Revo Stage 1 - worth it?

[DaveT]

Recently bought a mint golf 1.8t 150 bhp with 74000 miles in completely standard form. The torque is pretty impressive low down but could do with a bit more mid/high range I feel. Is this something that a stage 1 map from revo would sort out?

Thanks for your thoughts.

a decent map will make it feel a lot better but take it to r-tech dont use revo

This, especially considering your location. R-tech shouldn't be too far from you, it will completely transform the car!

Yep I've heard many good things about R-Tech actually. Just thinking will 195bhp be pushing it a bit in terms of reliability? Or are the standard internals up for it?

195 will prob be the max your turbo will push as you should have a k03  an standard internals will be ok

Standard internals are good for close to 300bhp. As Barry says the turbo will probably max out at about 190bhp, mine was mapped 2 years (20k miles) ago and I've had no real issues at all.

Ok I'll give it some thought - cheers for the replies.

i have a revo dealer less than 500yards from me but still used r-tech to map mine enjoyed the drive back though
