Revo Stage 2 (Probably Stage 1)
Kalpsn2000:
I am planning on getting my GTI (KO3) mapped soon and looking at Revo.
I was thinking of going straight to stage 2. What hardware changes are required?
I fitted a BCS TBE last week and have read the intake will need changing. Also that the DV should be changed for any stage. Anything else or will that be ok for stage 2?
MC71:
TBE and CAI should be fine for stage 2. Most peeps seem to be going with the Revision G Diverter valve now (latest diaphragm one) with no problems reported with splitting and holds boost really well.
From REVO's website....

Thanks for that :happy2:
The site mentions an intercooler, is this a necessary part of stage 2 or can I get away with just the TBE, CAI & DV?
MC71:
If it were me (my Eddy is only stage 1 so its not) I'd get the Stage 2 map and think about adding an intercooler and also a HPFP as they both can only help with the temp' and fuelling respectively. If I were you, I'd go along to a recommended tuner and have a chat and go from there. For now I think with a standard REVO stage 2 map, you'll be fine.

You definitely don't need an aftermarket intercooler on Revo Stage 2 on K03 unless you do lots of trackdays in the Summer. Sure, it reduces temperatures but is definitely not needed and my car is proof of that regardless of what Revo say. Revo Stage 2+ needs an intercooler.
IF you add a very efficient aftermarket tubular high-flow air intake it is very likely that you'll need an aftermarket high pressure fuel pump to deal with the extra air in the air-fuel mix (or you risk power hesitations or cut-outs). You don't have to change the intake to run Stage 2 but it does release more power from the remap. Same applies to the TBE.

VW have at last revised their DV to be better than the early ones which were inclined to rip under heavier boost levels, so an up-to-date revison OEM DV should do fine.
