  1. The remap was 1/2 a day. Have been looking at the stage 3 revo map . Looks awesome
  2. Hello All Just though i would share my experience on the Revo Stage 1 chip i had done at JKM in Portsmouth. Just awesome really. massive change with no downside after 10K miles with Mod. Car has done 20K now. Wish the stock clutch on the manual could handle more power. May consider a clutch upgrade at some point if money allows. The engine has more power in there, as the dyno readout shows. No problems just a general feedback for other. Red line before, black line after.
  3. their lips move :-). I feel a bit nervous about this remap now :-(. So i`m using 99 ron. I`ll report back after another few months and 10,000 miles or so :-)
  4. thanks for the info on CAVE. I will check the plugs at the next opportunity. I always run on Shell Ultima so 98 ron. I didn’t bother doing any alterations to the intake and filter is good. When i bought the car from sparshats in Fareham i spoke about chipping the car, they showed me an option for £1,200 for having it delivered from Skoda on full power, Equivalent to chipping type power they said. He offered me a good deal on a showroom model and i needed a car within a week not months. so i went that way instead. I don’t think i was dreaming, it’s not in the main options you can choose but was definitely an option on their computer. Leon
  5. The car car was mapped from new after 1,000 ish miles and only had problems when you pushed it hard. This would result in engine light flashing and a few engine protection shutdowns. The people at JKM did a full download and print out of all error messages from the car before flashing back to standard, testing and remapping. There was no new engine light flashing or engine protection shutdowns so we did the remapping. The car has now done 36,000 miles since new Dec11 so i believe i have CAVE not CTHE, how do i check which version? I`m fine with warranty i.e. deep pockets. I got a really good deal on the car new but in hindsight wish i had ordered a full power car from the factory. Will learn next time. The error messages on the previous map included 2940 - Turbo Charger Boost system 4054/60/63/57 - missfire on most cylinders 7960 - cylinder disabling
  6. JKM in portsmouth did a re-tuning using a Revo map friday. I`ve owned the car from new and had it chipped by C***** Tuning on my drive. Since then ive had 36 serious engine protection faults, Engine alerts and unsmooth power. The comments were it will get better, not. Full power from 1st to 2nd included a headbutting the steering wheel moment. The car surged constantly and was not fast. After testing the car today I can say without question that the car is smoother, faster and overall acting like a different car. I`m now not scared to engage full power without the threat of some error from the car. The Car is both faster and smoother than anything i could have hoped for. Thanks you JKM and Revo.
