« on: 07 February 2008, 15:41 »
The GTI goes in tomorrow for free trial of revo stage 1.(260bhp) .the map lasts 5hrs then goes back to standard,then i will try the giac remap (250).After trying the two maps i will decide which one is best for me,also the guy doing the revo map says there's no need to change the D.V. what do you think on this. :smiley:

4 1/2 hours labour plus £156 for d.v. = £270 approx is it worth it.

I haven't changed mine (was strongly considering it at one point), and have had no problems with the stock valve (ED30 running Bluefin for 7k). If it does go I believe they are cheap to replace anyway. Not sure it is worth it IMO. Can't see much benefit if its just a 'precaution'. Just my opinion though!
