Devastating performance!  This isn't the VW Racingline though is it? Their logo is different...?

Big claims and hi-res screenshots are all fine but as with every BT option, I'd like to see a couple of cars running them for a while and get an idea of their performance and reliability and of-course price before actually deciding to opt for that instead of other products that have been on the market for a while already.

I have Revo stage 2 where the power band is in the upper reaches. I was wondering if this set-up
would lower the useable power further down the rev range, as the software seems to be a plug in as in abt. I need to see a power graph.

Why would a bigger turbo bring the useable power lower in the rev range?  I'd wish for something as close to stage 2 as possible but in reality expect it to come later than that as with all such applications. It's the top-end where most gains are to be found anyway.

I'd say quite the opposite actually. If you compare the bigger R turbo to the GTI's one, it moves the power delivery further up the rev range.

You need a smaller faster spooling turbo for low end, then a bigger one for high end.... hence bi-turbo that you see on a lot of non-VAG cars...
