I know its been touched on before but has anyone with a revo stage 1 had the tcu done as well ? Also would anyone recommend TVS to go with it instead of the revo map as I've heard good things about them ? Thanks in advance
Hi, I know you don't need to because of the torque been within tolerance but from what I've read it really benefits the drivabilaty which is what I'm interested in?I don’t think you need to bother with a tcu remap with a stage 1.
Thanks and is that Bognor Motors by any chance ?TVS apparently compliments Revo ECU very well.
I don’t know many who have had Revo TCU on the 7 speed, but the 6 speed version was not highly rated.
That’s put me off getting Revo TCU with my Revo Stg1.
(I’ve got 7 speed)
Currently I have a custom DSG tune from Avon tuning, it’s just a basic one that raises clamping pressures and quickens shift speeds.
Stock shift points are still retained, so it has all the annoyance of the stock DSG software for driveability.
I toy with the idea of going TVS also every now and then as it’s highly rated.
My local dealer is TVS and Revo and they recommended Revo ECU and TVS TCU so make of that what you will
No it’s AP Tuning in Norfolk !!Thanks and is that Bognor Motors by any chance ?
No worriesNo it’s AP Tuning in Norfolk !!
About as far away as Bognor as you can get ))
I don’t think you need to bother with a tcu remap with a stage 1.
Which one did you go for ?Not all stage 1 tunes are created equal
Some stay within the tolerances of the gearbox but others boost the torque over it
IIRC the 6 speed is rated to 450NM so a 500NM map needs a TCU update
Either way when I had my stage 1 done without the TCU the shift points were all over the place, not matched to the engine at all. I also had clutch slip in 4th gear on the drive home on the motorway which was a bit unsettling on a DSG lol
After the TCU update the shift points felt like stock again, no more clutch slip, and as a bonus raised the rev limit to 7k.

I went for a Revo Stage one and booked in for a TVS stage 2+Where is the best place to go for a stage 1 ecu map and dsg map??
