Stage 1 - Requirements
RedRobin:
.
I'm running Revo on a K03 GTI, now Stage2, and am very happy and was very happy with Stage1.
However, my understanding is that the remap is written for a performance exhaust such as Milltek and an aftermarket intake. I think the exhaust is the more important component to unleash the power of the remap.
As stealth wisely advises: Use V-Power exclusively - Again it's what the remap is written for.

Thanks all for the accurate feedback :happy2:
I only ever use Tesco Momentum (99) TBH. I stopped using V-Power when I realised you have to spent a fortune before you start reaping reward points which annoyed me.

If you buy the SPS handset on top of this you can switch the powr outputs from performqance back to standard. this isnt the standard map, but the revo map settings wound back sufficiently to produce standard output on the engine.
My personal recomendation is to give shark performance a try. with their STS handset you can fully remove the performance map and revert back to the genuine stock map when ever you want. Also the handset can read and clear fault codes on the ECU. He has a V.good rep on briskoda, almost like REVO are on here. for what its worth, with bluefin my car peaked 241hp/249lbft. with shark performance it made 240Hp for around 1k and hit 270lbft.

I wasn't aware of Shark Sy, that's interesting stuff. Thanks.
While Revo Stg1 seems to tick most of my boxes, the Shark option probably ticks them all if I can truly revert back to standard and remove user data, if I've understood that correctly with the STS handset?
That's an extra chunk of torque there. I suppose every car will be different, but that in itself is appealing as a package.

my review of the swap is herehttp://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,9088.0.html
lots of reviews on his work on briskoda plus explanations on the STS handset, you'll just have to sift through the pages as the 12 days of Xmas offers they were doing has clogged up the first page http://briskoda.net/forums/forum/154-shark-performance/?s=b2be06014197036c29ae00df0e1d06a3

I'll be getting my bluefin handset reset next week. So it could be a cheaper alternative for you.
I'll be selling it for around £280 delivered?Just an idea for you :stupid:

Just gave your review a thorough read Sy :drinking:
I also skimmed through a few of the Bri threads from various users who'd just touched on Shark Stg1. Yet again, very positive feedback and reassuring reading.

I'm a little way off this yet, i.e. a few months probably. I've not yet thought about the insurance aspect either yet, so thanks anyway :happy2:
