well i have been mulling it over for a while and these 2 have more benefits for me but i really wanted to be able to drop the power for the misses! so the valet file has kinda won it over for me have booked it to Regal on friday so lets hope its good! :happy2:
-
Was APR not in the running as well, especially with there current deal?
I thought they did a 'valet' option and its switchable via the cruise stalk.
-
With the SPS+ controller you can have this function too :wink:

i havent got cruise tho and didnt want to spend the 150 on it as i dont think it would be used..
didnt think revo did a valet only a kill.
oh god i thought i researched this properly!! :ashamed:
-

-

Thats why you need this one. You can program it yourself.

is it easy enough for a numpty like me to do that hedge?? and with the select plus its 700 squid :confused:

The Select Plus probably does not need you to have the PC if you can get someone to preload custom settings ABC! Once they are there, that's it!
-
REVO / GIAC / APR are all good choices.
APR would be good if you dont plan to play with settings. Cruise I wanted and the toggling of maps is easy and self contained thru the stalk. depends how much you'll actually be doing it!
(as is REVO with SELECT PLUS tbh)

No worries! - I am sure that there are plenty of people on here fairly local to you that can help with a PC/Select Plus. I can't remember how far you are from me?

Not far away at all then (30 mins) - always help to help if need be. Out of interest, what Revo dealer are you using?
-

Just be aware that the ecu will need some miles to re-adapt after changing maps. :smiley:

Going for some more APR therapy at Awesome on Thursday John.
KW Clubsports will be fitted then too.
Think I better start a small build thread and get the photo's uploaded. Will take some pics on Thursday.
I certainly use cruise quite a bit especially handy on the motorway through spedd restrictions or on nice relaxed long journeys.

FYI everyone..... boost 0 is valet mode on our software :)

excellent, thanks for confirming that carl, as i spoke to keith about it the other day at JKM and he thought it might just be stock setting. so would that mean there is a restriction on the power meaning its lower than standard? what sort of power would it be?? its not a speed limiter is it?
-
I hope Carl doesn't mind but this is the user guide for the Select Plus. See page 7. Stock is Boost 1.

ah yes page 7, thanks hedge :happy2:

....And also that every time your battery gets disconnected, your Revo map will revert to stock. No problem though - You just load your Performance map back on.
-
why does it do that?

why does it do that?
....As a safeguard.

I can't see why that would be a safe guard :confused:
Seams to me it's like the Performance settings are stored in some form of flash memory that isn't kept if the battery is disconnected for a while :fighting2:
-
....
As I understand it, it safeguards your Performance settings but Carl would be able to explain it better. A battery disconnection resets the ECU (or something like that).
-
really happy with it so far done about hundred miles but takes 200 apparently for ECU to adapt and i put the VWR panel filter in yesterday aswell and it seems good :laugh:
only problem is ive lost the peice of paper with the settings written think it was boost 5 timing 7 feul 9 but cant remember! lost the invoice aswell ah well less evidence lol :happy2:
just need to save up for a TBE now :party:
-
To be fair, while I have my gripes with Revo's customer service and support, I have been using the SPS Switch anti-theft feature everyday while working in Amsterdam and it works like a dream...
