yea I would have thought it would be setup to use the higher octane alright, really appreciate all the thoughts as it did seem that the figure was out by about 20-30bhp i will reset the ecu this evening and see this may adjust for fuel too, i am going to order service parts here too as will do no harm. all the sensors are going to get checked via logs this evening too hopefully something will help me get to the bottom of this and get another power run done shortly see if there is any improvement.
i would look into the MAF sensor, give it a good service. check for any faults on vag com. check all the turbo hose connections for leaks. if its had a tip check everything has been fitted correct and the clips are tight, maybe buy some hi grip clips to make sure you have no boost leaks. just give it a good going over.
but i wouldnt worry because a chap once dyno'ed mine at 181bhp. its a maped lcr. tryed to make some money out of me to say he would put it right, took it down the road and it made 258bhp. this is a realistic figure and never expect more than what is quoted .ie 265bhp by revo, sometimes on the dyno lottery but i bet thats the best top figure they have ever seen. 250 is more realistic i think.

233bhp is way down for a mapped LCR, my LC makes more than that. As suggested above, log your MAF readings, something isn't quite right. Do you have receipt to prove that it was a REVO remap?
standard is your normal 95ron unleaded. which is fine mate, most if not all stage 1 maps are designed for the car to be run on normal 95ron unleaded. I once had REVO on my golf 1.8T and an SPS2 unit, which allows you to switch between standard and higher octane fuel.
Mine made 274 BHP 2 weeks after changeing from 95 ron to 97 ron.
I dont see as useing Vpower would make you an extra 30 BHP.
If the K&N is new rub your hand over it and see if any oil comes off onto your hand, if it does it could be that the MAF is coated in it.

hello mate, just got myself a lcr 225 and was planning revo remap. I was hoping for near 265 bhp but seems like it's a bit unrealistic from the comments on here. Hope you get it sorted.
Opinion varies. In the early days we were all happy to beleive that stage 1 did 265-270bhp, then the belief seems to have changed that it's more like 250-255.
10-15bhp is dyno lottery territory.
There are a few graphs around showing 265-270, there are some showing significantly higher. Personally, I beleive 265-270 is right on a well setup car.
Someone will come on in a bit saying "...but it what it drives like..."

I have just had my Revo Stg 1 done 2 days ago so i will up my results when my car goes on RR in few weeks so should be settled in by then also will have had at least 2 tanks of Super through it.
Mine seems to pull like a train after 3k so im am fingers crossed i will be knocking near to 265bhp i hope.

but its what it drives like !!
lol syk i joke i joke
what is all this about resetting ecu ??? how do you do this ???
i had the test trial done and to be honest i wouldnt care what power it pulled it was just alot of fun
My LCR (year 2005, 225) standard only made 208bhp
Then it was mapped to Revo stage 1 and made 246bhp (on same RR) - not that great a headline figure but a 38bhp increase. This added to 225 is 263bhp - so right on the money for an increase.
Then it was mapped to Revo stage 2 and made 253bhp (on same RR) - again not that great, but look at the curves difference, not just in bhp but also torque:
I think this shows that 'headline' maximum figures are not everything.
Also comparing my graphs with all those that have been on the JKM RR days I have the 2nd highest bhp for a (non big turbo) LCR.
Hopefully this will change with a few tweaks to the car on the 28th March.
I am gunning for 262bhp - which will be the highest displayed online on that particular RR (as long as I don't get 'beaten' by another LCR on the day that is) ....

ok so took some logs and from what I can see ok but to be honest wouldn't have a clue what I am looking at they are:
These logs were took in 3rd gear maybe not the best but wasn't enough free space for 4th......
also getting a fault code which is
1 Fault Found:
16804 - Catalyst System: Bank 1: Efficiency Below Threshold
P0420 - 35-00 - -
Readiness: 0000 0000
Would anything anyone sees be causing any problems.
Many Thanks

That fault is a lambda sensor fault, this 'could' be giving you problems which'could' result in low firgures, get this sorted out before chasing remapper to ensure its definately not the cars fault.
