got S3 stage 1 revo today ........
« on: February 06, 2010, 11:34:10 am »
after seeing every one else go the revo route i decided to trial revo before going my tried and tested route of custom code , ive had a few vw and skoda s all custom coded and always been impressed
  the drive home in the S3 , the car is noticably smoother and has more punch at 4k rpm and feels faster and is an improvement over oem BUT the power delivery and overal feel is no where near where custom code is !! my ed 30 with CCstage 1 was silky smooth but rapid with it , revo mat be better at higher stages of tune but at stage 1 CC imo is loads better
  i thought i might be leaving CC but no chance , now where is JBS s number ........................ :happy2:

You can't really exploit the most of the trial software as I'm pretty sure it has hasn't been set up for max performance.

When i had the trial map installed on my car i was told by the garage its about 70% of the full version so there is more power to be had with the full version. I would not argue with him after having the full trial installed and tinkering using the select plus switch. the perfromance map B6 T2 F9 vs B7 T5 F9 what a difference:grin:

dont get me wrong ben from avp explained that proper install is "slightly "better but the power is there , but the way its delivered is much better with custom code , at inters 08 my ed 30 with CCstage 1 was better than a revo stage 2 and dan paynes CC stage 2 is awesome     the CC stage 1 is also £200 cheaper than revo (if revo had impressed me i would have paid the money but sorry guys it dont !!!!! )

[/quotesuprised me too mate , i thought i would be sold on revo but CUSTOM CODE is way a head , not saying the numbers beat revo by any means but for me the driveability of the CC is miles better( i am comparing this to my ed 30 just hope the CC map does to my S3 what it did to my ed30 , ill know next weekend if i can get it booked in ) the £200 i save can go toward another mod , looking at h&r s  !!!!!! :laugh:

Take it from one who knows.....

REVO>CC

Same day at Inters I went down the strip four or five times in the morning and couldn't get under a 5.55 to 60 and under 13.95 for the 1/4. Thought I'd give REVO a go and swapped straight to stage 2+ and bob's your uncle I did a 5.16 0-60 and a 13.6 qtr, all without more than 10 mins adaptation of the ECU.

Similarly, on Nobles dyno I made a maximum of 333 bhp on CC and with the same bolt-on's I did a 363bhp with REVO.

Don't misunderstand me though, the CC phase 2+ software is good, but it just isn't as good as REVO. :smiley:

Bear in mind the S3 and ED30 are two different cars, there will be more transmission losses with the 4 wheel drive system so it might not feel as fast as a ED 30

I wouldnt imagine the power loss from the quattro system vs fwd would be that noticeable to the person driving, must be fractions of a second your talking when in gear accelerating.

i understand what your saying , for those of you that are into your figures revo might give better return or those who have further mods may benefit more from revo software BUT  i dont care about how fast my car goes down the pod or the bhp on the rollers , i m talking real driving and imo at stage 1 CC is better , going to try and book CC for next weekend at midland vw so i get free rolling road so any one interested will know the figures :happy2:
