went Revo stg 2+ today

As the title says, following the fitting of the APR HPFP on Friday, I took a visit to Votex at Congleton and had the stg 2+ plus code added to the car.
Very impressed with the service at Votex, a guy called Mike did the software update, he was very friendly and knowledgeable and once he new I was quite interested in the technical side of stuff talked me through everything. He did say he new TC and Mr Danza when I mentioned them

The upgrade is very impressive and I can only describe the power delivery as effortless and really eager. I thought it would be quite aggressive, but its very smooth and just keeps pulling effortlessly, you really need to keep a check on the speedo
Best I get saving for the clutch, brake upgrade and tyres

Nice one Gaz Whats next after the clutch.

Keep toying with the idea of switching to Revo 2+ from Apr. Interested in how differentit is. Will have a reationship with Revo then for future custom mapping wen I eventually go big turbo too.

nice one , they say the stage 2+ is more linear and 'feels' much OE like but oddly slower (even though its faster)

What kind of power figures would you guestimate your running now Gaz?

gazbutS3 · August 17, 2009, 10:08:20 PM

would be hard to say pal, I'm running stock engine cover so won't get the full benefits like some of the lads running aftermarket intakes, some of them have seen over 350bhp but then again the dyno lottery comes in to play. I would like to think a genuine 330+bhp

certainly feels like it

JPC · August 17, 2009, 10:14:16 PM

It was that 330 mark I was expecting, fair does I bet your pretty happy with that

You just simply cannot ignore the lure of the slippery slope Gaz

What is next on the ~~slope~~ agenda?

gazbutS3 · August 18, 2009, 02:51:48 PM

Just ordered the D version DV valve just to make sure, then like I said, we'll have to see how the clutch holds out

just had a spin in a ibis s3 sportback that had gone stage 2+, really impressed, the delivery is so smooth and linked with the grip an awsome point to point car

I was speaking to Mike yesterday and he mentioned you'd been in, said it had taken the upgrade really well and felt superb. Few days of adaptation and that new D valve.... phwoah!
