AMD Woking.
I have the Stage 1 done at AMD Essex but only cos they were doing the offer of the free Select switch at the time - this was over 2 years ago.
I'm hoping all these mods don't lead to bad reliability - I saw a cupra (H8T WT) on the back of a flat-bed truck being recovered the other week and made me think if all this modding was such a good idea..... :stupid:
Only thing is, it's quite boring to buy a fast car off the shelf and do nothing to it.... :signLOL:

lol haha yeah waynes car was having some issues. h8t wt is cuprak1 on here btw, not sure if you know or not.

I absolutely loved stage 1, the flat spot sorta puts a damper on things though. If your near north london maybe you could message wayne and see if you can see his stage 2 plus car in action.

Ahh right cool - CupraK1 is H8T WP. Nice car - hope he's got it sorted!
Thanks for the co-driver offer! I'm based in Surrey (not far from Woking) so I'll probably make it there before I get to North London!  :grin:

I am still putting money on the flat spot being a fuelling issue, and nothing to do with the code and I will be in a position to confirm this one way or another within 2 weeks. Spoke to Carl just now about intakes, and he recommended the ITG, so if that has proven to be the most efficient, then the fuelling modification I will be getting will definitely test things if I can have an ITG fitted prior to the fuelling modification being done.

Mine is Revo Stage 2+ and on a early 2007 car with a low BWJ engine number, therefore disproving the valve spring issue on post 2008 cars. That being said, this flat spot is present quite a few non Revo cars too again backing what Revo are saying about it being a mechanical issue.

I know I have said it on SCN, but you lads are being a bit hard on Revo with this flat spot issue. All the logs I have done and rolling road graphs show the car to be running great with the Revo code and the car is on its 3rd variation of the code now from S1 to S2 and now S2+ although I have never yet managed to log the car when the flat spot was present.

Give me 2 weeks and I will revert back with some good news hopefully, and it will be nothing to do with the Revo code I bet :happy2:

Mechanical it may be but seeing as its also on quite a few 07 cars its safe to say that revo dont know the cause of the issue, and yes there are other maps with this flat spot, however I cant find any giac or apr users with this flat spot.

I have no idea why its doing it, but all I want is a solution and I hope your project sorts the issues  :happy2:
