Not really, maybe a Revision G Diverter Valve if your still on your original one. No other mpds are required for stage 1.  Your REVO tuner should make sure your car is in decent co diction prior to installing the map.

Worth getting it installed by a reputable tuner recommended on the forum. Revo franchise is available to any thomas, richard or harold that don't really understand the engine they are "tuning" and therefore won't set it up properly or know what faults to look for  :happy2:

I can only echo this,

A Revo, now apr tuner was adamant my stock K03 GTI would make 300hp with no supporting mods & a stage 1 map lol

+1

Also the recommended tuners on this forum are usually about half the price of REVO.

I have a PDT map and love it. R-Tech are also recommended along with a couple of others.

But that can be said about anyone dishing out maps. There are some damn fine Revo dealers out there and once you find one they are definitely worth keeping.  :smiley:

Well that dealer is talking out his hoop and it sounds like it doesn't matter what product he's selling.  :stupid:

Exactly!

I'm not one to suggest any other tuners if the OP has his heart set on one  :wink:

looking to get a stage 1 revo map and just wondering if theres anything i'll need to up grade or anything



Get it done and you won't look back , the difference to stock is amazing . 240 bhp is plenty enough IMO
