All Things Mk5 > Revo Zone
*** All your Revo question's and answer's in here please. ***
neg:
Read the manual and just be careful not to go too silly - especially with the timing in hotter weather.
The levels you can adjust to are all with the cars limits as long as you know what you are doing.
Plus definately worth it

if i dont have vag com then how do i know i can change the settings safely. how do i know what i should put them too.. i guess i can only get advice from you/others that have done it
WhiteGTI:
^^^ Every car is different and will react differently to the settings, so I would not recommend possibly copying another members settings. Although, sure similar principles will apply, so you can take their advice.
I would seek the advice of your tuner. If you feel the need to change the settings, then have a word with them. They should have datalogged your car in the first place to set it up with the correct settings, so they should have an idea regarding what a change would do to the car.
But as people have said, ideally you would want VCDS whenever you want to make a change.
neg:
Others can give you an idea of what is 'best' but if you then wanted to play further than this you have to take other things into consideration - mods/ambient temp/weather etc and VCDS comes into play.
I think the default settings were 549 or 449, and the 98RON default was 659 ( I think). From experience most cars running 98/99RON are ok running upto timing 6, occasionally 7 (but loggin advised just to check, or dont run it for long). Boost you can generally run what you like but they do work better altered together in most cases.

....Do you really think it's wise to adjust your settings because of what some guy on an internet car forum advised or suggested?
For example, a F9 setting might be better for one car but not for another. It's a complicated balance best left to experts like Revo themselves or their better agents unless you're a pro tuner yourself like Nick of R-Tech.
There are likely to be long term effects if you get it wrong. You don't want to run long term with fuelling too rich or too lean for example. The ECU may protect to some degree but it all has knock-on effects.
The switch is merely a convenience. For example, after a session on JKM's dyno and their study of data later, they might phone to advise me to change a setting without me needing to drive 2 hrs to visit.
