Shark performance stage 3 results
« on: June 02, 2011, 12:59:40 pm »
I've had a few different remaps on my car since I bought it, the latest and final company is Shark performance. They offer good customer service (I spent 6 hrs there at the weekend getting my remap tweaked, free of charge)
Also, if you are lucky, they quite often do group buys on Briskoda, where you can save £££££'s.
I took the option to get an sts unit with my remap, which was free with the group buy. The unit allows you to swich between maps, stock mode, imoobiliser mode etc, and also can be used as a fault code reader. all from the comfort of your residence, also this means you can just get the map emailed to you if you live too far away from their headquarters.
All the 3 dyno results below are off my car. I though the bluefin was by far the worst of the stage 3 remaps. My car had issues with Revo, CEL light kept coming on, and Revo werent very helpful, and had to get to get a refund.
The benefit of the shark map is the fact that it has very smooth delivery, and also if youre worried about stressing the engine with Revo stage 2+, this is a good compromise. I also achieve good mpg aswell.

Funnily enough your stage 3 Shark graph looks like this stage 3 Bluefin graph.  :laugh:

Because the Revo is a lot stronger.

graph looks nice and smooth and the torque is bang on in the middle of the bluefin and revo which is the ideal scenario. REVO potentially to much for a clutch, bluefin not enough.  Torque curve is very flat as well.  

Cracks me up looking at K04 power curves, your making more power than mine by 3300rpm  :surprised:

it might be but it also caused his car loads of issues which is why he swapped, so more power/torque isnt everything.

But stronger is not always better. Power is nothing without control. :innocent:

My REVO map throws up a CEL every couple of weeks, claiming mixture too rich (which it is.)

I have to keep a closer eye on it than I would like.... I'm pleased Statllers are now REVO dealers, coz I'm hoping they can sort the f***ing thing!!

Aye it seems Revo are a bit hit and miss. I hope the OP is now happy with this map and did you run octane booster for the Dyno again?

That was the fault code that I had aswell! Good luck with that then. It was every 30 miles or so for me before it returned.

No octane booster this time. Wasted money last time, wasn't going to do it again. If anything there was a little bit of 97 octane in the tank!

Ah great.

The funny thing is, I don't think Hurdy had that problem (and I run the same settings on the same car, just a different fuel pump, I/C and Intake) so perhaps it IS a problem with something that goes with the map.

I'd guess the map is still at least partially to blame, just maybe not entirely.

I have spoken to Ben about a map for mine too as he obviously knows you had the same problem as he saw when he VCDS'd my car.

'Mixture too rich' is what's reported. Can't remember the number though.

Are you considering moving away from REVO then?
