The twat took ages putting it back to "normal" despite telling me it would be a 5 min job at the start of my conversation, after it got ugly he grudgingly took the car and it came back to me after 20 mins! I think the settings have been messed with or something, boy I would love to be able to prove it.......probably will just take to VW for a reflash to the latest version of the ecu.

Anyone near you with a select plus switch+ laptop as with it/them you can find out if the map is actually still on and what settings it's using.

I'm in Glasgow don't really know of anyone local or with sps switch.

Who is the dealer?  Name and shame please 

[no golf clubs at all]

I will gladly name but until I can prove I have been done over I won't shame,Drivers Glasgow. I could see their pov but they were shifty with me, I saw red and decided I wanted the sw off. They actually have quite a good name locally shame we didn't see eye to eye :-) they would have had about £1500 out of me in the past 6months!!!

I'm feeling the urge to turn up my boost a little, so as I made the foolish decision of only buying the Select switch (i dont know why), I was wondering if anyone quite local to me had a Plus, so that I could quickly put my boost up one notch! I know I've given broad counties in the topic title, but maybe someone will be close to me!

Muchos Gracias! 

Chris.

Can't help due to location but what settings are you presently using?

[WhiteGTI]

No need for a switch now...I found a compay that were a Revo dealer that changed it for me for free!

Well, here comes the complicated part.

JKM set my revo at Boost 6, Timing 5, Fuel 8. I bought a Select switch about a month after I bought the remap, which was programmed and came direct from Revo UK with what should have been the same settings as JKM programmed.

I used the Select switch back in January when the car went in for a service.

Plugged the laptop into the car today, and the setting were Boost 7, Timing 5, Fuel 9!!!! So Revo UK must have fudged things up on the switch settings.

So, I kept the settings that were now on it and changed the Timing to 6 just to experiment really! Doesn't really feel too different to be honest!

....

NO!! Fuel should be 9 on the 2.0T FSI. I had the reasons explained but can't remember exactly! (too much sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll several decades ago!)

Give Carl or Kev a call at Revo HQ, or Keith at JKM if you use them, and one of them know exactly what they're doing and I'm sure will willingly advise you.

[WhiteGTI]

Hi Robin,

Keith at JKM originally set the fuel to 8, as that was where he was happy for it to be. He said that running it at 9 makes it too lean for his liking.

However, you are right in that Revo are adamant that 9 is the right setting. I simply don't know who to believe.

I haven't changed the Fuel setting since my select switch changed it. I am now currently running

Boost 7
Timing 6
Fuel 9

Considering that my last rolling road was on Boost 6, Timing 5, Fuel 8, it will be interesting to see how the figures change on March 7th!

^^^^
Ah, then you have conflicting info and a dilemma. I'm running F9 and have much respect for both Keith and Revo HQ so I'm inclined to ask them some questions myself too.

I'm currently B6/T5/F9.

IMO you'll see no difference in your peak hp upping your boost from 6 to 7.

You need to be careful if your run B7 and above with F8 on a car without an uprated hpfp as you are entering fuel cut territory.

[WhiteGTI]

Hi Bacillus,

Thanks for your reply.

In your opinion, what timing should I run with Boost 7? I have been running it for the last two months and have had no fuel cut yet. Do you think I should have kept the timing at 5, or is 6 ok?

Many thanks,
Chris.

....A question I've always forgotten to ask: Are these numeric values common to all tuner's remaps and stock ECU or only specific to Revo?

Okay, so if the peak hp doesn't increase when B7 from B6, doesn't the power delivery increase in the mid-range?

And is torque increased when B7 from B6? I actually don't want to increase my torque because I'm DSG and running about 300 ft lb / 400 Nm already.

Timing @6 should be ok when using V-power or other 99RON fuel. T@5 is Revo's default for the aforementioned fuels.

Notice I say should as the only way to tell is to log the car and see what your correction factors(CFs on block 020 when using vcds). Revo would like the CF on all cylinders to be -3 or less but in practice you usually see a "rogue" cylinder with spikes of higher values. The highest value I accept as being ok on such cylinders is -5.

In your case I would really also want to log the requested and actual fuel pressure to make sure you are not getting minor fuel cuts (these may go unnoticed)  if you want F@8.

Sorry to be so technical but high CFs on a car will make the power delivery sub-optimal and even lead to a final lower hp output.
