[FR*Man1984]

Hi there peeps

anyone got any info for me on these REVO's performance upgrades.

am really interested, sent them an email tonight, and going to pop into the preston place when i'm next over and get some details, but anything before-hand would be great.


am i doing the right thing? do i need to upgrade anything else? brakes etc etc

cheers

Brett.

Use the search function, its been discussed millions of times before...

id uprate the brakes to 312mm TT ones if your gonna remap IMO

i'd go stage 2 mate.god i wished i lived on the isle of man

 

[FR*Man1984]

yeah the iom is good but has it's bad points just like anywhere...it's expensive to live here, costs allot to fly to the uk, or sail...but then there isn't speeding limits on the unlimited roads, as long as you're safe.

so what does this stage 2 provide me then? baring in mind i've got a TDi ???

 

[Sisson]

you can't get stage 2 for a tdi mate.

Most tuners give similar power increase,just differnet power delivery,

a few are:

Custom code
Revo
Jabba

There are loads more

you'll be looking at between 170-180bhp with 300lb/ft of torque.

nah didn't think i could! but just seeing that post i thought i'd better ask...maybe he didn't read what i had put down.

can't wait tho! is there anything i should be made aware of, or will the guys at revo tell me when i call in? i say revo, i just can't remember what the name of the place is called in preston...something technology...lol

 

[WeeJase]

i said I would go stage 2 if i lived on the IOM i can get it

 

[FR*Man1984]

alright sorry weejase ! if you lived on the iom then i think you'd be as bored as i am! lol

 

[FR*Man1984]

So i'm going to REVO up in November, gives me plenty of time to get the brakes done, yes?

So first question, these brake conversions...where do i go to get one, how much will it cost...and do i have to get it done professionally, or can my dad and i have a go at doing it ourselves?

cheers for your help

Brett.

£240 for the Full TT 312mm setup..

You can do it yourself or pay someone to do it..

Im lazy and paid JBS £80 to do mine!

 

[gazjones]

the only problem really is bleeding the system asfter you replace the calipers as doing the brakes yourself isnt to hard if you have a bit of mechanical knowledge

 

[FR*Man1984]

oh right thats pretty cool...and would these new brakes & calipers fit behind the standard 17" fr alloys/wheels?

as i';ve heard depending on what upgrade you go for, have to be careful as they may not fit with standard wheels etc...

does that make sense?

 

[gazjones]

with 17 you will be fine 312mm setup fits behind standard fr 16's also they look huge the 17 can even fit brembos under them so the tt set up will be fine!

 

[FR*Man1984]

thank you very much gaz/sisson for all your help! you've been ace, fanx for letting me pick ya brains! lol

well looking forward to setting all this up, and seeing/feeling the results of these upgrades...

how do i post pics on here of my car, it's asking for URL's for the pics ?

 

[gazjones]
