changed my revo settings on sps3

[owen lcr]

arite folks, i was playing about with my sps3 today to see if i could get the car to it best, i put the settings to HB 6 and T 7 on optimax, it was goin ok but now it has just started to feel funny at the top end of every gear, i get to about 5000rpm in every gear and it feels like it is being dragged bag for a while then it goes for a few hundred revs and does the same again.. so i just went out there to have a play about with the revo again but is still doing it... so what have i broken now

cheers folks

same as mines doin mate...ive not got a revo but it does this weird hesitation late on in the rev range its ok in 1st &2nd its so bad in 6 it wont go past 125mph(on a private road!)
been told it could be my dv as it is a std and its been on for 46k!
doubt its the revo tho.you got any lights on the dash??

HB6 T7 is a bit extreme, I'd have thought (particularly at this time of year when the temps are higher).

If you knock it back to LB9 T6/7 or switch back to stock, is it still showing the same symptoms?

Either way, without checking for codes and running some logs in VAG-Com, you're changing settings in the dark. There's a guide on here somewhere for using the SPS3 with VAG-Com for the best results.

Agreed, you really are just shooting blindly in the dark if you don't use Vag-Com logs to determine the best boost/timing settings.

aw right, it is revo stage 2 so i thought i would knock it down a bit but it has made it worse... i am in the process of getting vagcom so that will help hopefully. in the mean time i will put it to LB9 and T7
cheers lads (there are no lights on the dash)

Lower the settings and do a TB reset. Key to first position and leave it for 3-4 mins, when the engine is cold.

settings are quite agressive
you state you have revo stage 2. what mods have you got on the car?

(bear in mind that revo stage two holds boost higher up the rev range so the same setting on stage 2 as used on stage 1 is more boost in real terms).

i would lower the settings, say low boost 9 timing 5/6 and then reset the ecu and complete throttle body alignment.

to do this:
1 check you have the pin number for the radio
2 take the negative off the battery for a few mins, (10mm spanner).
3 reconnect negative lead
4 turn on ignigtion BUT do not start car.
5 leave ignition on for a few mins (or until the hight pitched wine under the bonnet stops). This is the trottle body alignment sequence.
6 enter PIN in radio if required, (or do this when waiting for thottle body alignement).

NOTE: complete the above on a COLD engine.

then try car again.
