what boost with revo stage 2

[p1tse]

what's the different bhp and torque figures from revo 1 and 2 on the 225 engine?

what's required to get to revo 1 and 2?

Becuase of the recommneded modifications needed to realise the benefit of Revo Stage 2 (exhaust system / 4 bar FPR / uprated filter / aftermarket DV etc..) its not a straight comparison.

My stage 2 car was supposed to have about 310lb/ft of torque, against a stage 1 car at about 270-280lb/ft.

As for bhp there's probably not a massive amount in it. 10-15bhp at tops.

Ultimately you're stretching the envelope of the kit you already have with stage 2 (which is already quite pushed qith stage 1). Without new turbo/manifold/FMIC/internals its very difficult to realise significant gains over a stage 1 map.

I'd say use VAG-COM - you'll find the readings will differ quite a bit to a boost gauge.... I found quite a bit of difference myself!

My gauge says i peak at 21psi, then hold at about 19 - but in VAG-COM I peak at 22, sometimes 23, but hold at 17/18.

Not that it matters! If it drives well then 1-2psi is nothing between friends

Hi Pabs, your running not too disimilar figures to me then! Boost gauge is bound to be slightly out!

Just been reading this thread, I've just had my Leon Cupra 180 Revo'd and I first noticed that my boost was hitting just over 18 psi but after 3 weeks i'm only getting 16psi max with the odd occasional 18psi peak in fifth gear (not very regularly) and then holds at 14-15 psi.

When going through the gears and making progress, I've noticed the boost does not hit 16psi but tends to be either 12-14psi??

Is this normal?

Could there be a issue here?

Thats a bit strange! Is your remap switchable? When I switch my remap off and go back to stock my boost peaks at 12 psi and holds between 7 and 10 ( gauge reading)
