All Things Mk5 > Performance Modifications
Start of the slippery slope - is there any difference between Revo & APR?
nc35:
The thing that is drawing me towards APR is the use of the CC stalk and the way the car now pulls from low revs. Thought it was good before :smiley:
The Revo reports and the K03 golf I drove are nothing like this, and from what I understand from Dyno graphs they are more power higher end. But I can't seem to find an APR graph...

Running APR Stage 2 on my Mk5 with Carbonio intake and APR RSC exhaust. It gives a good smooth power delivery, plus it also sounds the mutts nuts! :happy2:

this is why my choice was between shark performance and REVO as id seen graphs for and driven both. couldnt find a k03 GTI APR dynoo graph or review from the UK. only the yanks who were making 400Hp from their stage 1 remaps :grin:

are you manual or DSG box? as REVO may have the edge if you have DSG then you can get a matched software set for only 1 supplier (engine and dsg maps :laugh:)

I can confirm that the DSG map is just amazing. The power is immense, to say that all I have is Stage1 with no other power mods at all. So far, when I have had a chance to put my foot down, It just pulls and pulls and pulls. I waited for the power to drop off, but instead I have either run out of road or bottled it when looked at the speedo.
Touch the pedal lightly, and the car is super smooth :innocent:, but plant your foot down, and hold on to the steering wheel!!! :evilgrin: (again totally smooth)
All I can say is that the Revo I have has totally transformed my car, and now I feel like I am never gonna sell it. It is FAR FAR better than I ever imagined Stage1 would ever be :happy2:
.........I might have been just as blown away with the APR map. I don't know mate. It needs to be amazing if it is Revo's competition. :wink:

the point about having a DSG map is that it removes the OE function that backs the power off as you near the redline :surprised:, so with no other engine changes just fitting a DSG map alone is going to feel like youve gained xx bhp (because you have :signLOL:) at higher rpm.
so stg1 map AND DSG map = a double whammy of power increase (for a DSG car that is) :pomppomp:
