OK and no issues with it? I had to upgrade the clutch on my octy as it started slipping. The pre FL hatch that I had was fine on the OE clutch even up to 86k when I part exd it.

Did you get the DSG remapped as well?

Nope REVO don't offer DSG software for the MQB platform yet unfortunately as I would like a hardcut limiter and auto change up in paddle mode disabled.

Its good fun though.

Andrew JB is your car the one on Revo's website then? Would you recommend a Revo remap? Any issues with the 3 maps you've had (you've gone back so probably not).

there should be no difference, the engines are the same so if you at Revo's webiste you'll get 346 to 371 depending on fuel. UK fuel is better so id be looking towards the 360-370 mark if i was you

I would strongly disagree with this. Germany and Switzerland both have 105 and 101 octane at normal fuel pumps

Agreed. My point referred to revo figures as they release them RoW, so places like america would expect to see the lower end. I wasnt aware where raven was from either, assumed uk and stated that he should hope to see the higher end

No remap but a box. I get wheelspinn IF i floor it 1st to 2nd Gear. Nomatter which speed. Especially 1st Gear is tricky with The dsg, its easy to give it to much gas. When 3rd Gear kicks in you can feel The difference in acceleration.

Only the current car has REVO, my previous MK2 LCR was APR, FR TDI was Shark Performance and Ibiza was Custom Code.

So, just +50bhp and 80Nm. Without getting too hung up on the actual numbers as rolling roads are hardly the most repeatable of test methods. It's not much of gain, only 16% increase in power, 22% torque.

I've remapped several Cupras, all were arround an 80bhp and 70 ftlb increase. That's stage 1 DNA tuning
