Low down it was sh!t, Like jumping like a rabbit and wouldn't hold boost, Then after like 3.5 / 4k rpm the turbo managed to hold boost again and off u went, As fast as b4, Don't get me wrong ude still leave most cars trailing even with the boost issue car was still quick. Just obviously something badly wrong.

And to be honest your problems sound EXACTLY the same as mine. Ide take a stab in the dark and tell u to get the same parts changed. ill post the mechanic's comments down here when i meet him to fetch it later. I think he said the high torgue levels and seriously high timings from revo helped cause the parts to fail.

Ooh, did you have to pay for the repair yourself jdjd?  :shocked:

I may knock my settings down to the 95 RON map and see how that does (whilst still using 97/98 RON fuel)

Slightly off topic: I get much better performance and fuel consumption when using Total Excellium than BP Utimate. Both 97 RON.

I'm glad to hear you got a response from Revo Kenny. Sounds promising.

I'll let you know how I get on with mine when done. I've been having a little issue with my map but should soon be sorted. Yaay.

Going to drive it like its stolen haha  :laugh:

I have and noticed no improvement over 97 RON fuels. Also, there are no Shell Petrol Stations close to me which makes filling up at these very inconvenient. :smiley:
