REVO RE-MAPS = Quality

[S3pallas]

i just had my 2002 s3 remapped i am thinking about relocating the BOV with a FORGE kit BUT ,,,,,,,,, i here people saying forge pipes always pop off whats your views on thees pipes and relocation the BOV to the front of the car so it get more cold air ???

[m33sta]

I guess most people who change to a Forge vlave do so because they are mapping the car, therefore running more boost so, more boost=more chance of it coming off. Having said that it shouldnt do it and to be honest its not something you hear of a lot so wouldnt worry. On the relocation some have said its a good idea others have said not worth the time an effort. Remember its quite tight in that engine bay so would relocating it actualy make a difference?

[davemk]

the kits are expensive aswell £100 just for a few silicone hoses not for me but it does look nice. Not sure on the performance difference however.

Hope that helps in some way

Im seriously considering a revo remap.What does the 1.8t feel like to drive after a remap?I want something that really bites when you put your foot down.How much did you pay is you dont mind me asking?

[shark_90]

Have you considered this? http://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?p=424547#post424547

I love the 1.8T with a remap, I have very fond memories of my Mk4 Golf GTi.

Yeah sounds good,but a little bit more than i was looking to pay.I can just see the Mrs face now :aargh4:

[shark_90]

It's cheaper if you have it done by us but I notice that you're not around the corner.

Mind, I could put you in touch with a guy from Kent who drove up here last week, I'm sure he'll tell you it was well worth it ;)

[T.sport]

Im a bit worried about poping the engine at the moment.Its got F/S/H and no smoke,0.6 Bar instant pressure upon turbo spooling but the engine is on 129K miles so wanna do compression tests first

[shark_90]

Always good to be safe than sorry.

And if you dont fancy the drive up mate, we will come down to you...:beerchug:

[sr-performance]

Hiya mate, to come to you. £300 all in .... :beerchug:

[T.sport]

Hmmm.Duly noted.Must have a chat with the mrs when she gets back from scotland :swordfigh

[T.sport]

Oh yeah.I think my one is an ECU out job,is that inc?

[sr-performance]

Ha, glad you know that mate, would be easier if you could send your ecu to us as it's going to need the chip taking out and a new remapped one fitting...:beerchug:

[T.sport]

Oh crap,im really in the dog house now,just bought another A3 1.8t W reg with 103K F/S/H and SE pack in immaculate condition,still an AGU.This one should handle a remap and will definately be getting one at some point in the not so distant future.Will give you the word when i have the cash :beerchug:

[sr-performance]

Ha Ha you bad boy!!! hope she's not too rough with you....:biglaugh:

[T.sport]

Me too :p.She doesnt get back from Scotland until 10Pm tommorrow.Will put it out the way and tell her in the morning.I can see it now....:aargh4:

[sr-performance]

Your a brave man.. i'd leave it on the drive cos if you dont tell her tomorrow night she will say, so, when was you going to tell me? at xmas?.......good luck mate....

[S3pallas]

tsport it cost me £300 mate and was worth evey penny the car now seams like it just wants to go in every gear you can be doing 50 in 6th put your foot down and its away.. much better low revs power but i find i have a bit more turbo lag pulling away

225 -265 bhp Torque 210 287 thats the diff it made on my car 2002 s3 56,000 miles on her so i might ave to get her a turbo and intercooler for x-mass lol

[shark_90]

AGU shouldn't be a chip out job with the right tools :)

i want go go for a hybrid turbo and a bigger inter cooler might need injectors cos i here the stock 1s are only good for 300bhp i am waiting on a miltek system coming should be here bu Tuesday

[S3pallas]

oh yeah and 1 other good thing about revo you get a switch so you can turn it back to normal if you cannot get vpower fuel other wise you get pinking using that normal cheap **** asda stufff

[S3pallas]

get your hands in your pockets chaps

Im interested in the 5 hour free trial at some point in the near future,but have heard that it reverts back to a revo default setting,not original Audi map.Is this true?

Sort of. In order to provide the 5 hour trial we have to 'map' the ECU. This map then remains on the ECU once the trial has expired - in essence the settings within the map revert to settings which provide stock levels of power, throttle response etc.

We will happily flash the stock OEM map back onto the ECU if required at any point in the future and obviously there is no charge for this.

