Thought I would chime in here as I have ran both Revo 2+ and also R Tech software. My car is a 2011 DSG S3. Revo performed as it should for me at stage 1, had it mapped at the same time as having the Revo CAI fitted, which I also have no issues with. Revo 2+ was rubbish for me, made 340bhp...

I guess the standard FMIC is holding it back

It's alive!!!!! :icon thumright::audibash:

Are you saying RTechs map isnt a 'proper stage 2+' map....? What proof do you have of this, it's a pretty wild claim!

The only thing I can put it down to Alex is the later model S3s have different DSG software. Maybe Revo never 'cracked' the torque limiter, although this is just an assumption, I have no proof! The lack of torque certainly points to a limiter of some sorts....

In my experience, comparing Revo 2+ along with DSG map to RTech, RTech are streets ahead. Revo 2+ never made the power for me, capping torque at ~310lb/ft. Had the car flashed back to standard map then went to RTech and it made 390lb/ft. Huge difference. In between I did have an uprated...

Had my S3 mapped by RTech, both the DSG and ECU. Superb results, best map I have had on my S3 by far. The torque increase from my previous 2+ map was insane, ~80lb/ft. Had the map a few months now and no issues whatsoever.

Storm developments... I know that name - didnt they do a supercharger for the VR6 back in the mid 90s? And back on topic... looks like things are coming along nicely alex :thumbs up:

Not changing the haldex oil sounds dangerous to me.....

Just trying to share my experience of an 'off the shelf' DSG map vs custom and based on my experience custom is far better, just my 2p :icon thumright: Its not all about the power with a DSG map but also quality of life stuff like custom shift points for an example :)

I have mine mapped fella, just wanted to know what the (AMD?) map did - there are a lot of companies out there mapping DSGs and not able to tell you exactly what they changed. Had mine custom mapped at R Tech and it was at 390lb/ft. Custom map was the best thing I ever did.

Great news, keep us updated on how you find the replacement :)

Your torque figure still seems a bit low, what did the DSG map do exactly?

That move makes no sense IMO. MPG will only be very slightly different and you will take a hit on selling the S3 and buying an A3. Did you not look into MPG before spending lots of £££s on buying an S3?

1) Sell A3 2) Buy RS3 It would cost a FORTUNE to convert an A3 to an RS3 unless you are just talking about doing a look-a-like?
