ONLY THE DRIVEN
Revo offers some of the most substantial performance increases on the market. How this power is delivered however is far more important to us, which is why peak figures form part of a much bigger picture and are never the sole focus during the development process. it’s all about the drive, and only Revo offers a perfected balance of power, economy and an exciting drive.
The Revo tuning philosophy ensures that impressive performance benefits are balanced with useable, reliable power delivery that enhances the way your vehicle drives. Development on the road and race track, as well as testing in controlled dyno conditions, gives you a clearer picture of the performance you can expect from Revo ECU Software. Testing in this way plays an important role in ensuring the highest quality products and delivering the driving experience you demand.
Only Revo performance ECU Software maintains factory safety levels and additional driving features so you can enjoy each mode’s unique characteristics as usual. You can also choose between two pre-set fuel quality modes depending on which fuel you use. If you would like the ability to do this yourself then the Revo SPS Software Switch is also available separately, which can be used to quickly switch fuel modes without the need to visit a Revo Authorised Dealer.
IS38 Turbo Upgrade
Revo Stage 3-IS38 software utilises the OEM IS38 turbocharger from the S3 / Golf Mk7 R to fully enhance your A3 / TT / Golf MK7 GTi / Octavia VRS. The software optimizes the uprated hardware on the 2.0 TSi MQB engine and ties it all together to make the very most out of your upgrades. Giving you increased torque and power throughout the rev range without compromising on driveability, smoothness or power delivery.
With intensive research and development, our calibration engineers have been able to produce software that will not only transform your vehicle and driving experience but also incorporates some very impressive features. Our own Development Octavia VRS has been used for calibration, as a daily driver and on track, allowing us to fine-tune the software for every driving condition.

Access to vehicles on this scale enables the calibration team to fine-tune products before release, testing products in a wide range of climates and conditions including altitude, fuel quality, humidity. This also allows Revo to test how Revo products perform in different driving scenarios and formed a vital part in the development of Performance ECU Software.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES
COLD START PROTECTION FEATURE
For engine oil to work effectively and lubricate your engine it needs time to warm up. When you first start your car, the cold oil is at its thickest, producing higher oil pressure when pumped around the engine putting extra pressure on oil seals. As the engine temperature increases, so do the oil temperature. This thins the oil, enabling it to run more freely and better lubricate the moving parts of your engine. Cold Start Protection helps protect engine components by limiting turbo boost until the oil temperature increases and reaches optimum operating levels.
- Oil below 70ºC: Boost limited
- Oil above 70ºC: Full boost available
EXHAUST OVERRUN 1
The Revo Exhaust Overrun feature offers an audible crackle that's more OEM+ than 'pops and bangs'. The track influenced acoustics are exclusive to Sports Mode and only activated when within safe tolerances. Active during manual gear shifts, throttle lift-off during deceleration, whilst extensive development ensures engine safety. Currently only available for vehicles running Performance Pack or Stage 2 software (and above) and limited by ECU Identification number. Read more.
