To clarify, the 'integrated circuits' contain a small piece of circuitry on a 'silicon chip'.
That's where the term comes from [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Regarding the Revo map, the dyno plots I've seen so far suggest that Revo program for higher boost than their competitors.

Higher boost means more torque/power, but in all probability, also a shorter engine life (you don't get something for nothing in this game...)

You not seen my plots yet then Dippy?

No - what boost are you running?

[DuncS3]

1.4 max but I posted in the S3 section

OK, I don't read the S3 forum much - there are just too many forums here to read them all.

1.4 doesn't sound too high, although aren't most AmD and APR S3s running a tad less?

I can only really comment on the RS4 plots I saw and Revo run higher boost than AmD or APR.

Anyway, I'm not being negative about Revo, just trying to be informative. I get the impression that some people think that raising boost does not harm the engine. It does. Increasing engine stress reduces its expected lifespan.

[DuncS3]

no probs, not coming across anti Revo - in fact its me who comes across as a bit pro Revo at times.

AMD run a overboost of 1.7 bar

APR run about 1.35 max, but both Revo and APR maintain there boost for longer, hence giving them comparative performance to the 'ass kick' examples.
