Hi,

Its the map i guarantee you...

The previous owner who had my Pirelli said he had it remapped.. but it kept mis firing higher rev range... so he took it off...

All i did was went to REVO HQ.. Carl messed around with it a bit.. and bingo... i've never had a misfire  :happy2:

another member, who i keep in contact with, has all my mods i have and used to get the misfires just with the stage one tune but ever since going extreme he hasnt gotten it so i am pretty sure its the springs. I have read that REVO and APR have found a way to work around the valve spring issue but i do not plan to go with those companies...

There is a mechanical reason why the Misfire occurs and as correctly mentioned above, REVO have a modified map available to owners with a Misfire issue.

Only on stage 1 though

not sure if its just on stage 1 but i have heard that whilst REVO and APR have worked around the issue by just reducing the boost limit before the 6000-6500 mark, it does not solve the issue of the valve springs. Just talked to my mechanic so he's going to see if he can get some VW service people to talk to otherwise he'll be the one to do the job

PS cant seem to reply to PMs but to danishmkvgti, my mechanic put the RS4 valve in to compensate for the higher boost requirements of the GIAC extreme flash. It gave a few kw's as well, since getting dynod, my k04 is pushing the most power out of all the other k04s including S3s , TTSs and GTIs with k04 conversions in Australia
