get it on a rolling road and set up properly.
I am off to PDTuning in the morning to get mine sorted, i have a very slight boost leak at top end. DV changed and all pipes smoke tested, but the car is still pulling well. Maybe it's as you say, your getting used to the power.  :sad1:

Iv had this problem with mine, found it had split a gasket on the turbo mani, BUT this was a massive flutter of audiable air!

Only true test is rolling road! basically got my car sorted after the vw garage had turned down the pre load on the actuator but without rollers id still scratchin my head still!!

ive got the same feeling.  I need to get someone with VCDS to log my car for me.  my car feels really good sometimes yet other times it just feels sh!te.  but im not sure if its just me being used to having power when ever i wanted it when i was at stage 2+.  im down on stage 1 now, but it just doesnt feel tip top. 

My MPG is worse as well, which doesnt really make sense, ive gone from a 26-28mpg average at stage 2+, to about 20mpg at stage 1

i think some logs would be a good idea but my vag.com it a crap copy and cuts out most of the time .

full checkup and logging for timing//fuel/boost etc and a dyno wont hurt.
however we all get used to 'the norm' so always worth switching back to stock for a few days  :happy2: to regain a perspective
(BTF 0/0/0 on revo ? or is it 1/1/1 for stock mode)
mine always seems to run better after this every few months

vrSy a large drop in mpg is def worth investigating though  :happy2:
