revo tune??

[tippah1]

Has anyone here got the revo tune yet??
I had stage 2 on my mk5 with dump pipe single cat and it was awesome. Never gave me any problems.
Im getting a mk6 in april so i will be getting it tuned also.
Im after a few reviews of the product for the TSI

How hard is it to adjust the tune with SPS+?

I'm considering getting the revo since I won't be able to take advantage of APR's sale this month.. Going to wait until I have enough to pay the lease saved up and then some before I mod.

not very, here's the tuning guide to give you some more info

as you do more mods the ability to fine tune makes a big difference.

except that revo has not released any North American software for the 2010's because they are super gay

Giac has a deal right now that's $550 with stock and 91 tune plus the flashloader (+install). Not quite as good as APR's fully loaded deal, but 91 and stock are the only two modes I'd really be using anyway... and my shop is a GIAC shop. Might have to swing by and see how they're liking the tune on their in-house mk6 first...

Hi,
I have had the revo stage 1 software for about 4 months now! It is awesome. I have phoned revo today and the stage 2 remap for golf gti mk6 is coming out in 2 weeks.
I can't wait!

 

[Beeb]

so revo is going to be availible in north america?

or are they still shunning us?

don't they realize how many GTi's there are here?

and its the people who get the tunes first that tell everyone about it and increases buisness?

 

[mikochu]

I was thinking about getting the GIAC setup this month to get that deal... I hear bad things about APR...and Revo, well their 2010 GTI flash seem to be non-existent in the US

 

[Jekyll991]

Hrm, if revo doesn't release to the US I may have to go with a unitronic because I like the idea of doing a little self-tuning since no 2 cars will run the same with the same tune. I'd prefer revo for the simplicity + ability to adjust boost though.

I just got Bluefin today and OMG !!! i will leave it at that.

I literally drive around a euro golf kart now. Just WOW !!!

not even kidding

+49bhp
+90 nm tq

just wow..

By the way, it's important when comparing different tunes to note what their base numbers are, and whether they're comparing bhp or chp. Also note that "rolling road' dynos (as most everybody uses) aren't terribly accurate, at least from an engineering perspective - hub dynos or (even better, but not very feasible) engine dynos are much more reliable, repeatable, and accurate. If rolling roads were accurate, there shouldn't be a difference between dynos from the same company (which there are, if minor) or different companies (which there are significant differences between).

So, the best solution is to figure out power gains based on before/after (ideally on same day/same dyno/same car) in terms of percent - not just absolute gains. +49bhp sounds great, but if the "base" number was already 230 instead of another tuning company's 180hp, their +45bhp is actually more gain - by almost 4%!.

Gotta love marketing, huh?

Apparently it's impossible. I read on another forum Revo TSI software is NON adjustable. Therefor the SPS+ will not work. IE you cant adjust individual AFR/Boost/Timing settings.

This is not a dig on revo, I'm just hoping to set the record straight.
