About to do my upgrades..

Elderan · 11-01-2003, 07:10 PM

I had the revo demo and I was floored by it. I just love it. What I want to do is the full revo, forge exhaust and forge DV..

I guess my question is what these offer me. I know what the revo does, and I think the dv will give me better throttle response. The exhaust will just allow for better hp. Are there any drawbacks to these?

I haven't even driven a chipped car yet.

and the tuning of the chip. Nobody has stood still with chip programming so it's a moving target to test. Many here have thousands of chipped miles without any apparent failures. A few folks have silently replaced turbos also but only they know what modding or driving caused the failure. Even stock, if you hammer the car you'll get decreased life even compared to a well driven chipped car.

- herky jerkyness when you let your foot off the throttle only sometimes?
- not super linear all the time when you are WOT?

I get this too.

Any real data on chip and engine life reduction? __________________ 2007 S6 Unitronic Tuned \| Miltek Catback \| MSDS Filters \| RS6 Grill \| H&R 15mm Spacers 2003 TT 225 - Sold DG SS \| Defi boost gauge \| GIAC X-chip \| H&R springs \| Hyperboost Adj.
