Default revo question..my stock turbo doesn't feel like it use to...

i got my REVO chip about two months ago....after installing it (or programing), the turbo does not seem do feel as strong on low RPMs....it feels like i lost some power....

i had my 50k service done this past weekend...i look at the invoice to see what was done to my car. it said, CLEARED ALL ERRORS AND PROBLEMS ON THE COMPUTER....does this mean they reprogrammed my car to stock? now that i have me car back, it feels even more sluggish...i know there isn't a problem with the car, i just got it serviced...

Default I believe that the REVO software can be overwritten...

...that's their security feature. Allowing an ECU reflash makes it so that the dealer doesn't know you have the software...unlike APR where the dealer wouldn't be able to do a reflash. Your REVO tuner should be able to reprogram your software at no cost since this is the "security" that REVO designed. Hope that helps...also...have you tried going back to stock if you have the SPS unit...is there a difference?

Default Anything's possible...

Where did you get your software from...that's who I would talk to. Not sure about the air flow meter issue, but it is a little odd that your car was fine before going to the dealer. You can also find someone near you who has a VAG-COM to see if you're throwing any codes...you can also check boost pressures to see if your REVO is working. If my REVO wasn't working it would be VERY obvious as it pulls like crazy when it's active.

Default You don't know who you got it from [insert company name here]? Just David?

If you're in Socal, then I have to assume you're talking about David Sarabi at <a href="http://www.ecodetuning.com/home/">Eurocode Tuning</a>. You had best contact him:

Default the dealership replaced my ECU on me once...

as long as you have the paperwork in hand, David should be able to re-flash you for free.
