REVO Stage 2 or SPS3?
Hello,
Sorry for the dumb question, but do I need to buy stage 2 software from REVO if I already have stage 1, or can I buy a SPS3 and make the adjustments myself? The shop made it sound like there wasn't additional software and that they were just going to change the boost and timing settings with a laptop. I wanted the SPS3 anyway, so I was wondering if I could just get the software up to stage 2 myself with just buying and using the SPS3.
Thanks in advance!

Yup, parts required:
"Revo Stage 2 software has been specifically developed to attain the best possible performance from cars with more extensive bolt on performance modifications. The Revo Stage 2 software is tuned on vehicle applications using a 4 bar fuel pressure regulator, a quality aftermarket performance exhaust system and a good air intake induction system. Furthermore, our Stage 2 software can be used with a de-cat exhaust for race or track use. The tuning style is more aggressive than the basic Revo performance software, and will typically yield 10-15% more useable power."
And from one of the VW forums:
"...running Neuspeed P-Flow Intake, AWE 2.5 inch TBE with the 200 cell metal cat, Neuspeed Pulley, and REVO Stage 2 ECU flash. Car runs at about 21 lbs of Boost. 70 degree day in New England on Swift Motorsport's Dyno. 240 hp @ 4400 RPM and 302 ft/lbs @ 3100 RPM..."
Those are to the ground numbers. Add another 10-15% (30ish or so HP) for the gross HP =~275. With 21lbs of boost I hope he has a wheelbarrow with him to haul the pieces home when it grenades.
I wonder if he has wheelspin problems?

Yes you need to have a HFC or test pipe and exhaust. The stage 2 REVO really brings out the performance in the downpipe. I just installed a Stasis Exhaust and 034 Motorsport HFC then bumped up to Stage 2. Awesome sounds and a nice solid low drone. Its psi goes up and you really get a lot more out of the car.
However, right now im having a little trouble. my car was balking and it seemed like there was something up the the plugs, so i changed those out to new Bosch stock ones (which is what seems to be recommended). It cleared it up a bit but not fully. I think my main problem is that i have a custom intake. I'm gonna pull that out and swap it back to stock to see if it run smoother.
Any suggestions for a solution guys?
