So I had my ride dyno'd recently and I was disappointed with the numbers (226whp/277ft-lbs). I started thinking to myself about if there was something that got erased off my ecu when I disconnect the battery to work on my GTI (which I had done a few times). I called Pro-Imports where I had purchased my Revo Stage I & II. Patrick is the guy I spoke to (very smart guy...been working on VDub's forever). He said that all companies with aftermarket flash programs have the issue of the "settings" (not the actual program, just vital settings such as boost and timing etc...) being erased upon resetting the ECU. Unless you have an SPS Select or Select Plus Switch with your settings saved on it, you'll have to go to the place you purchased the chip from to get the settings added back in to your ride.
Well I got my Revo Stage II settings added back into my ecu and booooy did it make a world of difference! I feel like there's an extra 50-60whp/60-70ft-lbs! Patrick, said that Revo is going to be releasing an update next month that will eliminate this issue of resetting the ecu and the settings erasing. That's why I like Revo so much, the ecu programming is what they specialize in. They don't have a high stake in other performance parts as much as say, APR, so their main focus is ecu programming (don't take this to mean that I'm knocking APR. There's really not one company with a chip that stands out above the rest. Revo just seems to have more options [if U buy the Select Plus Switch]). I bought the SPS Select Plus Switch so I have tunability options.
I'm interested to see what my new dyno results are going to be.........I gotta wait till Wednesday though
