Hi, have a few questions if poss.
What gains can I expect on a 2.0 TFSI leon FR? The revo site states 70 bhp but says the initial bhp is 185 not 197bhp.
Also how does it affect mpg on petrol? I hear it improves diesel but nothing about petrol.
And finally what is a D.V.?

dv dump valve.
Ah I see, How much are DV's? are they typically closed loop or do they vent to the environment?
Don’t get a "to atmosphere" Dump Valve whatever you do.
A D.V. Is a diverter valve or compressor bypass valve, also known as a compressor relief valve, it is a vacuum-actuated valve designed to release pressure in the intake system of a turbocharged car when the throttle is lifted or closed. This air pressure is then re-circulated back into the system. But after the mass airflow sensor so the ECU knows it is there and accounts for it. That helps it decide on Fuelling!
Mpg and power differs between cars so get it dyno'd before and after on the same dyno if you want to know the exact gain and use your trip computer to get a rough idea on mpg. Mine on the same route was 3 better after Stage 1 and about the same as standard at Stage 2+ now. This is not scientific however and depends on the route and even what sort of fuel you use and many other factors including the driving style and settings on your software. (you can decide the latter with the switch by the way)
Also to avoid doubt you will find the offer here http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=208429
The price is as I quoted only if you take up this offer. Was £499+Vat but 20% discount (£99.80) so now £399.20+Vat I am sure your dealer will call it £399+Vat.

That's the reason why I asked, would much prefer a closed loop valve.
How much are they to get fitted?
Very tempted by revo, was leaning towards bluefin but the fact there is a revo garage very near to me I might go for it now.
Fitting price will be down to the individual dealer so it is hard to say exactly. Ask your Revo dealer if they will do it for you and see what they say. I was lucky, Revo Kev fitted mine for free, but we stopped short of including his services in the forum offer!
Thanks very much for the information, going to register with Revo today!!
Will see how much they want for fitting the forge dv then decide if i get that now or wait a couple of months!

This revo "switch" what is it? whats it look like and where does it go? im really considering the revo remap + switch + forge DV. Is there a revo guy in wakefield/leeds with a garage/depot or just a mobile guy, if any?
Nice one Adam. You will love it!

erm... id really want the revo guy to do everything, set it up etc, looking at the select plus switch it says i can plug laptop in and mess about with stuff... trust me..i dont want to touch the thing lol. Can you get the revo guys to install remap, install switch, set it all up and all i do is move the dial when im feeling fast?
You can get them to adjust it for you, the switch changes boost and timing it's not like you can alter the software. the setting are there to give you some flexibility on how you want the car set up. I for instance like boost 9 timing 6. although that maybe a little aggressive.
sounds fun lol, so theres no techie stuff involved? they set up some presets and you just move the dial around?
I looke dat tuning uk's website and its just a holding page? :S

Yep thats it. it's worth getting the switch as you can turn it off when it goes in for service etc.

David Cook SEAT, Chadderton, Oldham, Lancashire are REVO dealers!
Wow a SEAT dealership being a REVO dealer also, best of both worlds and no need to turn off the software!!

Is this just a one off or have Seat UK finally seen sense??
So what are the implications of this? SEAT UK will still refuse to authorise any warranty work on a modded car.
