Title: Those with the new Revo intake....
Post by: bacillus on September 22, 2013, 11:41:07 pm: Could you please post your fuel trim values together with the mileage since intake fitted.

It's vcds block 032 and you don't have to start the car to get the values.

What are your fuel trim values together matey?

:happy2:
Title: Re: Those with the new Revo intake....
Post by: bacillus on September 26, 2013, 11:07:01 am: Neil my idle trim is roughly the same as yours but my long term value is 7ish% though I've not done more than 250 miles with it atm.

fwiw your long term trim value is very good.

Yours could maybe change threw time then, how do you find the intake?

any extra noise from it?
whooosh!

power wise any different?
Title: Re: Those with the new Revo intake....
Post by: bacillus on September 26, 2013, 12:08:03 pm: Surprisingly, and after being told it would be noisier, I find the noise level similar to the twintake.

The car is definitely more eager in the mid range but not planning a RR session just yet.
Title: Re: Those with the new Revo intake....
Post by: scopes on September 26, 2013, 01:16:11 pm: I seem to have more of a flutter noise when changing gears now... I assume it's air being pushed back out from the turbo!
Title: Re: Those with the new Revo intake....
Post by: Homer on September 29, 2013, 07:02:03 pm: So do you guys prefer the twintake or the revo?
Title: Re: Those with the new Revo intake....
Post by: MC71 on September 29, 2013, 07:35:30 pm: Ive had my REVO CAI fitted for a week now (sorry no VCDS) and find it quieter than both the ITG Maxogen and EVOMS previously fitted to the car.

Mind you, I can't hear the thing once the Powervalve TBE gets going though! :laugh:

Good long term trim :happy2:.
Your idle trim seems a little high though.

It seems alot of people and other tuners are recommending against the twintake after its been proven its not as efficient as the other alternatives!

Post by: LVS Racing on December 14, 2013, 10:20:21 am: I have ran the Twin take on my GTI all this year. They work well but planning on stage 2+ next year so thought I would change to the Revo Intake.

Anyone interested in the Revo Items, please PM me and I`ll sort a price :happy2:

Battery has sh*t itself, left it connected for 10-12 weeks. (It's a 4.5kg Braille)

New one is en route :happy2:

Post by: rich83 on December 14, 2013, 11:21:06 am: :sick: was it under warranty?
Title: Re: Those with the new Revo intake....
Post by: Tfsi_Mike on December 14, 2013, 11:45:33 am: Initial thoughts;

The heat shield end is obviously much nicer finished that the ITG

The filter element is smaller than the one that came on my ITG (my head thinks bigger lets more air in?)

The 'route' the air takes looks smoother, the pipe work looks like it's larger in diameter but I don't have one to put side by side.

The bit of silicone that joins the main pipe to the filter could do with being an inch or so longer, I think this may have been remedied in newer kits. Not sure

Got the cam coated version, might wrap the back of the heat shield with heat reflective material for my usual overkill 'belt & braces, every little helps' approach.

Got high hopes, it gets great reviews and looks decent.

It has to be said the Heath Robinson look of my wrapped ITG with foam heat shield never bothered me aesthetically as I felt it did a decent job. Looking forward to seeing how this one performs :party:
