it actually bemuses the hell out of me how a potential R8 owner would be driving a Seat at the mo anyway but hey ho life is full of surprises!!!  tis certainly one impressive form of upgrade so go for it if you can I'd say.  :happy2:

Well i think if you've done all the h/w chekcs you can think of that can cause the flat spot, and there's nowt left but the s/w, then logic would say try some different s/w then!  

seems logical to me. If its causing u that much of an issue that u need to air it everyday, then rather than getting annoyed over i'd resolve it. eg change cars, change maps, revert it to its previous state when it didn't have a prob, whatever. If something doesn't do what I want it to do to a satisfactory level, I'd simply get something else that hopefully does.

Actually I'm not defending Revo at all. Revo can defend themselves. They've already stated their position - its not S/W related.
Maybe you need to do something along the lines of what JKM did for Illyun, which was to disect his engine checking loads of bits. There's a long old thread on here about it somewhere.

Anybody using Jabbasport software on the forum?

don't think so. Spoke to Jams H before he left JS that they were looking for guinea pigs to develop their 2.0T FSI map with. But not heard much about it since then and it was a long while ago now.

You thinking of using them or already with them?

Well the way im going about is that Im going to give it till may to try and sort the car by dropping it off to JKM or APS at some point. If its not sorted by then, I will be 21 at which point I can insure group 20 cars at more reasonable premiums seeing as im a Londoner. The k1 is costing me £3400 as it is, and was only ever meant as a stop gap car, but I have fallen head over heels for it and am struggling to think of what to replace it with that will be suitable for the things I get up to.

Have read Illyun thread and he wasnt too impressed with revo either, BUT, in that instance I could see revos position as that was clearly a hardware fault. But with 10 stage 2 plus cars with all the same issue, it most likely is a hardware fault, but due to the amount of affected cars it is in their interest to try and figure out why its happening to keep customers happy and threads like this off the internet.



RE: Jabbasport.

There is a cupra over on SCN who is using them and their map is very good, just as quick as a revo car stage 1.

you forget tho, Revo are MAPPERS, not h/w technical specialist. That's when you need people like AmD / APS / JKM and their dedicated know how of the 2.0T FSI motor to quickly distinguish which bit of H/W would most like to cause that a misfire.

£3400 a year to insure the K1  :surprised: you done a quote on the R8 then? I thought i was getting ripped off paying £1600 for a brand new STI at 25.  Audi R8 at 21 years of age....fair play is all i can say.

I am fairly local to Jabbasport and use them for servicing ect, but I've not heard much about their TFSI maps on here.
I had an Ibiza Cupra 1.8T running one of their maps and never had any problems so thinking about using them again for my Octy TFSI.

I can appreciate that revo are mappers, but they are selling software that is potentially not compatable with every 2.0TFSI out there. I mean whats the chnaces of all the stage 2 plus cars having a hardware failure? If my car was the only one affected, or there were only 2 or 3 cars with the issue, I wouldnt be expecting any input from revo about it at all. But when its 10+?

R8 at 21 would be 3 grand, same for Evo x fq360. New M3 and lotus exige 2100, TT-RS 1800, K1 will drop to 1200.
Poverty,

Thanks for that, will have a look on SCN


Have a look in the jabbasport section.  :happy2:

they are well commended when it comes to the 1.8T engines, and have built some huge output engines there. they are also very experienced with the likes of water meth as well
