I went to JKM today to have the Revo software update (Stage 2). There wasn't anything wrong with the old map but I thought I might aswell go for the update as I wanted to try the linear throttle map too...



I had a power run before the update and another one after the update. It made 6.2hp less after but I'm not too worried about that, I doubt I'd notice that on the road anyway. I'm really glad I chose the linear throttle map, feels like I am in control of the power delivery a lot more compared to before, definitely feels more progressive.

Settings went from B6 T3 F8 to B8 T3 F8. Jim said he could've probably upped the boost to 9 but suggested B8 is fine.

Car looking very good, Mandy - The wheels suit it well  :happy2:

Nice smooth curves too (I'm referring to the JKM dyno plots - Honest!).

Lol, thanks Robin. I'm loving the wheels more and more each day. :drool:

I like it but I guess it depends on how you want the power delivered. :smiley:

Lol, I was actually talking to Jim about intercoolers... The S3 one sounds like a good option, just so time consuming to fit!

...
I changed from my revision D DV back to revision G a couple of weeks ago, I noticed the car was making more noises, a lot of chattering- apparently not necessary a good thing so I will be changing back to the D revision. :rolleye:

sounds like you had the same conversation with Jim as I did... so pleased I've fitted it, feels great... Maybe I should offer a fitting service ;)

Have you thought about THS Mandy?

Or there is that new make that I can't remember the name of but there was a group buy.

Its worth saving up for the THS if you can get one always seem out of stock.

I would only go Pro-Alloy/Apr over the S3 Intercooler, which is totally adequate for upto stage2+...

Oh yeah, what ever happened to the group buy lol?

At the moment I've got no intention of fitting any intercooler, if the S3 one wasn't such a pain to fit then I would've prob gone with that just to help the car along. Fitting wise the FMIC's seem like a good idea but I'm not sure how much lag (if any) they would create, heard mixed reviews... No plans to go stage 2+ anyway so don't absolutely 'need' one. :grin:

Lol I know, first thing Jim said to me was 'I told you you should've left it...' :grin: But the point of the software update is not for higher peak figures, just to make the power more useable. :happy2:
