Dyno Comparison , Revo Vs Unitronic Chipped

[Rick20vt]

Hi Guys, i just wanna share my experience with this 2 brands of Software for our cars..... i just want to be clear , for me Unitronic, Revo, Apr are the best of the best in Sofwtare Tuning for our cars, at least here in Mexico with our crappy 92 oct fuel.....

Yesterday i took my S3 8p 2008 to the dinamometer, here in town we dont have an AWD Dyno, so we disconnected the Haldex module and the result was a FWD s3 8p haha....

We did different test and logs with Vagcom of the block 020 which shows Timing ****** values....

My car is completely STOCK in engine hardware.

Here are the most important runs:

Stock power : With 0 timing ******

266.6 whp & 283 pounds of torque

​

Revo Stage 1 with Boost 6 Timing 5 and AFR 9 (SPS switch): With almost none timing ****** (perfect setting)

301.1 whp & 307.3 pounds of torque

Unitronic Stage 1+ software as is (doesnt have a switch): With almost none timing ****** (great software)

303.1 whp & 333.7 pounds of Torque

Then the Revo dealer wasnt satisfied with those results and started to play with another settings and we did a lot more runs, but the one that matched Unitronic Gains was this:

Revo Stage 1 , Boost 9, Timing 7 , Afr 3. With this setting the block 020 in vagcom showed up around 7 degrees of timing ****** which in my personal opinion is not safe for the street with that crappy 92 oct fuel, What u think?

Here's the video:

With all this tests i could conclude that i have the right software in my car generating great WHP and Torque without stressing my engine....

What u think?? I'm not trying to fight or create a discussion about tuning softwares, i only wanted to share this so u can see the big difference that makes this Tuning Softwares to our cars!!

7 degrees is a lot. I'd turn the timing setting a bit lower, but the car will smooth out eventually after the adaptation. Part of these 7 degrees is due to the hot climate during the summer too.

However, without wanting to insult anyone, I think the wheel figures are a bit optimistic for a car with only a remap. Just my opinion though.

Oh and I forgot to mention, it is sometimes normal to see ******* on the dyno that you will not have on the street. The engine doesn't have as much available airflow on the dyno.
