TT 180 Revo
I have a 2002 TT180 Quattro 5-Speed manual and was looking to get the Revo download as well as the SPS switch. I am trying to find the safest mod possible as far as my factory warranty goes and was wondering if any of you have installed this program under a warranty. Is it possible for the dealer to detect this software? I would greatly appreciate any information regarding Revo software under a warranty.

RE: TT 180 Revo
I have a 2000 TT 180Hp and I just got the software mod this morning... you can totally feel the difference.. in terms of the torque...
The car is stocked and the only thing I changed is a Forge Diverter Valve.
If I have to go to the dealer I can just bring it back to 180 before it gets to the shop....
If the Dealer drives my car the muffler sounds a bit different.. so they might know that something is up...
it will only take them less than a min to figure out if you change something if they plug their laptop into your car.... all the specs will show.. :S
so i would advice you to talk to whoever is going to mod your car and change it back when your going to go back to the dealer...

RE: TT 180 Revo
I've read that many people who installed REVO in their TT, have experienced a "screeching sound" on acceleration. I believe the problem is more prevalent on a 225HP TT. Was just wondering if you experienced this problem?

RE: TT 180 Revo
It's not the tires. Here is the response that I got from REVO with regard to this issue:
"The Screeching you refer to is a noise that does occur on some of the earlier cars due to a difference in the shape of the inlet tract on those cars. When you increase the air speed over that particular shape inlet you do get a screeching noise but this is due to movement of air as opposed to any kind of mechanical problem. This is not something you should experience on a 180hp car as we have only had reports of this on 225 hp, S4 and RS4 cars."
