anniversary TDI with REVO St2, (plus exhaust, de-cat, inlet etc on top of the bigger turbo and I/C) make 1 BHP and 10 lb-ft more than my Fabia vRS which was standard bar a 2nd hand Tuning Box.
His was a 150 to start with...whereas the Fabia was a 130.
Odd..
He wasn't best pleased either.

Reducing my Golf count by the week....
..but gaining motorcycles.

As I am sure many are aware, I am running the std map at the moment and the car is dull, boring, and has no grunt what so ever. Whats worse than out right speed is always having to drive in a lower gear than normal to have the power available! :undecided:

... and just a note to all those of you who are sensible.. my mpg has been reduced by quite a bit since going back to std  :tongue: :laugh:

Probably, South African accent. Got his fuel pump at Star performance on thursday I think. We then went back to the rolling road on thursday with his car loaded with V-Power and the uprated fuel pump and he only made 1 hp more.

Unfortunately he is not happy.
