£199 for 310bhp, must be good :rolleye:

As for customer care from Revo, the moment I saw this thread, I rang a revo technician on his mobile out of hours (around 7pm on a saturday night) and they spent 15-20 mins talking through the scenario and possible solutions, cant ask more than that can you?
And as yet nobody knows if its a software fault, it could be anything such as faulty lambda, faulty pcv, boist leak, vac leak, dodgy cat, contaminants in combustion i.e burning oil, breather problem.........

The thing with this is he was running stage 2+ bluefin with no issues at all. he swaps to REVO stage 2+ who release an additonal 50Hp/50lbft across the entire rev rangewith no hardware changes and within 15minutes gets a fault code
Pushing it to far maybe???
He then goes to switch it back to stock, the software tells him its stock, he logs the car but its blatantly not, as its requesting more boost. It does smell a little of software issues.

this is alot of the reasons why im slightly reluctant to go REVO for my 1.4TSI. They always make mor power than the competition, but maybe theres a reason the competition dont push it so much. im going to wait until the first service before iconsider it again. i want to see if gear boxes start disintegrating with the torque increases
PDT:
Just so that people are aware there are 2 versions of stock mode.
1. Sps switch stock, just lowers the boost and timing settings to get close to stock power
2. Full stock mode, only available from a Revo dealer and flashes a full factory original file to the Ecu. This file will be an identical file to the one that the car left the factory with, and in most cases its fully up to date with the latest factory updates.
For some reason the OP's sps switch isnt switching to stock. Personally I dont like the SPS switch, its far to easy for cars owners to play with things and cause problems hence we dont stock or sell them, we tell customers to come back to us if they want it reverted to stock and flash a full factory stock file, but some customers love the product so its horses for courses.
If the problem dissapears when flashed to stock, does this mean the problem is in the software or is the problem being caused by the effect of the software? An underlying engine problem may not show up under standard performance parameters, but may well do under highly tuned conditions.
As a tuner you are always stuck between a rock and a hard place, do you tune for low power figures just to be safe but miles behind the competition when it comes to real power gains or tune for maximum reliable gains and be accused of pushing things too hard? Revo have this covered though, the settings are fully adjustable and customisable to the customers demands and expectations, unlike a 1 size fits all handheld device which often leaves customers dissapointed.
Im starting to sound like a REVO fanboy, but just trying to put some facts accross from a tuers point of view that deals with software for all makes and models and installs software from various tuning developers.

So can I come along to get the car flashed then please Dave, Tried ringing a few times to get booked in but you dont answer to my phone number :rolleye:
So just say for example that the fault doesnt come on with the oem map file. Then if I pay for a stage 2 map file, this might be ok as it isnt requesting as much from the engine?
As far as causing problems, the only reason I bought the sps device was to turn the car down a bit for the summer months etc, as I didnt see that running B9T5F5 would have been a goog idea with the stock IC when it eventually starts to get warm up in the summer :wink:
