As others have said including Pabs and Tony I would definately concur with their thought's as the issue is more thna likely to be a hardware issue. The TFSI can be a funny beast and various problems and issues have been found out over the years when trying to extract optimum performance.
Revo I'm sure have pretty well perfected their style of code and APR have recently revised their code. I found that the APR delivery was very OE and smooth but they are quite aggressive initially which is when typically seen on APR and GIAC software. Some of this can be put down to conditions on the day or the RR used. Their V2 software has smoothed out some of this as John_O can confirm.

I sold my Edition 30 which was stunning but needed more and more investment to make perfect such as big brakes, a diff and clutch and a larger FMIC.....there goes another £4-5k...oouch!! I had the car a year but it had to go with mortgage, kids and other financial pressures I was getting fed up lashing out thousands but I was pleased with APR 's product but in reality I don't think there are huge differences between APR and Revo except the map switching.

I'm now driving a E46 BMW which has a lovely chassis and engine and is filing the gap until what I really want which is an RS4 or 996 C2 .

I know...at VWR...all the jobs I would have done if I'd kept it. Other priorities in life I'm afraid take precedence over cars :sad1:

Still it was a good experience and it was good to know what it was capable of but sadly my good old 200bhp MK2 16v was still lapping 2 secs a lap quicker at Combe so another 5k was vital to make the car super quick on track and it was too nice to rag it regularly on track.

Carl, now this is a disclaimer as i'm not responsible for you spending the cash as i could be wrong  :popcornsoda: but i would definately be suspecting a fuel sensor problem. I believe that when they act up they don't show a fault code either..

haven't really read all the thread.

but two things.

from reading the driving impressions , where one time the power is there and gone the other. that really sounds like LIMP Mode.
you have to take into consideration that all tuning companies play with the Limp mode and it is not as extreme "power off" as in stock.

you might want to do a check on lambada and EGT going on full throttle from 2nd to 6th since logs on a dyno vary a lot from logs on the road as heat builds up.

as for who's tune to go for . i hope to start my build thread next week.
i can just tell you one thing . when you will see the numbers my car made (Cupra) on APR stage1 , tested on a Dynapack dyno you will be truly amazed :)
