He did use vag com @ the time but we didn't do any logs whilst driving.

....I was under the impression that it was also important to do logging whilst driving. Personally, unless I knew that a 'friend' was either a professional or a very experienced expert I wouldn't rely on him/her. Listen and learn from them yes, but then get a professional second opinion. Didn't you trust AmD's settings?
For example, JKM have comprehensively logged my car twice on the road in the last fortnight and adjusted my Revo settings accordingly - Would I alter them on the advice of a friend, even with VCDS? - No way!

It is pretty straightforward to log the car, and increase the settings incrementally. As long as an individual logs the correct parameters and has a reasonable knowledge, in my opinion it is perfectly acceptable to trust setting adjustment to a spare time tinkerer.
I should imagine there are many Revo agents who are in no way experts in engine mapping - I asked my agent various questions about the Revo map, and they admitted they didn't know the answers, but they're still perfectly capable of using an SPS to optimise Revo settings to a car / fuel.

....Fair enough. Thanks for bothering to explain that :drinking:
Personally, I prefer to trust JKM's 5-year 'intimate' knowledge of my car and their 2.0T FSI and Revo experience. It's just for my own piece of mind.

Perfectly reasonable attitude IMO - better to be cautious. In case I was ambiguous, I agree there is a need to log the car whilst driving (not just monitor the real time numbers) and especially under load, to see that the settings are okay. I've logged mine with different fuel grades and set the SPS accordingly, and been pretty conservative. No doubt some people throw caution to the wind and incorrectly assume 9/9/9 is the way to go......

I think (am not 100% sure) that Revo say that you can't do any harm on 9/9/9 but surely you can create problems in the longer term by greater demands. It must surely depend on the performance hardware mods each car has.
Currently, after fitting the APR pump, JKM have set F7 and *only* B7 because the roads were very wet and full of traffic so Jim couldn't push so hard when logging on the road. We'll possibly adjust it up a notch after the next opportunity to push hard.
Being cautious has stood me in good stead so far in 100,000 miles of joy and over 60k of them Revo remapped.

I had mine setup at Revo HQ.
They did 2 settings for me and left the 3rd one empty for me to do. They did....
A: B6, T5, F9
and a bit more aggressive,
B: B8, T4, F9
Both perform sweet!
