It probably won't leak, but it is going to be very difficult to remove the cover without damaging it next time. If it really bothers you, you can take it off now and redo it with sealant only in the...

Torque Under the Curve

The main thing you gain with the 1+ programming is the torque. Look at the area under the curve.

Yes, w/ Stage 2 you can set fuel, timing, and boost. The larger injectors allow you to run higher boost because you can now provide additional fuel. The Stage 1 program was limited by the small OEM...

Francois,

You will be okay. I am running Revo Stage 2 w/ injectors - no intercooler and no downpipe. It is a very powerful program. I think you will like it. I spike to 22 psi +/- and can hold...

Well you can try just Stage 1 alone and see if the power gains are enough for your needs. If not, you throw in a set of injectors (30 minutes) and re-flash the car, (15 minutes) and you are good to...

The 20 psi spike is no big deal. The K03 can hold 15 psi without any issues. I wouldn't worry about the longevity as they seem to hold up just fine. Many people have tried to kill the K03 with little...

try Stage 1, sure

Yeah you can start with just Stage 1. If you are going with Revo, they are quite reasonable with their upgrade pricing, unlike some of the other companies. Here is my Stage 2 data log curve from this...

stock injectors are only good for 195Hp max

If you do the math on how much a 280cc injector (oem) can flow on a turbo charged engine you come up with 190 Hp at a 98% injector duty cycle. You can play around with the numbers and use different...

go Revo Stage 2

I do not recommend Stage 1. Why? Because the stock injectors are too small to properly tune for any increase in boost. Your oem injectors are 280cc and they are already almost maxed out. If you get a...

Exactly - that is why I really like Revo

When Doug loaded my Revo Stage 2 they customized the program for my 93 octane and my lack of an upgraded intercooler and downpipe. When I decide to add those, I can go back up to Reflex Tuning and...

I'm running Revo Stage 2 w/ injectors

The only other mods I have are a set of NGK BKR7E copper plugs gapped to .028". The one advantage of Revo is that you can load different versions of the program to slightly de-tune the flash. I will...

You need to disconnect the two upper control arms, the steering rod, the two lower control arms, and remove the axle nut. Then you can remove the upright aluminum suspension assembly. You need to...

yes they are decent - lower cost to own than audi

They are nice cars. The mk5 is better, but you can get some great deals on used mk4's right now. If you can service these vehicles yourself, they will last you a long time and not cost too much. They...

okay so SMIC not worth the cost, what about DSMIC

What kind of temp drops do you get with the DSMIC? Where is the best place to source parts? The only reason I considered the Apikol is that I don't want to increase pressure drop and lag. I like the...

SMIC and Downpipe or High-Flo Cat - Recommendations?

I just had my car flashed to Revo Stage 2 w/ Genesis 380 injectors by Doug & Heather at Reflex Tuning in Manchester, NH. The car runs fantastic.

If I add a downpipe and an intercooler, there is...
