That's doesn't sound right for stage 2+

Did you use 'known good' hardware upgrades and get a custom tune from revo? I've heard stories of peeps getting their local machine shop to make a 'custom' decat downpipe which actually doesn't breath as well as the stock DP and cat!

I don't want to start an argument about one tuner being better than another but have you considered taking yours to R-Tech? I'm no expert on these things but if you've got stage 2+ hardware with a map to take advantage of this but you're getting less torque than my stage 1 on oem exhaust (pre-cat removed) there is something wrong somewhere?

I believe my DSG is running the stock map (Niki at R-Tech did not say he'd tweaked it) so I doubt it's your DSG box limiting the torque??

I'm sure somebody who knows more that me (pretty much everyone on this forum) will have some ideas......?

My revo dealer is meant to be best around, people travel from down south to him. I am based in Scotland or else I wouldn't have hesitated about going r-tech.

I am running a full bcs turbo back powervalve system with 200 cell cat, autotec hpfp internals, revo intake, airtec intercooler ngk iridium plugs, reg g dv, new pcv and always v power or momentum 99!

I'm pretty confident it's not dsg, but the dealer and revo UK are claiming it might be and that's needs mapped first to check

Very strange mate. What figures are you getting?

Here is what R-Tech says you should get from each level of tune:-
Stage 1 custom remap             230-250 hp        290-310 lbft
Stage 1+ custom remap           255-260 hp        335-350 lbft
Stage 2  custom remap            265-275 hp        315-330 lbft
Stage 2+ custom remap           275-290 hp        355-360 lbft
Stage 3  custom remap            330-350 hp        350-370 lbft

Nice results.

Ive got a cat back exhaust and also pre cat delete on mine but otherwise stage 1 as well with OEM air filter.

Really rate R-Tech. They sorted my car out after a very dodgy map by motec performance!

Yeah I know. I know revo is really a generic map with limited adjustments rather than a full custom setup, but 272bhp and 288ftlbs is off the mark if you ask me. Not so much on the bhp side, but the torque side I feel is. This run was done before the intercooler too. It ran 222bhp and 235ftlbs before the map with the hardware in place
