Is stage 1 worth it?

I contacted Revo a few months ago and was advised that they are still working on a map for this engine, and that they were hoping to have something this summer.

An Update to this thread, as to whether stage 1 is worth it.
Car is now 3yo and I prob keep it for another 3 years.
I have just had mine done at a local shop that uses alienware and Kessi, then adjusts the map to the car and all checked out on a rolling road , and road test.

I specifically requested to map it for 95RON as 99 is ridiculousy priced IMO (and I dont see the point in anything over 240 for this engine.. to much wheelspinning for a 2WD), and the fuel ecomony in D mode is excellent usually.
What I wanted is the performace improved when in S mode, and on the DSG.
They adjusted everything including torque limiters for the DSG etc.

Results.... D mode.... much the same, but more torque when turbo kicks in, which is just what I wanted.

S mode..... now brutal accelleration compared to before and DSG just ticks changes so smoothly.
Before it was so so... and seemed to run out of puff at higher revs.

According to powerline on the Dynamometer, power peaks at nearly 240 @5000rpm.( Not bad for 95RON eh!)

So... is it worth it? :unsure:
