Make sure you go to a reputable Revo dealer (one that will check the car over properly before and after).

May be worth installing a panel filter and removing the exhaust pre-cat to get the best gains. An accurate Dyno will give you around 245bhp, a generous Dyno will give you 250+bhp with the mods I've suggested.

Just make sure you've replaced your Cam follower and PCV, and your car is well maintained

Plenty of reviews out there. Try the review section or google it

Continue with your Revo plans. The revo map is a quality product with plenty of happy owners. Just ensure everything is good to go. I.e plugs filters good quality oil and dv has no leaks

@K9 (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=6852)

If you can hold out until the Revo Xmas sale is on you can save 20%. Well worth it as Revo is bl00dy expensive, especially with the SPS switch (which is a must)
