Revo Stage1

[DubaiGTI]

Hello everyone,

Would be keen to hear your thoughts on the Revo Stage1 software upgrade for the Mk6 GTI (DSG).  The stats look impressive.  Anyone with first hand experience?  Is it worth it?  Does the front wheel drive configuration and DSG box handle the extra power well?  I want to keep the car stock apart from the power hike.  Presume the Stage1 upgrade voids the warranty?

Thanks for your advice

Revo Technik releases Stage1 performance software for the VW MKVI Golf GTi. With no need for any hardware modifications Stage1 raises peak power from a stock 200bhp to 282bhp and peak torque from 207 lbft to 317 lbft.

“…. a strong gain in BHP and a real boost in torque, that's really what you feel when you press the throttle. The delivery is so smooth and progressive, you go very fast very quickly. The best news is the noise, it's a lot spicier than it was, it's got that growl that it should have had from the factory, in fact in my view this is the real GTI as VW should have made it.”

  you will be lucky to get them figures just from a stage 1 map
More like 245-255

Yeah I read quite a bit about 275bhp from stock but when you read the write up the stock car had more than 210bhp to start with.

Also from what i hear & read is that 250 is what you'd want as it's more useable and torque steer, wheelspin etc is minimised!

I'm not sure where he is getting those figures from as Revo don't claim those.  They claim "+35-45 bhp gain +80-90 lbft torque gain"

Much more realistic

I was discussing re-mapping with my Insurance Company (Admiral) on Friday.
For up to 10% increase in bhp, they charge approx £13 extra per the year above the base cost.
For a 20-25%% increase in bhp, they charge approx £70 extra per year above the base cost.

The nice lady also increased my NCD by an extra year whilst I chatted her up.

You're no spring chicken either my dear.
I think our premiums would be the same. Once past that age  , you're in clover with the Insurance Companies.
