Revo Remap.....
« on: 03 December 2007, 16:08 »
Hi

Im thinking of having my GTI revo'd. Theres a dealer in Darlington who can do it. Cost is £587 all in.
The remap takes the GTI upto 255bhp which is an icrease of 57bhp (Original GTI is 197BHP).

That to me seems like an aggresive upgrade as Bluefin only takes it upto 237bhp.

Has anyone had a Revo remap?
Any problems or issues?

Also, because the car will be putting out more power, what parts should i upgrade?

Im taking the car in on saturday to get the 5hr trial to see fi i like it or not  :wink:

is that the dealer on the a68?

A number of other users have been replacing the DV with a forge item. Apparently the location can lead to overheating. The Forge replacement is £140 irrc

I agree with Pany. I am having my Ed30 done this week along with the DV at the same time. APR remap though. See below link for some pics and an explanation. :nerd:

For whatever reason Superchips have been conservative with their remap on the GTI, I'm sure they could squeeze more if they wanted to.
IMO the Revo remap is briliant, it gives a massive increase in midrange torque but it does tail off little at high revs. The tailing off is not a fault with the Revo map, its just how the GTI engine is.
If you decide yes after the trial...... actually, when  :wink: you have it remapped after the trial make sure the dealer sets up the fuel, timing and boost properly. Get him to explain it to you.

I agree with Pany & Hurdy on the DV.

I've had my Forge DV delivered today. There are instructions in English in the box.
Now I gotta find somebody to fit it in, as I am not doing it myself.
Thought of maybe going to Sportec, as they definitely speak English, but that will probably be expensive...  :undecided:

Sounds important. Care to elaborate.
Dont want to wreck the engine  :embarassed:

This is one thing that worrys me about the Revo, its seems really aggresive. Thats why im now strating to look into Superchips Bluefin. Also, ive been reading that some people have had they clutches go after revo and problems with fuel, problems with revs etc etc
Nowim getting worried  :embarassed:

Is that DV required if you only put your foot down now and then?
Isnt the DV placed in an ackward location on the GTI and in a different location on the ED30? I think i read somewhere it was...
