New Leon 1.6 with Revo ?

[geom]

Anyone here that revo'ed the Leon Mk2 1.6 ?

I had mine (revo software and bmc replacement filter) and i noticed a general improvement over the rpm rang up to 5000 rpms but after 5300 i think it's the same as before. I have only 3000km (about 1700miles) and i wonder if they are not enough to get the maximum performance i was expecting.

I would like to hear your personal observations and if the engine revs more easily to highe rpms or to the limit.

Thanks

Making an assumption that the 1.6 is normally aspirated, a remap & a filter is only going to offer so much improvement over standard.

Whats the cars standard bhp? 110bhp?

The remap wont remove the restriction beyond 5000rpm - surely that will be caused by a restriction such as the exhaust, downpipe or limitatons of the engine?

I forgot to say that the upgrade had a different air intake, more free than the standard. So to summarize, we have revo software, bmc replacement filter inside the original airbox and new air intake.

Yes, it's normally aspirated with 102bhp standard power but some dyno graphs say its 104-105.
Revo and local dealer claim a performance increase up to 115bhp and about 25Nm more.

tbh, I would imagine that no matter how much air you can get in on a small capacity n/a engine, there will be a limit to how much fuel the injectors can deliver, and the cam duration wont be as aggressive as a performance engine.

i agree, but i wondered if someone else had the same observations as me...
