i've been in discussions with Revo since october regarding their scirocco map, having decided the Pirelli will go Revo and been privy to more detailed information on the 1.4 map they did for a fellow rocco owner i've been itching
Revo wanted a scirocco for GTI International and a manual car to do some dyno testing which linked in well with me asking who they used given i wanted some idependant figures on mine with Bluefin
yesterday was not the best day for doing dyno runs with intake temps over 50 degrees when we ran Bluefin and stock and around 65 when we ran the Revo, temps were due to the weather with 15 minute cool downs, runs were on Maha rollers
we could not get better than 243bhp out of Bluefin with intake temp of 53 degrees (at rr day 268bhp at 39 degrees), the Revo runs had intake temps of 60 at the end of the day and graphs are below
having seen the figures, was a no brainer, having driven it back 30 miles to revo hq again no brainer, interestingly we noticed the flash counter was showing 6 on my car (which is spot on) and was the final nail in the coffin
at Revo hq have added a few additions as its on the Revo Stand at GTI International this weekend for the launch
many thanks for Carl and Kev for organising everything, Nick who developed the map and gave an insight into the the development and capability of the roc's engine whilst we were at the dyno (mk6 GTI is looking good), masterclass in customer service guys, which i'd got it right first time :happy2:
john_o:
very nice :happy2: the new engines from VW certainly do the business..
In terms of your flash count , did you mean the SC incremented the flash counter (as its not supposed to?), just wasnt clear from your writeup :ashamed:
wigit:
in reality don't no if bluefin was meant to reflash the ecu count (i'm checking but propably not), issue is flick car back to standard is great but ecu flash was showing six so not product for me
