I've been looking at all the tuners...and came across REVO...but there is very little information available on them..especially when it comes to tuning a 996TT.

I know they're a european entity...but has anyone used them on a TT and if so, what's the verdict?

No Kevin....I haven't forgotten or forsaken you.

 

REVO is a very reputable brand amongst the Audi/VW crowd and along with APR, has started to peek it's head into the Porsche market.

I've got a contact that works for REVO that I could put you in touch with if you do have any questions, etc.

Regards,

 

Actually, I've notice that...and I started inquiring into their product line and found that there was very little information out there. I do know that they have a "five hour/30 day tryout" on their install...which is five hours on a Hobbs meter, which means the time only runs when the engine runs. That is really a pretty different approach when compared to the other tuners...try it and see if you like it. Sort of a novel approach huh? At the end of the five hours it times out...and you either come back and buy it or drive off into the sunset. The main drawback is that I cant' find anyone who really knows about it...so Trevor, if you wouldn't mind, would you PM me with the contact information? I need someone with technical knowledge of the product, not a sales pitch.

 

I had it on my A4 1.8T Quattro. never had an issue, performance seemed a bit stronger than some of the other programs I looked at/tried. very happy with it overall. if their P car program is anywhere as good as their Audi ones, then I would say you can't go wrong. of course, once of my decision factors was their was a local dealer for Revo, where as I would have had to drive to nashville for GIAC or down to Alabama for APR.

 

How much does Revo charge to flash a 996TT?

 

A lot of guys in the UK use REVO, and one of their main dealers here is DMS (I can put you in touch with Rob there if you want). Don't know much about the numbers, but a 996TT Cab S threw down a 194mph at Vmax last year with just a Revo flash and exhaust, so it makes pretty good power. You can tune boost and AFR yourself via laptop plugged into the OBD2 port, which is also nice for more advanced users.

 

I have a Revo Flash only for my 2005 Turbo S Cab and the car performes very well. I like it becuase it gives you the ability to vary the boost and timing to different conditions via a lap top. Cost is about $2400 in the US.

 

I have spoken with Matthew Forte of Motor Works Racing about the Revo software for the 996 TT. He recommends/sells and supports the Revo software.

He runs a nice Porsche racing shop in north Atlanta.

 

Sweet car you have Jon.

 

I like it, but I think most of the well known Flash utilized on this board will work well

 

Be very very careful with the 5 hour trial. Your ecu will not be stock any longer and if you decide not to go with a revo flash....your next tuner may not be able to flash your ecu.

 

Bingo....

 

I had the REVO stage 2 flash and car ran and performed great. It was best after the aftermarket EVO waste gates. Car completely different, it was unbelievable the improvement in torque and hp.

 

sold, I am getting a pair ASAP. Thanks Tom.

 

I decided against....mostly becasue of the information I learned that your ECU will not go back to stock. When the 5 hour trial ends, the program has to go somewhere...it just doesn't evaporate like a Mission Impossible recorder. I'm an NOT knocking REVO, I just think I need to look closer to home.
