Cheers for that.

So the car would need to be data logged with VAGCOM.
Out of curiosity, what settings are the norm on the revo? Is it 9,8,8 or something?

1. They'll ask what octane fuel you're using and how you drive the car to help determine the settings.
For my car, good basic settings without data logging would have been 9,5,5. The Revo dealer set it to 0,8,7 :huh:

2. IMO the Revo is not jerky at all. Yes, there is a surge of power when the turbo kicks, is this what some are saying as on/off?? Also power delivery can be altered to a certain degree by the settings.

3. Try them both before you buy...

1. I generally use RON 98 and V-Power

2. When you say a surge in power when the power kicks in, is that different from the standard vw map? on the standard gti the torque kicks in around 2000 revs and you can really feel it. Is it the same on revo or does it kick in at much higher revs? I dont really like the power kicking on at higher revs like the civics, i like it the way it as at the moment with power kicking in at lower revs.

3. Dont think Custom Code do a trial  :sad:

2, Its similar to the standard gti, just lots more of it, especialy in the midrange and nothing like a ctr. From what you said earlier this should suit your driving style.

3, Oh well, stick to Revo  :wink:

....I can only report that my Revo Stage1 has been individually installed and tested by the agent, including rolling road and laptop VAG-Com etc and is very smooth - Just like the stock GTI but more power throughout. Use the gears to exploit the most power instead of just high revs.

Any other performance mods a car has will make a difference. :cool:

Performance tuner does a write up that explains a bit more about the process for a REVO tune, and the variables that can be altered. Might be of interest

....I've absolutely no idea! I only know how she feels to drive and how that feel is in comparison to stock.  :smiley:

How are you guys finding the power curve on your correctly set up GTI's with Revo, I'm looking for a map for the TFSI in my Leon, but I want as much as possible a linear power delivery until as close as possible to the red line, what turns me off is the tailing off of power at 5.5k revs that I keep hearing about. What about bluefin and APR how do these fare with the power delivery in that sense??

To me a lot of torque mid range will just remind me of a TDI whereas personally I like to enjoy a bit of both worlds enjoying the torque and also getting a bigger rush from 4.5k - 6.5k revs once or twice a week. With a TDI (and perphaps the revo from what I read) you get nothing much extra the once or twice a week you really want to push it.