The OEM ECU does not have the ability to 'carry' two maps and as such this is the only way to provide a try before you buy service.

Hope this clears up any confusion. Anything else just ask :D

Are you mobile or do you have a RR facility? :o

[Tour-De-Force]

Are you mobile or do you have a RR facility? :o

We have a 1200bhp Dyno Dynamics rolling road in a purpose built dyno cell at our facility and a 1000bhp/10,000RPM Hoffman Engine Dyno next door. We also have a full loom build/repair and vehicle electronics test facility.

We are based in Kimbolton, between Cambridge and Northampton on the A14.

Matt

[T.sport]

And what do you charge for RR & stage 1 Revo remap?

[Tour-De-Force]

What year is your A3 T.Sport?

Pre and Post map runs on our chassis dyno along with a full pre-map health check are included free of charge with every Revo remap.

Car is W reg (2000) on an AGU engine.Vag com showing no faults

[shark_90]

Really? :dunno:

Sorry, only just seen your reply.

Yes, they can be reflashed using the correct tools.

I'm sure TDF will confirm but there's no trial for the AGU engine.

Isnt there?Whys that mate? Is it too much of a basic ecu?

[shark_90]

For want of a better way of putting it, yes. The EEPROM can't be manipulated in the same way which is how the trial works.

Unfortunately the 5 hour trial is not available on the AGU Cable throttle engines due to limitations/the architecture of the standard ECU.

However all Revo remaps have a 30 day money back guarantee so whilst you cannot try before you buy you can still ensure you are totally happy with the remap and if not we will revert the car to standard and refund you accordingly.

The 2000MY AGU Engine calibration for the A3 is priced at £299 + VAT. We are currently running a 10% off offer for VWAudi forum members until the 14th of November which would put the price of the remap at £261.10 + VAT

The gains for this calibration are as follows:

Power:

Are you sure they're the right ones Matt? I'm sure the AGU doesn't go that far, plus I was under the impression (from a friend who's a Revo dealer) that due to the aforementioned limitations in the EEPROM, you can't set the map up with the BTF settings as you would on a drive by wire petrol car.

[S3pallas]

Have you ever tried any other remap on your car :confused:
nope not on my car but i know this revo worked for me on my car why should i of tried something else ?? what you got to offer ???

[shark_90]

I'd quite happily do a remap for you if you like, but the reason I made the comment is because so many people have only ever experienced one map before yet rave about it. I have no doubt that it's good compared to standard, and my comments are in no way directed against Revo, I just find it difficult to understand how anyone can give such a strong opinion having only ever tried one vendor.

What software do you use?Is it your own? And i see your stage 1 remap only goes to 185 Bhp rather than 190-195 ish. I am interested in your re-maping but im after making the car have that kick-you-in-the-back feel, which people say the revo map does. What sort of software is yours, progressive or other?

We're not a dealer for any other tuning company but work with other independant tuners from the UK and Europe. We quote a realistic 185bhp because we know it's a repeatable figure time and time again, plus we don't like pushing cars to their absolute limit.

Our style of mapping is generally more progressive than aggressive however it can be tailored to whatever you'd like :beerchug:

Do you have a rolling road? Also, my car is an AGU but has cruise control.Does that mean its DBW or is it still cable?

[shark_90]

We don't have a rolling road here at the moment no. If you definitely have an AGU then you should have a throttle cable on your inlet manifold at the front of the engine - open the bonnet and have a look. Also, non-DBW cars don't have ESP or ASR, DBW cars should have one or the other.

Yeah its definately AGU and has a throttle cable. Will deside who to use when i have the cash in me hands :D

Alot of it will come down to price as alot of you guys on here have a good rep. Let the price war begin :swordfigh:biglaugh:

Ha! Price is not everything remember.. however as you'd be travelling I'm sure I could work something out for you ;)

Just to clairify, if your map custom then, not generic like revo?

[shark_90]

The generic/custom thing is mostly rubbish I'm afraid, plus Revo is (generally) adjustable through the BTF settings, although not on an AGU.

But yes the map can be tailored to whatever you like (within reason!) and the car will be checked out before, during and after by logging data to check that everything's as it should be. It will be checked on the road, not on the rollers, just to be clear.

[S3pallas]

you cannot beat revo its world class in my eyes tried and loved
