Honestly? for a stage 1 I'm totally blown away, not just by the map, but by the service as a whole.
When I arrived at R-tech, the guys did a very thorough check over the car before mapping, including smoke testing the whole boost system, this uncovered 2 leaks, one in a slightly split vacuum hose to the N249, and one split in the pcv system, although this was after the check valve, so wouldn't loose boost.
Nick ran teh car on the dyno, and it made 156bhp/158lbft, and he said it felt a bit flat, when he read the map currently on the car, it had on the bottom line ''copyright 2003 REVO technik- the car had had a free trial at some point in the past!..
It turns out Revo had somehow partially locked the ECU, and it took nick about 2 1/2 hours to get into it and load a standard audi AUM map onto the ECU, with this done, the car made 159bhp and 165lbft- more than the revo 'stock' map - ********.
Nick then loaded the R-tech spec 1 gen 4 map onto my car, and included an o2 delete so I can decat it in future without an EML (he did the o2 delete for free).
he ran the car on the dyno, and it made 192bhp/218 lbft. he wasn't happy with it all, and after a bit more testing, he found it was the N249 vac lines causing it to loose boost as the top end, and stopping the turbo from giving it's peak spike to make the 230lbft he claims, it was late in the day, having spent hours trying to crack the ECU, and he had other customers waiting by this time, so I was more than happy to take the car away fix the issues myself, rather than taking more of Nicks time.
Despite the issues, on the road the car felt brilliant, and definitely felt like it got stronger on the way home.
This morning I've been and replaced every single vacuum line, and bypassed the N249 valve, and now it feels REALLY quick, VAGCOM reckons it's 212bhp now
it's got a really nice kick low down, and pulls like a train all the way to 6k.
I'd say it's not far off my old KO3S AGU at all, very impressed for a stage 1
