REVO Stage 1 Flash

[Epence]

I finally got stage 1 flash! REVO style! Thanks to Eurocode Tuning in Torrance, CA. Great service and manners. I also saw CC U L8TR and romney. They're both great! romney's interior mods are just crazily stunning! Props for both cars!

Initially, REVO didn't even have the file for my ECU code available on their servers. After emails and phone calls exchanged, and the file is ready within a few days after Christmas. Kudos!

I felt the power instantly; the torque pushes you to the back of the seat. The power band is just comparable to APR; if not, greater. To each and their own (in preferences). I'm more of a torque person when it comes to performance. I mean I rode in APR Stage 1 flashed [TSI] vehicles before, previous experience felt the torque didn't pushed me back as much. Maybe due to different seat material....? Again, it's solely my personal opinions. I just decided to go with REVO Technik. Don't bash me, CC U L8TR

I even had my friend rode with me, and his initial reaction was "eff you" lol. That is because he also believes REVO tune produces more torque. He also stated it felt more power than his APR stage 2 GTI...now that statement for me is kinda hard to believe.

Pretty much my car is still stock, stage 1 is what I got so far. I will add a filter soon. For now, I'll drive it for a little while for further adaptation of the mapping. I took the advantage of the REVO sales, 31st is the last day. Eurocode Tuning has already submitted the log to REVO. The SPS switcher will arrive soon.

Again, it is solely my own experience. Definitely REVO ftw! That doesn't mean I don't like APR!

Edit: in terms of MPG, it's pretty much consistent. in the low 30s to mid 30s, that's if smooth sailing, no traffic. ~40 mile-trip back home.

As far as REVO flash, I'm not sure who else in the forums has it on his/her CC.

It's extremely rare that I will give a stranger the keys to my ride. At Eurocode, I trust them and their clients.

Epence, it was nice to finally meet you even though I didn't know it at that moment

Viel Spaß!

mad TORX YOO!!!

No but really, even with APR stg 2, your REV-VO stg 1 felt like it has more torque. Only a dyno will tell truth

[Epence]

eh...no need to dyno, not a dyno person

how much did the tune end up costing with the sale reduction (if you dont mind me asking)

Tune was $499 with the free SPS switch, which will ship soon from REVO HQ. They charged me $100 for labor. Originally $150. because i waited long for them to obtain the file, drove 40 miles back and forth the first time wasted my time. They decided to give me $50 off for the labor.

Nice meeting you too! Hopefully it won't be the last

I may have to check in with my local dealer tomorrow. I have had S1 on many cars with APR and GIAC. I'm wanting to try something new. Still happy??

i'm still happy. You're not going to feel a huge difference compare to other tunes...unless you really care about power gain.

From the other thread i replied:

my friend felt more torque from my CC (REVO stage 1) than his GTI (APR stage 2)

so far i'm happy with REVO tune.

Epence,
Do you know if revo is available for 2013 cc?

not sure, i got my flash last year. Not sure about 2011 or 2012 either, might want to contact REVO?

2013 software is not yet available through our dealer network but may possibly be available by sending the ecu to us in the near future, however we have not decided if we want to release it that way.

I guess I need to check with my dealer. He told me he could flash my '13.

[DallasCC]

Confirmed...no flash available for '13 CC. Oh well, on to some other tuner.

I've had APR now for a little over a month now on my '13....no complaints

That's probably who I will go with on next sale.

this is my first vw, i came from a jdm world but i did manage to get the revo tune stage 1 at waterfest last year and compared to my last car, 2000 eclipse gt v6 supercharged i think it is pretty awesome.

my friend had a 2011 gti and he had apr stage 1 and i think revo is a more agressive tune.
