upgrade to REVO stage 3 - Octavia 2 RS TFSI

[RedRobin]

Good solid info but what car is this on? GTI? Ed30? Cupra? Octavia?

Would be helpful for readers to know straightaway - I just spotted it in tiny print on the graph image.

says in my sig   O2 RS TFSI

....Okay but I'm sure I'm not the only one who doesn't or didn't know what an "O2 RS" is. I still don't know what it stands for. Am just trying to help you.

What I like abt the revo soft (besides the power) is that turbo comes in a bit faster now, abt 2500 rpm, it's just a pleasure for a DD in town.

The sad thing is that I may not be able to install a Forge twintercooler in time before I go to Nurburgring. JKM just told me yesterday it takes 3-4 weeks until Forge produces it and I leave on 27th. Just wondering how come Forge does not have some  small stock of these items, especially since they are quite unique on the market.

Since it looks like I may install this next month now I am also considering a BSH intercooler. BSH told me it will fit Octavia , but I need to fabricate some quote : "you will need to run a V section to the S3 intercooler". For sure BSH is more powerfull than the Forge since is made to run by itself and not to attach the existing intercooler, but I am not very sure that I can do here this fabrication or not...

PS: Robin O2 RS comes from Octavia 2 RS - there was no more space in my sig, that's the best I could come up with

I've lost the plot mate. I've split up with my girlfriend and i'm selling my house so will be mortgage free soon ! Hence wanting to spend 27k on a car 

But ive put a lot of money into mine and feel I would be daft selling so soon .. Getting revo 2+ on monday hopefully that will keep me interested untill the house is sold, and be right for the ring next month   

im sure you will love the revo, all though when we were both at stage 2 there was nothing in it. its one of those things it seems a few people get fed up with superchips once they tune further maybe because revo are dedicated VAG tuners. some of the figures ive seen from greenouses car make me wonder though as it seems very strong but i initially chose revo for a number of factors that they didnt offer.

....I'm really sorry if I'm sounding pedantic and understand the need for abbreviation in your sig. My point is this:

Someone, anybody and not necessarily a member, visits and starts to read your great review but until they read and study the very small print at the foot of the dyno plot, they can't tell which car platform is being discussed.

Otherwise they don't see anything else on this question until your sig and that's abbreviated anyway (no problem with that).

Therefore I would only respectfully suggest it's made clear very early on in your main text of review, even in a title.

I found myself wondering which car your remap upgrade was being applied to, hence my suggestion. Of course you can tell me to feck off    

[Bogdanbd]

OK sir now everybody should clearly understand what car it is

It felt good on stage 2, but no better on stage 3 really. I'll give it a go

Had 2+ installed today ' awesome, worth every penny !!

so what differences have you noticed chris changing from blufin stage 3 to revo stage 2+?

[Aparoon]

They're not even in the same league ! I hated driving the car with the bf stage 3 on it felt sh*t and I almost sold it. I love it to bits now, its soo fast and just better to drive! Although I managed 160miles to £40 of fuel

Ha ha, Mike told me it went very well indeed today whilst I was down there, Chris. Should go well next month!!

[Aparoon]

He's a nice bloke! I meant to give him a call and let him know what I think of it but haven't had chance ...

He put the settings at B9 T5 F6, he said that this was what he found to be the best setup ? Does that sound about right, I wouldn't know where to start with all this and assumed that he knows best 

[PDT]

thats a 'normal' setting for stage2+

I assume these settings were reached once the car had been datalogged? If not I would do so, I did a GTi with Revo stage2+ today and with T5 I was seeing high ignition pull, T3 it was happier (but it did have a 50/50 mix of Vpower and cheapo fuel)

[Aparoon]

Yeah he went for a run with vagcom plugged in? So is it making the best power at these settings or is there more to come, or does the usability get compromised with different settings 

[tony_danza]

Get in touch with him Chris, he's always happy to refine or tailor to your needs - but that sounds fine as a base setting, it's what mine's at. You might get a bit more if you're prepared to put the time into logging different settings, ensuring you've got the best 99 fuel for instance might let you play with the timing.

Yeah, PDT, he always spends a long time logging and checking.  

I know what you mean about fuel too, mine doesn't like 98... never mind cooking fuel.
