Hmm Revo vs Standard

[TimD]

Just had an interesting encounter with a standard ibiza cupra.

I am supposedly Revo'd up the car in question was apparently standard. I pulled a tiny bit away from him but not mases, very marginal.

Stopped and hat a chat to the bloke he was pleasent enough and was suprised that i didn't pull away alot more. TBH I wasn't sure what to expect.

So does Revo on it's own make a big enough difference to make a big difference between standard in real world conditions?

I need to get some logging done on my car and get a boost gauge i think

Anybody else had any Revo vs Standard encounters and have stories to tell?

Cheers

The difference is massive, nearly 50 bhp, feels totally different to drive, you should have left him i would have thought.

Revo should be a lot different to a standard car so not sure what's going on there.

I've raced a standard 156bhp cupra (mine has Revo stage 1) and there is a big difference. Pull away from the standard car from word go.

My car is REVO'd and it is much faster than standard ....

It pulls harder all the way through the revs !!

Hmm, need to buy a cable for vag-com me thinks!

 

[acidstrato]

revo'd ibiza would piss over a standard one

vagcom aint gonna tell u if its revo'd though...but u will be able to see if its remapped by the amount of airflow

 

[TimD]

I wasn't wanting a definative yes or no it's remapped. Just to see whats happening.

where is the best/cheapest place to buy a vag-com lead and what sort of delivery time am i expected to have?>

The best place is from Rosstech as they're the official ones. The cheapest are from Ebay. Can't quote you on delivery though.

I'll have a snoop around tomorrow. Off work for four days now so i have plenty of time

I know its not an Ibiza, but I have had a do with a remapped LCR and the difference was marginal, it was only marginally quicker than me......

 

[TimD]

Maybe he was suffering from the same problems as me?

Maybe.... have you noticed any drops in power recently, or over time that could explain it..?

Got my VAGCOM cable from ebay for £15 works a treat.

 

[acidstrato]

lol perhaps not the greatest idea mentioning that mate^^^ especially as ross tech use these forums

keygen's are all good and well until the guy your ripping off, no longer has the funds to continue developing the software.

Ross-tech aren't exactly Microsoft. Its a good tool, that we wouldn't have if it wasn't for folks like Uwe.

Got my VAGCOM cable from ebay for £15 works a treat with my shareware version made fulll version by keygen.

As someone said, I can't comment on the Ibiza, but revo on my LC only gave me 15bhp more so the difference would be marginal. It did however knock 1 second off my 0-60 so off the line I would expect to do well.

 

[ian_jobson]

raced my mate in his revo'd beeza mines standard just too see how big the differance was and its huge felt like i had it in reverse!

 

[cupra44]

I've drove and raced both, I have a stanard ibiza and my mate's is revo stage 1 and the difference is unreal, Tried racing him a few times but i just know i'm gonna lose everytime and i do but he just can't get grip in 1st gear with revo
