I'd say personally on standard ed30/s3 internals you wouldn't want to be looking at more than 400-420 max in my opinion, but I may be wrong. :happy2:

Cant see this as a 500hp daily , was out in Jamie Kips Stg2+ TTRS today at 440BHP and its plenty fast enough for everyday usage. I would venture the 500 figure is a headline figure.....just imagine the area under the curve at 440bhp...

You could dial in the full 500hp for inters and high days and holidays, but keep it reasonable for everyday use...would probably give 40mpg too!

Needs to be said its only recently that the five holer has been putting out these kind of figures....makes you wonder what the plan is for the LO500+........600?

As you've said there dave, the 5holers are 4wd so it isn't an issue. Even 600 if achievable is fine and will be phenomenal so long as they can sort the dsg clutch to deal with it or drop the torque back a bit so to doesn't rip them to bits! :happy2:

I honestly thought that 450bhp would be a great figure to have with this turbo and associated hardware. I didn't even think that 500+bhp would be on the cards  even in development. As has been said, this is a game changer. I also agree that 420bhp with stock internals on an ED30/Cupra/S3 would be fantastic, especially considering the fact that I've driven this car more than once and it still remains tractable on 235 section R888's as it doesn't have the peaky spike of a K04. The redline comes around sooooo fast at the top end on full throttle that the DSG Steve is running on his car (he has a Quaife upgrade, and DSG map, but still stock clutchpacks) almost becomes a godsend in the first three gears.

Although I'm staying stock on my .:R!!  :innocent: :laugh:

Great to see the REVO is in development, 450bhp should be great for everyday use. Torque curve also looks great.   :party:

^^^^^^

I agree, I'd been waiting to see if a Revo file would be made.

At Statllers

Is it a specific Revo file or just a stg 3 file with SPS settings tweaked?

Nice results :happy2:
Was that the tweaked Revo stage 3 file you were on about the other week Steve?

It isn't a stage 3 map. It is a beta file based on a bt Revo file. But I'll let Steve confirm.

looking at this turbo, seems like its well and truly got APRs big turbo kit covered and any other Garrett Turbo based kit. One f the guys on VAGOC, S3Alex, has a GT3071 kit with REVO software and he's only around 480hp!!

So this turbo is GT30 territory which is mighty impressive, even if, assuming its a generous dyno, overreading by 10%, it would still give 450hp!!

Been keeping up with this thread as I am very interested in the developements;....but I can see it being a real headache in a manual car? The DSG is going to be smoothing out the power delivery lovely, but in a manual it is going to be a neck\driveshaft\ conrod snapper at each gear change, as the torque blasts back in!

Not flaming here, just keen to understand if these figures are going to be the domain of DSG boys only.

I read that you were going to do a manual only map, how do you think this would differ from the DSG map.

The manual cars could really do with flat shift writing in! ?:party:

Brilliant progress so far tho boys.

Stevo I pmd you a week or so ago but not sure if I actually pressed send.!
