Revo Settings?

Morning boys. Just a quick one..
Right I have two mates with S3's who have recently had Revo software loaded on their cars. Now one of them has had Stage 1 for about 6 months and after telling him about Stage 2+ and the feedback people have been giving about it, it didn't take him long to get the additional hardware added (Autotech, Dbilas, Milltek TBE) followed by the software.
After going out in it the other night I was definately impressed, but there was a flat spot. I asked him what settings it was set up on and was told B9 T7 F6. So we had a play about with my switch and changed it to B9 T6 F8 and it is now perfect (his comments, not mine  :wink:) and goes like a fooking rocket. What did concern me was he was told he could try settings B9 T9 F9  :surprised:. Now correct me if i'm wrong, but T9??????  :confused:
Also my other mate has just had Stage 1 added to his 09 plate S3 SB and he was set up on B7 T5 F2   :confused: Now I may not be 100% clued up, but should a Stage 1 car be on F2? As every Stage 1 car I have seen before with stock pump has always been on F9. I was led to believe that the lower the fuel setting, the more fuel is requested, hence it's always set up on 9 unless the car has a HPFP.
We have been out this morning in it and we tried B9 T6 F9 and the car felt alot stronger than the B7 T5 F2 it was on (also had a flat spot at about 5k on these settings which went when changed). I know the boost would obviously make it feel stronger due to it being more aggressive, but it just felt better all the way through the revs.
Now I know the guy who has mapped both cars and he is a sound chap, but hasn't been a Revo dealer very long. He took both cars out after mapping them with VAGCOM apparently to set them up bang on, but I can't help but think the settings aren't quite right (especially the fuel) :confused:
What do you boys think? Am I right to be curious, or are these settings the norm with some cars?

Morning Dom. Cheers for the quick reply mate  :happy2:.
Now I don't have VAGCOM and i'm obviously not very clued up on it either. This is the reason I posted as I can't obviously do logs myself and unfortunately are just going off a bum dyno  :grin:. BUT there was definately a flat spot / pulling back on both cars as it wasn't just me that noticed it.
Now I know B9 isn't always the best option, but my mate with the Stage 2+ car has always preferred the B9 setting as he likes the aggressive power delivery, so who am I to argue  :wink: It's just the fuel setting that i'm a bit unsure about as I haven't had the pleasure of sampling Stage 2+ on mine (Yet  :wink:), so don't know the ins and outs about the different setting with the fuelling. I thought that on F6 it would be ok, as like you say, each car is different and was set up properly on VAGCOM so should of been fine. But since going to B9 T6 F8 it has definately made a big improvement (more his thoughts/words than mine) and more importantly there is no flat spot, just nice, smooth power delivery...
My mate is wanting to get his car on the rollers, so ideally it would be good to get him to one of our future RR days and hopefully have one of you VAGCOM junkies have a butchers at it..  :wink:

It was my understanding the fuel setting is like requested AFR, so on stock fuel pump you request as high as possible F9 so the pump delivers as much as it can, as we know it struggles. Then when you change to the HPFP you can set a lower fuel setting because the pump can deliver giving the AFR you want :smiley:

might have it all wrong though :laugh:

In fact I'm in discussion with a guy on Vagoc, Im running B8 T5 F6, hes running B9 T6 F9 who has a very similar spec to mine and he's running higher F setting, when he drops his fuel settings to the same as me his CF's go up, we think the extra fuel maybe cooling things down a bit

Hmmm, not sure about this - people get confused with the way Revo fuel settings work - a higher Revo setting, i.e. fuelling of 8 compared to say six actually makes for a leaner mix.
