[QUOTE=Slickline,Nov 21 2008, 10:15 AM]Fair enough, I will have to check but i think revo's sps switch stores the original map a la bluefin for use when it goes in for servicing, etc and has the 'tweaked' map

Slickline

Thanks.....thats cleared that up a bit, you've obviously done a bit more research than me

I'm taking my S3 in for a remap tomorrow.

Decided to go for Revo, I havent heard anyone say a bad thing about them, and they seem to give consistently good power with no issues.

Superchips doesnt appear very good for the s3, although I like the way the bluefin works. And GIAC seems to have given too many people issues with misfires ,although there are people who have been fine.

John57

Don't quite know why but SC just doesn't seem to do as well with the S3 as other cars ....

Where are you having the Revo done - are you getting it RR'd at the same time for before and after figures ?

Johns999

Having it done at Prosport in stockport, not too bothered about having it RR'd, as long as it feels substantially faster I'll be happy, plus I imagine it'll just show the same gains as every other revo'd s3, they seem pretty consistent, ie going from anywhere between 280 and 290 as standard to 310 to 320 with the map.

Having said that, if they have the time I might ask for a before and after run, but I imagine I'd have to pay for it.

John57

I only got a before and after RR print because I was worried the map would not perform as they said after reading of a couple of people who had issues with under performance and poor running.

After emailing them with my concerns they offered to load the map, check and RR for the price of the map alone to allay my fears ... which I thought was pretty good customer service.

If I went with Revo - or indeed APR - I was not going to get the car put on the rollers. I think you are right, nearly all the S3's are putting out the same when Revo'd so it would probably be a waste of money. I am sure you will feel it is going OK

Johns999

had the revo remap this afternoon, didnt get a rr run done, but it feels a lot torquier, the best way i can describe it is that each gear now feels like a gear lower. seems worthwhile so far, but cant comment on any long term issues yet.

How much do they charge in stockport for a dyno run?

John57

Glad it feels better - you are starting with quite a bit more power than I did so any changes because of that and the 4wd will be less dramatic
If set up well by a dealer as I'm sure it has given who did it there shouldn't be any long term issues ..... just make sure it's warmed up before giving it some


FWIW I have added the rolling road graph for my car from Superchips to my earlier post

Johns999

Moggy, I dont know what they would charge for a dyno run, I guess around
