what is this? some dude in my city did a dyno on his GTI and had 213. something HP
That was me, I don't know where u heard it from . Basically revo is a reflash of ur currenty ecu maps with the one from revo that is fully adjustable to tune timing, fuel and boost, unlike apr or giac which just throw a map at the car.2k6Tornado_Red_MK5 said:what is this? some dude in my city did a dyno on his GTI and had 213. something HP

That was dynoed on a dynojet as well, on a very conservative tune. I like to set and forget about it for awhile till I get more modifications. It was 213whp/261wtq.
I was revo'd by wolf harvey @ www.hwpartstuning.com
Tell him I sent ya.

i love it, and since u can tune it to what u like, you can have it the way you want it.MHS216 said:Alf, how do you like the ReVO? I pretty much have no choice in what chip to buy unless I want to drive 8 hours to Chicago. There is a ReVO dealer about 15 minutes from me so I guess thats what it will be.
Is it clearly a feeling that you notice, and is there any loss of oomph now low in the RPM. Thanks for the help.
alf said:if you dont feel like buying, have him give u the 6 hour trial before u buy
alf
yeap, along with APR, they have the same trial time, if they tell you other wise, they are lying.McPsycho V said:you can try it out? that's so flipping awesome!

i know what your talking about, like if its hesitating? i get that sometimes, but when i need the power it delivers. it all depends on how good the map is, if there isnt enough fuel, or if there is too much fuel the car can act a bit funny.McPsycho V said:well wtf! i've got the apr chip and was never told about the trial offer. i would've proabaly bought it anyways so no biggy i guess.
oh and alf, i was just wondering, do you feel that the power of the chip is consistent every time you're driving? like with my apr, it feels like sometimes the car doesnt pull as hard as other times. :iono:
the GIAC is 265 HP at the crank, i doubt that with JUST a chip you can get 265WHP. im sure other tuners such as APR and REVO have just as good numbers, its all about personal preference in the end.Wild Hare said:GIAC is 265 total HP and the "Hammer" version ass quick out of the hole!
