revo vs performance torqe.

[dazjb69]

All the same...go to the one closest too you both good companies to aim for.

Plenty of difference in price though!

so is the p torque map only £300 for the MK2 Cupra ??
if so i think ive made my mind up who im going with !! good reviews and a cheap price, sounds like a winner to me !!

 

[wild willy]

That is correct


Got 318bhp and it repeated else were about the same

That is an absolutely awesome torque curve or should i say flat line.

 

[drinkwell]

Thing is with revo you can put it back to standard but it's revos standard settings not seat's so I'd imagine that they will detect it anyway.

Correct me if I'm wrong btw

your wrong they can't detect it when its back to stock.

Any dealer could detect ANY map if they really wanted to even if it was set at stock .

It's £295 with two dyno runs mate, not bad when you consider other local tuners want £250 and ain't got a rr so can't tell what their map has done.

 

[vRSy]

your wrong mate, as others have said, its REVO's version of standard, so the REVO cde will still be on the ECU.

 

[vRSy]

That is correct

bit of a dodgy looking dip in the power curve, but that torque plateau is the best ive ever seen. thats almost as flat as the oem standard torque curve

 

[P-torque.co.uk]

Thanks for the great feedback

We set all the TFSI's up on the dyno, its the only proper way to tune a car, especially the MED9 equipped 2.0TFSI's

It's just a question of what you feel comfortable with.

Price wise p-torque is cheaper but you do not appear to get any less service for your money.

As p-torque mentioned themselves. As long as you find a tuner who wants to spend the time setting the car up properly for you with before and after RR numbers this is all you can ask for.

I went for revo based on the fact I had the trial and liked it and the place where I had it done (Monster Motorsport) make every effort to set the map up and get the best useable power and map for you.

That's all you can ask for

Good luck and let us know what you decide.

Many on here have mapped during the warranty period. Any garage can support a claim for you in the unlikley event something goes wrong, it does not have to be serviced and manatained with a SEAT garge to keep warrnaty valid.

Also note that with ECU updates if you have your car serviced at SEAT they may flash updates to the ECU and this will reset your stage 1 map back to norm!

sorry but how ?

 

[dazjb69]

sorry but how ?

Before mine was mapped it read flash attempts 0, now it shows it's been flashed, although it may show as this if it's had a dealer ecu update I reckon??

A very close friend smashed his revoed car recently and the insurance never saw a thing !?

 

[vRSy]

sorry but how ?

the fact that there is an encrpted map diferent ot he VAg one on the ECU. orthe fact that if they look up what boost is being requested etc etc.

they might not have even looked. if they see a car though with induction kits, or exhausts bolted to it, they might find them selves having a deeper look into it

 

[drinkwell]

It only had suspension/induction/battery in the boot/exhaust/fmic/front bumper modified so guess they never did

 

[DIFT]

Running around with mods that are not declared is trouble waiting to happen. It's just not worth it. If you can afford a map, filter, exhaust, fmic... You can sure afford to pay extra on your cover.

The insurance company will still pay out, but they would probably come after you for costs if they knew you had undeclared mods, plus you'll never get insurance for a decent car again.

Back to the topic, as much as I'm a revo fan boy, you simply can't argue with the p-torque map. It's not all about final figures, and the fact that you get a before and after RR, and can physically see the improvement, it gets my vote.

agreed

Well if you think that a dealer or car manufacturer couldnt detect their OWN cars ecu had been mapped then more fool you pal

As has been said above theres many ways of telling. Insurance is a different matter but i was reffering to dealers and warrenty etc.

 

[2zeroalpha]

If they look like they're in for a new engine for example or other costly warranty work, they will look and they will find. They can whip the ECU out and send it to Bosch. Was a particularly expensive case for one audi owner. There is one flash counter which can't be reset.

As for the insurance point, the chances are they never even looked. How many loss adjusters have you seen walking around with diagnostic devices?
