Revo Map now out for 170 - who's getting it?

[BanziBarn]

Is anyone on here planning on getting this? If I get a map this will be the one I go for becuase of the switchability and the well known name.

I'm looking forward to seeing what people think of it, and probably more importantly if DPF causes issues.

Anyone know if it's possible to buy Revo and have it posted out to be installed by myself via switching unit? I'm sure I read this somewhere before but can't remember the details. I live on an island and it would save me a lot of expense if I didn't have to travel!!

its just a file effectively, it can be put on a dongle then installed by yourself with the right software... but you would need to get on a dyno to see the real power

No it can't be done without being uploaded to your car using a dealer programmer!

Standard Revo
bhp 191 214
Torque 289 325

Surely 191 Standard is a bit ambitious?

 

[Lewis_FR]

OK when i typed that it was better laid out...

if you have the software and cable then yes you can just upload it .....

But unless you are an authorised Revo dealer then you can't get a Revo programer so as an end user/customer you have to visit (or have them visit you) an authorised Revo dealer!

Lewis_FR - 191 was what we saw on the dyno, if we quoted our performance figure without quoting the stock one then everyone would expect a 44bhp increase! Our Passat and Altea have seen from 174bhp to 203bhp stock. The figures (as above) were from the same car/dyno/day so show a comparative increase!
Peak figures are pub BS though, in reality the midrange is where you benefit from the increase and the smoothness/midrange and drivibility aren't shown by peak figures!

Hope that makes sense

True..

I'll definately be looking into a remap, but i'll be waiting a while to see if anyone has issues with the Revo Map in relation to the DPF. So can people please keep this thread updated if they go for this remap!
