Revo Stage 1 - Would you reccomend a panel filter too?

(1/4) > >>

ianjmclean:
Hi all,

I am hoping to sort out a Revo Stage 1 at the end of the month (2005 GTI), just curious as to whether others would reccomend a replacement panel filter at the same time? Does it make a difference? I presume that the Stage 1 is a standard map and whoever applies it (i'm in Surrey if people can reccomend anyone) won't be tweaking it?

Only experience I've had around this was with my old Leon where F1 in Brighton fitted a Custom Code map and chucked in a K&N filter as part of the deal. No idea if it made a difference or is recommended.  :confused:

Thanks in advance
Ian

A Panel filter won't hurt and it will help it breath a bit easier.

You will be lucky to get 1 Bhp extra though as it does feck all power wise. May help with MPG though :happy2:

Surrey rolling road is nearby but not sure if they supply Revo maps or not.

You have JKM in Portsmouth if you fancy a drive. Will be worth it just for the drive back ( trust me  :evilgrin:) I drove a 450 mile round trip to use JKM when i first went Stage 1 and i have used them for all the Modifications on my car bar the stuff i have fitted myself.

Second Carl's recommendation of JKM - They're experts on the 2.0T FSI and also Revo tuners with a rolling-road and on-the-road laptop.

JKM  :happy2: :happy2:
panel filter = wouldnt bother , maybe fit a new OE element if it hasnt been changed for a long time.
best save your money for a proper intake which will give you gains  :happy2:

I would be tempted to spend the money on the latest revision divertor valve as the early ones are prone to split, even more so if you have a remap.
