driving Stage 1?

It’s good. How the car should have been from factory to be honest. I don’t notice it anymore. It pulls better lower in the rev ranges. I suppose you will going from stock to stage 1. I had a mobile guy come out n put a Quantum map on it. I’d go for a reputable company with good reviews. A lot of guys on here vouch for Revo and APR.
Nah, traction is good in these cars. You have to understand your car, how much to press the peddle etc., not just floor it all the time. It’s FWD so once it’s rolling, traction isn’t an issue, and it puts its power down well. The only issue is launching. It’ll wheel hop/spin depending on if you have traction control on, how much you floor it etc. Once it hits 3rd it pulls like a train!
Perfect, don’t get a flash and dash my advice is same as above either go APR or go get a custom remap. There’s a million mile difference between a good custom map and a flash and dash from someone who doesn’t have a clue what they are doing and just lifts all limitations.
It was a Quantum map I had on my previous 1.6TDI. Absolutely transformed the car, so much more drivaeable than standard, and significantly better on fuel economy as well. Would certainly recommend. Was thinking about doing the same to my current 2.0TDI 150, but the missus says no......
I’ve recently bought a 290 and had a Revo map put on straight away. Wakes the car up and it’s a lot of fun to drive. In all honestly my daily commute is a 30min stretch of motorway through a 50mph zone and it drives like any other normal car. Even gives me 45mpg every day which was a pleasant surprise. But of course the fun is when you find any open stretch that’s quiet and you can open up a bit more. Then you really feel the benefits of the extra tune. I’d def recommend it.
I've had my car on a stage 1 340bhp /450nm for 30,000 miles now, in that time I've had to replace the clutch and that's about it. The difference with the tune is night and day, best £500 I spent on the car I did start off with a flash map, but after getting a custom map I would never waste money on a flash again. I would highly recommend getting the powerflex engine mount and a better intake system before you map it. Without an uprated engine mount these cars wheel hop like it's going out of fashion, and the intake speaks for it's self, better sound and more air for a little extra umpff.
Check the write up I've just made of my own stage one. I had it done last week at Revo.

Revo Stage One 2.0 FR TSI
Hello everybody! Thought I would share my experience of having my car remapped. I drive a 2019 Leon ST 2.0 TSI. From the factory this develops 190 hp & 236 lbs/ft. The car has never felt slow during my short ownership (purchased Jan 2024), in fact it has proved to be quite brisk. I just wanted...
