Stock cars are not really a great benchmark to work from as they vary massively..

That has been proved on RR days before, stock cars making massively different torque and power figures..

I think the DD rollers under read too.. Just based on my car having 350bhp and what it can do etc and how it feels.. I know I have weight out of it but its hardly a light car and up to now nothing this side of a 997 GT2 has pulled on it, and even that wasn't a piss take.. Not bad for 350hp lol..

Shame I couldnt make it to the Superchips day, would have been a really good comparison to the DD rollers day..

Either way, generally speaking like for like mods, Revo makes the most power and torque..

Bugger!!

I knew you were going to say that.......where's my wallet :sad1:

Get it done at GTI International..

Do a run with CC software, then see how much faster you go with Revo!  :happy2:

That is a top idea :happy2: :jumping:

Direct comparison FTW :happy2:

I wonder what JBS would say if they spotted me chopping from their map to REVO's  :grin:

How much is it again for the stage 2+ and the handheld?

Yep, completely agree with you. I did a lot of research before getting my map, and I found exactly the same. Revo tended to be a good 3-5% higher on average than others  :smiley:

REVO were doing deals at last years Inters, mainly because the Custom Code boys were, I think, but it was mighty cheap.

Some good stuff going on here guys. got the full milltek fitted at the weekend and the car is feeling as flat as a midgies tit so cant wait till the stg2 gets dropped on. was talking to jim at star performnce and he was talking about the HPFP. he has been fitting the uprated internals which seem to be a good bit cheaper than the new pumps. is there any advantage to getting the new pump over an internal swap?
Ended up going with the non res milltek and am glad i did as its fine on the motorway at cruise and really only starts shouting when you full on the loud pedal.
I hope to get the new software on the car this week everyhting going to plan.

Do remember that the new software will need an adaption period to show you its full potential...   :smiley:

@jonnyc : have you got a dyno plot from the DD run you can share ? be good to see the shape  :happy2:
                 did you run with the Toyos on that day?
                 out of interest do you have a before (i.e. std) dyno plot way back in the day.
                 
@ SteveP : which HPFP you running then ?

in general I would agree DD rollers are pessimistic (in comparison to all other rollers) but very reproducible.
(I would however say Im not entirely convinced about DSG vs Manual readings on any RRoads)

Given that most mapping companies will quite happily flash your software back on , then some comparitive tests dont sound too bad an idea ... (the only downside I see is having to flash to stock each time and the flash counter being incremented as you go between diff vendor maps (SC aside I believe))

nope..... it's just because we're nice..... ;-) hence we do deals at most shows.

@Hurdy- it'd be worth taking Jonny's advice and coming over and seeing us :)

@Steve- Glad to hear you're happy mate!
