had revo on a K03, it dies terribly at about 4500rpm, and drives more similar to a diesel, massive amount of torque low down

unfortunately i can't find my graph from a RR with revo on (although of course different to the APR chip, but still there will be similarities because of the K03 turbo)

massive heat soak, unless you have an uprated FMIC, but still if you want true power and a cheapish upgrade then stick a K03S on and it can be mapped to about 245bhp, with a few other toys of course...

it does depend on the map, since a more aggressive map will generate more heat quicker and tail off much sooner, thats why an FMIC is important. keep intake temps down, and you see a much stronger and smoother power delivery

heres a quick graph i made of my cars boost pressure on the rollers on sunday

map is revo stage 1

you have to subtract 1000mbar to get the actual figures you'd see on a boost gauge

so you can see it spikes to around 2450 which equals 1.4Bar or about 20-21psi, and then slowly tails off. however it still produces just over 1Bar/14.5psi at 5000rpm. i dont have it but i can tell the importance of a good intercooler is evident here as a previous log a year ago showed a much more abrupt drop off in boost

run was in 4th gear, i've noticed my car produces slightly more boost in 2nd/3rd
