For 98 octane the default setting is B6 T5 F9.

....

I'm not saying don't get a SelectPlus but I wouldn't "experiment" with the settings without being absolutely sure what you are doing. Every individual car is different and it also depends which other performance mods you have.

Read the manual and just be careful not to go too silly - especially with the timing in hotter weather.

The levels you can adjust to are all with the cars limits as long as you know what you are doing.

Plus definately worth it

^^^ Every car is different and will react differently to the settings, so I would not recommend possibly copying another members settings. Although, sure similar principles will apply, so you can take their advice.

I would seek the advice of your tuner. If you feel the need to change the settings, then have a word with them. They should have datalogged your car in the first place to set it up with the correct settings, so they should have an idea regarding what a change would do to the car.

But as people have said, ideally you would want VCDS whenever you want to make a change.

Others can give you an idea of what is 'best' but if you then wanted to play further than this you have to take other things into consideration - mods/ambient temp/weather etc and VCDS comes into play.

I think the default settings were 549 or 449, and the 98RON default was 659 ( I think).  From experience most cars running 98/99RON are ok running upto timing 6, occasionally 7 (but loggin advised just to check, or dont run it for long).  Boost you can generally run what you like but they do work better altered together in most cases.

....Do you really think it's wise to adjust your settings because of what some guy on an internet car forum advised or suggested?

For example, a F9 setting might be better for one car but not for another. It's a complicated balance best left to experts like Revo themselves or their better agents unless you're a pro tuner yourself like Nick of R-Tech.

There are likely to be long term effects if you get it wrong. You don't want to run long term with fuelling too rich or too lean for example. The ECU may protect to some degree but it all has knock-on effects.

The switch is merely a convenience. For example, after a session on JKM's dyno and their study of data later, they might phone to advise me to change a setting without me needing to drive 2 hrs to visit.

.... x 2 - Exactly!

Certainly listen to what others have to say but don't rely on their settings - Consult your tuner.

When running a modded car VCDS should be on the purchase list anyway.

The Select Plus is a bargain at that price.

....Pointless unless you know what you are doing - You do, I'm led to believe - I don't.

Quite a few people are wannabe tuners and fancy they know but don't really know enough. You appear to know a lot more than most other non-professionals and I, for one, will always listen to your advice. However...

I run a modded car and have no use for VCDS for my own use. I would rather buy you a beer (or whatever) to change my lighting settings or similar via VCDS but I wouldn't let you near my tuning settings even though you have much valuable knowledge. Unless of course you were a Revo or JKM employee.

Well so long as you have deep enough pockets to cover your words of wisdom that is fine.  Most don't and they like to know what their car is doing.

When people don't have VCDS and run a modded car is when you get random posts like my CEL came on what is it??
