Revo 5 hr trial set off check engine light???
I had the revo 5 hr trial programmed on my car. First let me say, the difference between stock and chipped is phenomenal. Like night and day. Anyhow, the day the program ended, my check engine light came on. The car also felt sluggish, but i figured it was b/c i got used to the power from the chip. My boy has WRX, so we ran just to see if the car was performing right. He stretched me by about 5 car lengths so i knew something was definitely wrong. When i had my mechanic check the engine codes, turns out there were 13??? 11 of them were 02 sensor readouts, 1 was a valve tank sensor or something like that. I have a friend that works for vw, he sed i need to change the fuel pump relays. Has this ever happened to anyone?

read the archives, there is much discussion that after the trial expires, the default DOES NOT go
back to a 100% pure stock mode, but a limited stock mode that was writen by Revo. plus posts have also shown huge losses in fuel economy due to Revo's rich programing... Once your flashed the ECU, the 'stock' mode you are now in is actually a Revo Stock mode and not Audis anymore and other testers have shown this puts out actually a lower hp than your factory default.

I just dyno'd mine for the 1st time after buying the stage 1, a/f is almost perfect.
I have to scan in my results and I will post it if you'd like to see it (actually, I'll post it later tonight anyway).
The hp and torque numbers are bogus due to miscalibration of the dyno, though. It got snowtrooper at 187 whp.
Gas mileage has not changed, but I never measured anything after I did the 5 hour trial.
