Who's gonna spend that kind of money on a turbo without all the questions being answered though??  :confused:

The hype has become boring.  If there were more people testing the setup on different dynos it would quickly become clear if people thought is was value for money and if there are any issues with the setup

REVO, for starters a stage 4 map until they have time to fit their LO04XX and properly map it in. We plan to add an Eboost2 also

EBoost2?

Presumably a manual boost controller?

I like your style Danish, just do it with no drama, singing or dancing about it.

I've been considering an e boost 2 but how does it work with the Revo?

The Eboost2 works very well with Revo. So easy to use and set up. Amazing piece of kit. Looking forward to this stage of the project. Cheers, Stevie.  :happy2:

 :happy2: Brian @ BNAutoteknik has had good experiences with the eboost on a cupraengined  leon running atp 2871, a leon with rebuilt internals and K04 and a Cupra with the CTS gtx3071R so i will give it a go also. All 3 are running REVO BTW  :smiley:

NEWSFLASH!!

Next faze for the Loba car is a fully built motor, (this will be the motor that will eventually go in our 4WD car)
& a stand alone EGT / AFR kit so everyone can see the data @ different boost pressures once & for all

If you want  big power with the associated lag then go for a big turbo! (I am on one of our sprint cars that's for sure!)
For a good fast road car the 4XX is unbeatable its very very strong at the top even using the stock N75 never mind an EBC
If you want more power than a stock K04 with more flexibility than a Garrett then go for a 4XX it's great inbetween option

Best thing for all to do now is let the cars do the talking, there are lots of excellent tuners on here so lets crack on it'll be good spirited fun!!   :evilgrin:

Steve did you use the VF intake when on Revo software?
Is it possible to run different intakes (and MAF diameters) with the Revo SW.
Presumably the GIAC map is written for VF Intake only?

No I had to use an ITG which carries over the stock size Afm housing for the Revo flash,
 I always have a few intakes in to test so its no problem to keep swapping them over
Revo sent me another flash to try next week, I'll post the data up along with the EGT readings :wink:

Revo won't recalibrate the flash for a bigger AFM housing at this level
