To go Revo ?

[ktlstar]

I had my ED 30 mapped by AMD 2 weeks ago however i got a couple of days left to go back and change to revo
Map. What are peoples views? Amd rollers i got 308hp and 280ftlb from
There own map.  Thanks

excuse my bluntness but wtf would you change from a perfectly good map to REVO.  

Just because the revo cars make the highest figures most of the time, it doesnt mean its the best way of mapping a car.  Far to many people look at pure figures as a method of choosing a map.  I dont look at just the output, i look at everything from figures, reliability, power delivery, longevity, tractability, wear and tear and most importsntly after sales, and for that reason, revo is not on my list of maps

What you have there is a very good map, with very good power/torque curves.  In your position i would stay exactly where you are as that map is very good

If you are looking to go stage 2+ in the future, it would be a viable option. If you are just going to stay stage 1, not much point really

^^^dont listen to Dom, he's got some severe obsession with trying every map on the market because he loves spending money

I've thrown the towel in as a remap tester Got no money left anymore
I've got a shark stage 1 and PDtuning stage 2, thats enough for me now. Will post up dyno results of shark stage 1 remap within the next few weeks as I havent seen any of their stage 1 graphs anywhere
Anyway I advised to stick with what he has

If REVO always make the highest power.. why is mine pulling almost 20bhp less than KTLSTAR?

I find it helps to read the post

In fairness the RR days I've done, AMD maps have been comparable to the revo anyway

I disagree. Most REVO stage ones i have seen are all sub 295bhp

Not on AMDs rollers.

I guess then your comment is more dyno related than map related? I wouldn't go within spitting distance of AMD... but that just a personal gripe.

Lots of people seem to slate AMD's rollers but on Stage 1 you get before and after runs so I don't see the issue... mine made 240 before with an intake and 310 after the remap so to me it doesn't seem that they're that inaccurate considering a standard Ed30 should have 230bhp?

Had me worried that people say amds rollers are very optimistic as last time I called in had a run at 330hp stage 2+ with all the hardware reqd  

Although my mates bam mkII got what was expected so maybe I had a boost hose o ring gone again.

Go revo but wait till the new software comes out

Go revo but wait till the new software comes out 

Think the race file is very aggressive and requires WMI

No it doesnt.....it's not a race file too, stage 1,and stage 2, and stage 2+ are new, being developed on my car as we speak!
