I've used this MBC, really nice bit of kit.... expensive but worth it if you're serious about getting the most from the car as can be tuned to suit the gear you're in and much more! one of those ones that you've never really finished fiddling with :)

can i get the reasoning on manual boost controller on tfsi ?
are you not going to custom tune to his turbo ?
are you seriously just going to run gt3071 maps on his car and then lower boost through an external controller ?

im sure Revo have a GT28 file anyway (its a rather common turbo on the 2.0TFSI these days)

gillm just wants a MBC to flaff about with  :P (he gets bored easily)  :signLOL:

EDIT: or maybe not lol (just read his other thread )

no ,
if you read his post in the Revo forum , they have suggested it.
also , i have not heard of a 2871 revo car.
especially an 0.85 A/R one.

The only reason you would need to run a manual boost controller is that we do not support that turbo as the 3071r is much more efficient!

there's your reason ;-)

that's a no no in my book.

get someone to custom tune your turbo.

i am not sure on who's doing what in the UK , but UNI offer custom tunes and had some success in the US.

if you change some of your specs you might get APR to give you their software. and since i presume you are reffering to HURDY's kit , if i am not mistaken he is using an 0.86 A/R which is the same as APR's kit.

No that's a valid reason.... we will not tune something that we do not deem efficient! We will not deceive customers.... the GT2871rs is marginally bigger than a K04..... so why use it, the 3071r is a brilliant upgrade! It spools at the same point as a 2871 but keeps making power long after the 28!

Why fit anything else?!

Carl ,
i understand your point although i do not fully agree (see apr stage III and IV) but each company is entitled to its own opinion.

but if you don't offer a tune for the GT2871 than why do you suggest it to the client (GILIM) . it is obvious that this will not be an optimized tune and will not extract the potential power of the 2871 and might event cause EGT and AFR problems.

i think its better to respond like you did now and say - "We don't offer a tune" than to offer some hybrid that's obviously prone to fail.

 :indifferent:

Have you been in an APR stage III car?? Seriously, there not as impressive as they look on the 'videos'

If Revo say that they would supply a map and control the boost with a manual controller and feel that is a valid option (which I see absolutely no reason why not) then they must be 100% sure it is.. Why bother if not? Remember, Revo have the option of supplying the Stage 4 file to who they want..

GillM.. Go with Revo, or take a punt with someone else, as thats all it will be.. You will end up back with Revo wishing thats what you did first time round.. Your more than welcome to have a passenger ride out with me in mine and ill demonstrate just how smooth and efficiently the Revo Stage 4 map is!
