Title: How many of you have the revision G?
Post by: Homer on October 19, 2013, 11:24:42 pm
What's your thoughts on it after using it? Any noticeable differences when driving? Thanks

No discernible difference from Rev.D for me, I'm sure most experience a difference because there's has split.  I VCDS benched before and after with little to no diff.  But hey the rev g is cheaper, grab it. :happy2:

Swapped Rev D for Rev G to see if it was any better but little difference felt

I had a rev D on for a year and changed to the rev G and I did notice a difference, the G makes a slightly more noise and for me it seemed to work better aswell which would suggest the D had a leak

I had the revision 'D' on my Edition30 for all of two week's before I changed back as I felt the boost was'nt holding longer with it.

Only ever had the G, feels great. No problems. Heard nothing but negative comments from peeps with tuned cars on the revision D so if your cars mapped then its a G for you.

Plus it's such a cheap item I change mine once a year for a minty fresh one.

Changed to rev g after original split. Other than the fact I got my boost back there is no real difference to how the other one used to be.

^^^^that one had an easy life.  :innocent:  Did you notice any difference over your previous one or was it just a precautionary change?

I've had a C, then D and my last 2 have been G's. To be fair all of them haver been in great condition when removed. My latest one may well be taking a battering though!  :evilgrin:

mine made 361bhp with the Revision D so no point swapping to a G, which might hold boost better, but still runs the risk of splitting at some point

Haven't got around to fitting it yet. I'll do it when I change to my winter wheels.

There shouldn't be a noticeable difference from D to G. The G is a better redesigned C ;p

I fitted a G just before having the car remapped as a precautionary, seems to still be intact though!
