Stage 1 Revo

[Dub-Jon]

Hi guys got my car booked in for a stage 1 map.  Whilst the 20% offer is still on.     Can I really b expecting to get around 60bhp extra from a standard engine?

No, not even with a high-flow performance exhaust system and intake.

I assume you are applying this to a 197 bhp Mk5 K03 turbo'd GTI. Expect about 240 bhp. Tuners like to big up their figures but I suppose they might be forgiven because of the lottery of rolling-road results.

Would there be a great difference between REVO dealers in the results that are acheived by a Stage 1 map (ed30 - k04 car)?  Or and you better off/safer to go to a particular revo supplier?

the power will be the same as the map is the same, all the dealer will change is the boost/timing/fuel settings which can only go so high on a standard car.


OP - Dont worry too much about peak figures, a stage 1 map on the gti transforms the car and you wont care about numbers when your foot is flat.

On my k04 edition30 , the standard set up is 230bhp , on the rolling road after the stage 1 map it made 285 bhp. But as Robin said on a k03 the gains will be less

....Exactly 

The numbers are to some extent academic. what's more important is the car's driveability and the extra performance you can feel is on tap when you want it.
