Tossco fuel has a very high proportion of E85, it gets them a fiddle on the duty thus making more profit. Oh, and its crap.

I suggest you actually look and see exactly what 'E85'.  Tesco 99 is NOT 'E85'!

They use Toluene to boost the figures.. Pretty nasty stuff.. You can really smell it if you use that fuel..

Ahh yes, its Tolly, my mistake - I knew it was something that wasn't really that good for your motor... or living things for that matter, Superduper carcinegenic stuff that - wouldn't want it on my skin :confused:

And benzine is 'oh so kind' ????

READ for once. Tesco contains 5% E85 to boost the octane of their regular crap. V-Power doesn't.

Tell me, what am I actually supposed to "look and see"?

Are you sure, I remember the exact opposite.. Tesco 99 is pretty inconsistent, sometimes its great, other times its pretty poor.. V-Power you know what your getting every time..


....That's how I know it too and I've just checked with Revo themselves for clarification : -

Their first recommendation is V-Power, followed by BP Ultimate. They know that some people report good results with Tesco 99 but currently they don't highly rate its consistency. Once upon a time, back in the day, Shell Optimax was inconsistent.

That's from the horse's mouth, Teutonic_Tamer, so I just don't see where you get your info from.

I got my info DIRECTLY  from Revo, at GTI International - speaking to them face to face.  The definately said that Tesco 99 was more stable than V-Power!

....Then it appears we have a direct contradiction - You were told face-to-face and I was told on the phone (either Kev or Carl but being back in June I can't remember which). I guess you must have been told by someone at Revo other than Kev or Carl. I'm afraid that this is sometimes how contradictions occur - Neither you or I are to blame.

I got told face to face with kev when he mapped my car for redline magazine that tesco 99 is not a good as v-power because tesco uses to many additves to make the octane raiting higher. :confused:

REVO told me to stick to V-Power if possible with my settings - at GTI International when I bumped in to you having yours done Sean :happy2:

....The 9's are quite 'aggressive' (but safe).

One day when you have £50 spare you should upgrade to Revo Stage2 - Very smooth but good power increase - Very linear.

I really like the fact that the Revo settings can be tweaked. Am planning on an aftermarket high-flow tubular air intake and I can reduce the Boost to avoid potential fuel cuts instead of needing to find an extra zillion squid for an APR fuel pump (no, I don't want the cheaper Autotech pump).

*sorry to chuck this in the middle of the thread*

I'm thinking I want my revo tweaked - who in the North with Knowledge can change my settings for me - I got mine about 2 yrs ago now it was done at Specialist cars at Malton Ben, who has now left the company did at the time.

I have Select only:

My settings are (according to the notes)

Boost/Throttle response: ?

Timing: 4

Air fuel ratio: 9

And I have always used V-Power  :grin:

the settings you can run should take into account the mds you have as well.

ie, Dp +cat only or TBE, what air intake, intercoolers etc.

it might pay to buy a selct + switch as well.

also is it ed 30 or GTI
