This is an overlay of my stock vs stage 1 rolling road results.

Really happy with it. Not only peak power but the area under the graph which is more important really.  :driver:

In tomorrow for a service+ at AKS

Oil change + filter with millers nano drive 5w40
Spark plugs (alex to advice on type)
Fuel Filter (never been changed before)
PCV rev. N (never been changed before)
DSG basic settings reset
REVO K04 stage 1 linear version (I am getting beefed with only having to use 1cm of throttle travel)

Might put my 17s on in the morning if its dry  :driver:

Fuel filter change made a massive difference for me. Car felt more "free".

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Free as a bird! You is flyin' Jaz!

Funny how those little things make such an unexpected difference, but fuel is pretty fundamental when you think about it!

My fuel filter was a bit yuk aswell when I had it changed.


Is there a particular reason for changing the PCV and for resetting your DSG? :smiley:

PCV i still on the 2007 version that came with the car, its more of a preventative measure than actually fixing something thats broken, but it saves me another trip up there if it dies soon. DSG reset just because its never been done (despite DSG oil change been carried out, i don't think VW did the full reset) and sometimes it feels a bit lumpy.

Is your DSG remapped, Rich? Mine was a bit 'lumpy' and my Revo DSG remap sorted that.

Afaik they have made one now. When I initially got my car updated they only had the stock throttle version.

I'm hoping that the new linear version doesn't make my "part throttle rattle" re-appear.
