Caution when getting a trial

Down at paramount performance having a dyno done and now a remap.

When they dyno'd first it came up as 214bhp. Which I was shocked by. Though they then tested to see if they could read the ecu map though couldn't. The revo trial locks the ecu. The map specialist said they sometimes do this.

Then he re tested it and came up at 180bhp as it went to valet mode as they tried to read the map.

Now they are taking the revo off and then remapping.

So ne careful when thinking about the trial as most tuners won't touch it due to the lock on the ecu. Very sneaky as this was never mentioned to me prior to the trial.

They should tell you this before the trial.  :mad:

Interesting that your tuner says they lock the ecu. If that was the case how come Skoda managed to overwrite my Revo map on my Octavia?

What Revo do is move files around so they are no longer where they were and that confuses people but lock it, I don't think so.  :wink:

You should have had your original map put back on after the Revo trial.

Not sure on the specifics, though switching to valet mode is strange. All I know is the error message said it could not read the map. Saw it myself.
