You could have a look at our website to find your nearest Revo dealer...

www.revotechnik.com

But in honesty I think your car might be a little earlier than what we cater for, if you could find your ECU # then I could tell you for sure though. Otherwise any of our dealers would be able to advise.

I hope this helps.

Kim Collins at QST

Though now Jabbasport have cracked the ECU issue that may not be a bad call either.

What ECU issue is that then?

Jabba remapped my last car (twice) and countless cars belonging to people i know / have met with virtually no problems. I's go back to them without a second thought.

Would you be referring to the problems with the new 2.0 FSi T by any chance?

I thought the Audi ECU's were particularly tempremental (over the VW and Seat ones) which is why Jabbasport historically didnt do a lot of Audis.

The chap at Vmax with the quite ludicrous but alluring 360bhp Ibiza was telling me.

Could be but i've never heard about it...

Best bet is to give em a call, if they have any problems with Audis they'll be honest about it. A very professional & friendly outfit

I dont doubt that for one minute and the quality of the install in that Ibiza was astounding. They've just never seem to have been as prevalent in Audi circles as they have with the Seats.

Hello i am the Ibiza owner from v-max10. Your ecu should not be a problem on that age of car. Jabba should be able to advise, i guess its similar to a similar aged golf 1.8t, the newer ecu's have been sorted for mapping by jabba now and have been for a while last 3-6 months i think its the bosch 7.5unit where as mine was just a 7.0.

I look forward to adding another turbo alongside my current one for a nice 450bhp 400lbs/ft setup. I will be altering the final drive and i hope i can add another 15-20mph to my terminal speeds (currently 162mph @ vmax10).

Give Jabba a ring i am sure they can help. I dont think mapping the new ecu was a problem just mapping it for a big turbo setup.

Best price so far is for an upsolute chip with the chap visiting my house and changing the actual chip (not flashing memory) for £295. Seems good value...
