Revo Stage 1
« on: 21 May 2011, 07:28 »
Morning All,

I've had my GTI mk6 for over a month now and would like a little boost in power.  I'm tempted to do the Revo Stage 1 upgrade here in Dubai.  I've done just over 2,500 km so far since new.  Is it ok to proceed at this stage or does the car need more breaking in?

Will the DSG gearbox and other parts of the car cope with the power hike?  Or do you recommend other essential modifications? 

Would love to hear your first hand experience.  Happy with Revo?  The results?

Thanks for your help

Revo stage 1 will be fine with your car. If you have any problems with your car/engine it will not be because of the Revo software but because of a failing part. Guys are running stage 3 on their TSI without problems ( of course they had to upgrade certain parts i.e intake, exhaust, intercooler etc). 2500 is plenty miles on the car so go and enjoy the extra :cool: horses!!!

Do it!
It will turn a Golf into a proper GTI.

Just make sure you keep the air filter nice and clean in your luxurious hot and dry dusty weather.  :smiley:  Not that I'm jealous or anything.....

Thanks Chaps, appreciate your comments.

It was 47 C on Friday.  Too bloody hot!  It's lovely here from October to early April, but summers are hell.

With stage 2 you'd definately need an uprated intercooler in the heat out there.

Yer I was just thinking a fooking huuge intercooler may be your best bet for performance upgrades, it would give you a little more lag but would make up for it when it kicked in. Living in Dubai im sure you are not short of cash either, you could look into water based intercoolers. Ideal for 50deg heat  :laugh:

OP, don't listen to them as they are all quite stunningly insane. :shocked:
It will be interesting to see how trouble free and driver centric your REVO turns out to be. Hopefully, it won't be another case of Tomato Power. :evil:
