Revo stage one boost issues

[jdjd]

My car is due a service, Do u mean to tell me if I take it back my map will be flashed?

Best to ask the dealer if there are any ECU updates planned for your car during the service, on my last there wasn't (about 1 1/2 months ago) but this could have changed.

Not all updates get applied as a matter of course, they may only update it if your reporting an issue.

^^^ Exactly, that makes no sense, the only thing I can think of is with the likes of the Mk5 Revo map with the Boost, Fueling and Timing being configurable via the SPS.

I am guessing thats what they mean also. I think the point he was making is that you dont know anything about the car you are mapping until you have had it on a RR. Both before and after the remap to highlight any issues and adjust the variables.

Despite being Revo dealers the do offer their own custom remaps and say without doubt going to professional outfit with RR and proven track record of modifying cars is by far the best way to get what you ideally want/the best from a remap...  I cant help but agree with them on that front. As everyone wants different things from their car, and every car is different in its own right

Gilly, are you going to get boosted before or after your holiday?

This is turning out a bit like my bumper thread.

You are lucky, you did not start it. Otherwise, I would have had to have stern words with you.

have already been on holiday 

Got back Saturday... although I feel like i am just getting back to normality today

Hope you had a good one.
Now you can get boosted, I hope. It seems to go on and on. Has put me off REVO big time.
I think, when I re-map in March 2011, I'll go for Bluefin, unless convinced otherwise. Just want a little boost and nothing too radical.

well im now booked in for Tuesday!! I cannot wait... you need to find someone local to give it a try first.

I was told that the Revo maps are very good once set up

I've not had the chance to compare Bluefin Vs revo.

But...

I can take my bluefin off whenever I want and restore to the original map.
It has more than enough poke for the front wheels.
It costs around £450.
You can send it back if you can't handle it.

Why the big deal about revo if they are giving so many problems?? How is the map supposedly better?

You may have already guessed - I love my Bluefin.

GolfTi: Bluefin for me next year with new insurance. Roll on the 22nd March 2011.
I am now convinced.

BTW: I'll nickname you Blue Velvet.

[GolfTi]

Why next year??

I changed my insurance when I got the bluefin - it was actually cheaper than I was already paying.




I think you're scared.

_{You've driven a bluefinned GTI so you know the difference. Why the hesitation?}
