Was your car very cold or warmed up before it went on the rollers?

I have notoced these engines really don't like been left to idle for a long time, I had a mis-fire with my ED30 on 1 of the RR days, the operator questioned wether it had been left to tick over and it had for about 5 mins, when we ran it again it cleared and made good figures.
Not saying this is why you got the figures you did pal but its something to consider in the future

Erm, I know there's a bit of a rolling discussion going on here - but as this is the place for it, I have a Revo question, so just work around me!!

For us vanilla GTI owners, running a DP and soon an intake, what settings would you use on V-power??

I'm currently on 6/9/6 boost/fuel/timing.
Sideways yo!

Seem about right to me mate. But not every car is the same so your best best bet is Vagcom i'd say.. Another thing to think about is now the weather has started to get warmer (or when it does properly anyway) it might be worth knocking the timing down one..  :wink:

What kind of stuff do I want to be looking at in vadgecom and how do I base my settings on my findings?

It'd be ace if someone wrote a rough (non legally binding if you balls it up) guide on the factors to consider and the effect the settings have on X, Y & Z.... or link to the one I've not found yet!
Sideways yo!

From what I remember when we set mine up its the timing pulls(correction factors) are the main consideration, less than 5 is good from what I remember. I'm not that switched on with vagcom so do not know where you would find them.

I agree a how to explaining the principles behind it would be great, I spoke to Carl and Kev at Revo HQ and they explained everything but unless its actually going on in front of me its hard to take in so much information. Maybe worth a call to them I can get you the number if you don't already have it :smiley:

Cheers Gaz,

I've got their number, but I guess I need a basic understanding before I go for the in-depth tech hit.

he chopped it in for a Revo S2 map after he had a "special" TBE made up and the Revo map would utilise it better.

He saw sense basically  :signLOL:

think he's tempted with S2+ now to chase those final few ponies.

Ace, cheers Gaz.

Yep TC, I swapped to Revo for S2. Although S2+ I'm not wholly convinced I need yet for the cost, it's plenty quick enough for my needs without an LSD - and I ain't doing that!!

Nowt against Superchips, I was more than happy with their mapping... but I made the decision to go S2 and with that I wanted the flexibilty to play with settings on the fly, depending on what I'm doing, plus Votex are 10 minutes away for fine tuning.

Superchips were ace about it, they even re-coded the Bluefin allowing me to sell it on to a friend.  :happy2:
Sideways yo!

Good stuff,  :happy2: Quick diversion off topic for a second, do you know off the top of your head how much Votex will charge for first service. I am going to give them a ring tomorrow any ways, just after a heads up.  :drinking:
I might have to go S2 as well  :wink:

Do it, you're wasting that DP by not having it TBH - there's nothing to fear...

I guess you've already called them, but it's cheap as chips anyway  :happy2:

Dom, dunno about MAF readings - I'm sure someone else can help soon though.

Had my 4th service there on Monday and was over 25% cheaper than  VW.

Mike was talking about 2 GTI's today, a white one and a decatted one with miltek.  I'm thinking that it was both you guys above??
